It was Morgan county, not Monroe.

I stand corrected.  My eyes must still be a bit blurry this morning.  I don't know how to fix it though. 

[dralarms]

Lol. I understand.

stupid on toast.

 

You should be able to pay your taxes, buy tags, etc without further harassment.

 

As the artical implies, no difference there than Wal-Mart.

There is no law against carrying in a courthouse unless you are in a courtroom during court session.  Just carrying in the courthouse is generally not against the law here surprisingly.  If he had a permit, what was he charged with?

Yeah, assuming he has an HCP, should be a 1359 charge.

 

I'd like to see one of these we could keep up with to see a conviction on it, and more importantly whether permit is also nuked under 1352.

He doesn’t have an HCP.

[Oh Shoot]

He doesn’t have an HCP.

 

 A different story? Going by CA database?

 

But if so, then the more serious 1307, and as I understand it can still tack on 1359 if they want to.

Swint was charged with possessing a loaded handgun. He also did not have a handgun carrying permit.
