He’s over 21 but unless something has changed, Texas penal code’s definition of intoxication is not limited to a specific blood alcohol content. He failed the field sobriety test. That’s the issue here.

He was going 16 over and swerving. Clearly the reason he got pulled over was his race and race only.

It doesn’t matter bc he failed the field sobriety test. That’s why he got a DUI. Bc he passed the breathalyzer and apparently the passenger claimed possession of the weed he has a case to fight it all. If he gets the DUI dropped, everything will be dropped.

He got a DUI. He was under the influence.

The kid is 21 and up until I was 21 I had never been pulled over for drunk driving or charged with possession or unlawful possession of a firearm bc I didn’t put myself in that situation. More people than not are the same way. You can have sympathy for him if he’s a good kid, and if he’s got a...

What does me personally have to do with anything? I dont drink and drive or carry my weapon when I’m drinking, so no that’s not an issue for me. What are you insinuating?

I know about 10 people who’ve gotten DUI’s, and I was in the car with one of them. We got pulled over on campus. Do you know what they do when that happens? They search your car. Even I was patted down. Two of them had weed on them and got a possession charge as well. Every single one of them...

How is the likelihood of any of us getting arrested like this kid, slim to none?

Exactly. The hate for gun owners only goes toward the legal, law abiding ones. They don’t even care that the recidivism rate for gun offenders is 20% higher than other crimes. And yes it includes the crime he has been charged with.

Gun crimes are serious crimes.

That’s the thing, they shouldn’t be let go either. Can’t complain about gun crimes or crime in general, if you are saying people should be let go after they commit them.

Absolutely not. It’ll be dropped to a misdemeanor. He’s gonna lose his ability to own a firearm and do community service, and maybe a fine. If the felony were to hold up, he’d do 24 months. And IMO if the firearm is illegal, he should.

Minimum he’s gonna forfeit his right to own a firearm. 5 years to life depending on what it gets dropped down to.

I’ll fill you in then. You cannot carry when you are intoxicated. It’s like driving a commercial vehicle. 0.00 or you get the bracelets. Having it locked away may vary per state idk. I’m only familiar with those laws in a handful of states. But in Texas possessing a firearm while committing a...

Unlawful possession of a weapon and unlawful carrying of a weapon while engaging in a criminal activity are two separate charges.

Did you just ask if drunk driving and unlawfully possessing a weapon, should be a crime?
