I got that you were trying to be funny but when someone says it every thread that even slightly references a canine then I fail to find it particularly funny. It gets boring. I'm just waiting on someone to try and refer to the Zimmerman/Martin case.
Boring!!

I recommend going to keepvid.com and saving the video on your own computer in case it disappears from YouTube.
Done. Thanks, I did not know about keepvid.com.

The OP's video, the bogus arrest of the man carrying a rifle then changing the charge to resisting, and other documented abuses of TPC ยง42.01(a)(8) will go a long way toward angering the Legislature and getting this passed. More importantly, it's overly broad and unnecessary. There are plenty of other charges that could be brought if someone where pointing a gun at another person. Anything short of that should not be unlawful.
Looking back at the circus this year, the new law would probably only allow elected officials to carry a rifle.
