Temple is a college town full of college perfessers and their acolytes.
I don't get it. What is the police doing out in the back country? Isn't it a little out of their jurisdiction?
When my brother and I were about 15 years old, we walked a couple miles to catch a city bus and went to a Jacksonville Fl pawn shop. He bought a 22 semi-auto and I bought a 22 bolt rifle. We rode the crowded bus back and it was a nonevent. Shooting anyone never crossed our minds. In today’s leftist paradise that has gutted the Constitution and requires a $165 licence to carry (knowing that gets one on Hussein’s KGB list), I’m concerned to even drive my car to a big town to legally buy a gun.
Lol. No. In all of the recent stories about confiscation recently, they all share the same theme: surrender. We will all go quietly, complying with the un-Constitutional demands of the leftist extremists. I suspect that trend to continue, for one reason - we are law abiding citizens.
“...we are law abiding citizens.”
So were the Minutemen.
Maybe the State Police?
It wasn’t hunting season. Was he hunting out of season or was he carrying a gun for protection, rattlesnakes, illegals etc?
“We have our pockets of Lefties, but by and large TX is free of the disease.”
The pockets are overflowing. Take a look around. Most of those
paper tags (license plates) you see on the cars are squatters
from foreign states here to defile and pollute Texas like the
hell hole they created and then left behind. And then you
have the wetbacks. Same thing. Nomadic vagabonds. Destroy,
corrupt, pollute, defile and move on. All a bunch of idiots.
You’d think they would have figured out what the problem
is and not to make the same mistake again. But they don’t,
they do it all over again and again. I guess you have to be
pretty stupid to be a liberal.
The prosecuter is named. Follow the link at the bottom. The article is 3 pages long. Lots of information. How did this ultraliberal gun-grabbing DA ever get into office? This is not the first time this has happened.
Texas is a horrible place, don’t come here, you would hate it! snort///////s/ :)
“It wasn’t hunting season.”
This is an aspect of this case I’d like to see explored further. In some states carrying a hunting arm out of season is prima facie evidence of violating hunting laws. could this have been the issue here?
I’d like to take up bow hunting, but I wonder about the 44mag handgun I would also want to carry for bear/cat defense. It used to be my home state disallowed any firearms carried on the person during bow season. Crazy.
Texas Rangers investigate corruption of law enforcement and prosecutors here. Everyone takes it very seriously. I suggest he call them regarding this Issue.
The headline is incorrect, he was not hunting. He was carrying a rifle openly which is quite legal as well as a concealed .45 for which he had a valid concealed carry permit.
His son made a video that you can see here:
The deputies do appear to be out of line and acting improperly if not illegally. Difficult to say what may have transpired before this tape.
This is the same CJ Grisham who is having a feud with Yon. Yon has gone off the deep end and should be ignored. On the other hand, Grisham may have a few issues himself and he is working hard to tell his side of the story. I haven’t seen a good source for the other side, Yon’s account certainly isn’t it.
Video here:
A few years ago I was taking a painting workshop (art) in Arizona’s red rock desert country. The instructor had a 44 mag in his belt. He said a woman in a previous class had objected to the gun and then a rattlesnake crawled out from under a rock and the instructor nailed it. She changed her mind about him carrying a gun after that.
Skeptical...check it out:

It is allowed in Arizona
You sound like a lefty. Maybe he was carrying his guns because he wanted to and for no other reason. Read the article. He has been at loggerheads with the city of Temple about 2nd amendment rights. They obviously arrested him and took his guns in an attempt to shut him up.
>>How come the prosecutor isn’t named? The prosecutors and police who do this stuff need to be named and shamed.
You have to dig down the links to the original story.
“Bell County prosecutor Ken Kalafut”
They didn’t name the officers, who also need to be shamed and ostracized.
“It wasn’t hunting season.”
Hunting what season? As far as I know there isn’t a season on feral hogs in Texas. They are fair game the year round. Ditto coyotes, possums, and a bunch of other critters.
Feral hogs make good eating, if you prepare them right. When lived in Anderson County (which has a problem with them) my wife made sausage from feral hogs that got caught by hunting friends.
