[QUOTE="slick4591, post: 882550, member: 16503"] It's not the fact that you have a weapon; it's the manner where and in which you display it. Case law says that even acts on private property within the view of the general public can be offenses. If that weren't the case one could stand in their driveway and wag their weenie at passing cars and not commit an offense. If you're on the back forty then you're pretty safe under the disorderly conduct statute, but the assault statutes kick in. Disorderly Conduct 42.01(8) [url=http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/Docs/PE/htm/PE.42.htm]http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/D ... /PE.42.htm[/url] Assault 22.01(2) Aggravated Assault 22.02(2) [url=http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/Docs/PE/htm/PE.22.htm#22.02]http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/D ... .htm#22.02[/url] If you point a firearm at a person and are not within the protection of statutes 9.01 thru 9.43, then it looks like you have committed an offense.
