BAC was 0.066 (under legal limit) but failed field sobriety tests. Most likely was high, but that’s drawing my own conclusions.

He had a joint (0.29 grams of marijuana?) I believe. Misdemeanor.

You can carry a loaded and chambered weapon in your vehicle in Texas. People that don’t know the law or don’t know anything about guns tend to try to make that sound scary. It becomes unlawful when you are driving under the influence, which the officer deemed he was. Hence the unlawful possession of a firearm charge.

Any one of those things aren’t bad on it’s own. Put them all together, and it’s pretty damn stupid. Regardless of your views on marijuana, the law is the law and you should know better.

Is it when you have drugs too? If he purchased the handgun under an FFL then he had to swear he was not a user of drugs. Being intoxicated with drugs AND a handgun is a little more serious than you are insinuating.

Tack on a DWI. Worst yet the car had air conditioning.
