CHL question.

If he brandishes his weapon then it would be aggravated robbery wouldn't it?
Not arguing but I do believe weapon involved at all would be at least armed robbery.

Not a LEO or lawyer by any means though.

Im just guessing... i will wait for tv to post

Capital Murder.



I have never heard of any offense for merely carrying under a CHL and committing another crime however that crime may be the grounds for revocation.

Obviously that is not true if the firearm was used in the crime at which time the appropriate charge would apply such as Aggravated Assault, Agg Sexual Assault, Agg Robbery, Deadly Conduct, etc.

The firearm which is not used in the crime, does not enhance the crime.

What some people may be thinking of is carrying concealed in a vehicle when not under a CHL. You can lawfully carry in a vehicle if it is concealed, you can lawfully possess the handgun and you are not committing another crime other than a minor traffic violation. If you are committing any other crime, you can then be charged with UCW for the handgun even if it is not a "gun" crime. Examples would be such as DWI, theft, possession of drugs, etc.

Now if you stole Ol Yeller then that would be a hanging offense...

I think he is coming away with a misdemeanor.
