seems legit
@Reaps where are you having this conversation? the warning shot thing is ridiculous and was some crap hollywood came up with. Whoever is advising this man needs to look at a few case studies involving warning shots and how it looked to a jury.
So... take what you will from that lol
old man sheriff
his sheriff is an elected official and an idiot. any cursory internet search about firing warning shots will tell you that doing so can indeed land you in hot water and at the very least its reckless and dangerous
exactly!
lol that's good to know though. If some guy were hopping my gate 80yards down the driveway and couldn't hear me yelling at him, I'd have fired a warning shot myslef
from a quick google search:
Can you shoot someone in Texas who is on your property?
It's important to realize that you can't use force on others for a simple act of trespassing. To shoot in Texas, you must fear for your safety when someone is breaking in or attempting to break in to your home, occupied vehicle, or workplace.Jul 14, 2016
Reminds me of this story, actually

Also:
Is it illegal to fire a warning shot?
Do not fire warning shots. It is generally not legal to discharge a firearm in most incorporated areas unless your life is in danger. Discharging a firearm at somebody who is not putting your life in danger as a βwarningβ is reckless. Discharging a firearm into the air as a warning is also dangerous and often illegal.
the second part of that answer will apply to him
Oh psh!!!
That's not relevant

The defence rests, your honour
Paul Harrel is a god and that video has a lot of good info.
Yeah, of course firing a gun in the air in an Incorporated area where it's illegal would get you in trouble
If you're UNincorporated though and it's your property, then it's legal to shoot in the air? Maybe it's legal then?
in Texas, it is not legal to fire a bullet over a public road or outside your property. (or outside of the property you have permission to be on) you are responsible for that round and any damages it does beyond your property
if you're lucky enough to have enough land to contain a rifle round then congratulations you are a very rich person. either that or you bought an old garbage dump
that's where the 4 rules of gun safety come into play and what's neat about them is that you have to break 2 of them in order to have a 'bad time'
so, if a court of law finds out that you were being negligent with a gun prior to shooting someone (IE a warning shot) how do you think that will look to a jury?
it won't be good, i can tell you that
and at the very least you'll be stuck with a defense lawyer's bill and good ones are not cheap
I get what you're saying, I'm just arguing the point that the "warning shot" isn't illegal per se
Seems about time to repost these two
But negligent use of a firearm in the defense of your property is
it technically is legal if all the parameters are met however it does not look good in a shooting scenario
Right
That's why you put a flashlight on your AR
i spent $700 on gun parts today. $1300 to go
BAHAHAHA
wait did it happen again?
Did they reclassify DD's stuff again as something non-exportable, or was this the first mishap
