Disclaimers: The mission of OCDO revolves around handgun open carry. Now that Texas has some form of handgun open carry, albeit licensed for the time being, I think that being good stewards of our opportunity to open carry handguns, and expanding the recognition of our rights to include unlicensed handgun carry, should be our primary effort. Still, this particular case involving rifle carry has some special relevance here in Texas. Also of note that this is not an example of a recommended carry method (in-hand), although we may still defend the right to use the method while strongly recommending other practices.

Of particular interest to me are the parallels between this case, and CJ Grisham's original case. CJ Grisham's case is still awaiting a decision from appeals court, I believe. In this particular case, there are a number of parallels, but I think the evidence against this man was even stronger than the evidence was against CJ, and this man was found not guilty.
I will be so bold as to say, I think this case serves as further indication that CJ's conviction was the result of significant corruption and railroading.
I also wonder if the education efforts of Open Carry Texas and other gun rights groups in Texas contributed to this jury decision.
As we comment on this case, please keep in mind the mission of OCDO and the standard of conduct that is expected on the forum.
