Isn't this the story in which the judge said if pistol owner had shot the bat wielder he would have been justified, but because he "handled" his pistol in a "no-handle" zone he was guilty?
I think this is an old story. He originally was declared innocent, I believe.

Only the law about exhibiting, using, etc., were from the Education Code. The parts at the beginning of the paragraph were from the Penal Code. Neither of those make it illegal to justifiably draw your firearm. The fact that this incident took place on school property is relatively meaningless. If either party was justified in their actions it doesn't matter that it occurred on school property. As for having a firearm in your car on school property being legal in TX. That is not completely true. If the person doesn't have a Texas CHL they are in violation of the Federal Gun-Free School Zone law.

A nice lack of facts in this story, isn't it! Why did the guy pull his gun from his car? Why did the other guy have a baseball bat?

I think both sides are idiots.I wonder if any of the kids were around to witness the parents make a fool of them selves. there had to be another way to settle the problem. This is a time when either party could have walked away or called the cops.
Not true. The law changed in Sept., allowing the concealed carry of a handgun in your vehicle, without a CHL... so the federal statute no longer applies, in this case...Originally Posted by 3dfxMM
