I knew that you did not plan on obtaining your permit just to cap the jerk.

There has been quite a bit of discussion on this forum and http://www.packing.org regarding the new "traveling" law. I have no idea how the LE agencies in your area plan on interpreting the new law, but the Harris County DA does not seem to be able to read. If you keep one in the car, you really should obtain your CHL. It could save you a lot of trouble. JMHO.

I own property in a gated community in Kerrville, and I know for a fact that LEO will enforce the law inside the gates. LEO has access to the gates.

Welcome to the board!

LMAO

This also may serve as a wake up call for the ladies to get thier CHL. Even gated communities in Anytown, USA aren't as safe as we weould like to think. -nick

A gated community needs to hold a CHL class!!

Since the local LEO feels he has no duty to act, why not walk while toting your favorite black shotgun or rifle? I believe that is legal anyway! 8)

I meant to ask. Is the jerk a resident in the community?

If he is, and if it were me and the individual disrespected my wife in such a manner, I would seriously investigate whether or not he has a history of such behavior in the neighborhood. Criminal and civil action would certainly be warranted given his behavior.

Nothing works better than time in the slammer or forking out green for attorneys and damages.

You really do need to get your CHL. The traveling law was not really settled and you open yourself up to a lot of problems.

As far as the gated community goes, If the LEO told you they have no authority inside the gates then they have no authority to enforce the law should you call them to your house. I would seriously question this with your agency. You could also contact the attorney general's office. They could more than likely answer your questions.
