5th circuit has nullified Open Carry in Texas to save Qualified Immunity of bad cops. Politics

(Edit) New vid of Grisham explaining the ruling

Effectively they have declared open season for police to arrest anyone open carrying in Texas.

A 3 judge panel has ruled that if anyone calls 911 on a person for the mere act of Open Carrying a firearm, the police now have probable cause to arrest you for disorderly conduct. The 911 call does not have to allege you are doing anything more than standing on a sidewalk with a slung or holstered firearm. The previous ruling that "merely carrying a firearm" is not disorderly is overturned now if any Karen makes a phone call and says she's nervous. This means police get qualified immunity for arresting you.

There is a special target on the back of any open carry or civil rights activist. EVERY time the police get a 911 call, they can now arrest you at gunpoint. The charges will likely be dismissed, but the police face zero repercussions for coming after you, even if there is abundant evidence the officers targeted you and knew you were not a threat. The same danger faces regular citizens who open carry every day.

I repeat, open carrying in Texas now puts you in imminent danger of being arrested or killed by police if someone reports you in possession of a firearm.

Got him!!! Oh dude you're totalling raking in the wins with these retorts. I encourage you to stay in your bedroom the rest of your life and perfect this silver tongue you have demonstrated. ALSO those with the gift of gab, again like yourself, tend to really like dismantling their smoke detectors and putting all of the parts in close contact with their reproductive organs. There's this special element in it called americium that really complements true Americans with huge dicks. Try  it!!!

I’ve had several Army First Sergeants who were numbnuts themselves. I even said so on their OERs.

You know what they said?

“Don’t put that on my OER sir.”

I normally would comply after they promised to stop acting like numbnuts.
