“Pedro stated that as the dog got closer, he feared the dog was becoming aggressive,” the affidavit stated. “Pedro then fired one shot from his 9 mm handgun that he had concealed in his waistband at the dog, hitting the dog near his head.”Afterward, the dog “limped back” toward the back of the house and survived; Juarez and his family waited for the police, who secured the firearm while conducting the investigation, the report states.In May, Juarez, 35, was charged with unlawfully carrying a weapon, a Class A misdemeanor that carries a sentence of up to a year in jail and a $4,000 fine. He told the Star-Telegram that he has hired an attorney and has no comment at this time.Juarez’s version was documented by police.

Juarez told police he doesn’t have a license to carry a gun and “he believed that since the law for open carry passed, he was no longer required to have a license to carry,” the affidavit stated.

The shooting happened on April 30th. Mr Juarez is married to former Fort Worth school board candidate Pilar Candia and members of the Democratic Party Tarrant County machine. The “former” part is because she lost the election and I am sure that hubby shooting the old pup did not help one bit.

It is the embolden part that I want to attract your attention to: He did not read the law or it is bullshitting everybody or he is plain dumb. Open Carry is not Concealed Carry and it is your responsibility to know the law and not depend on what somebody else told you or what you read on the papers or watched on TV. Then again he might have thought that laws did not apply to him because politics and stuff.

Anyway, once again the lesson is clear: Don’t Guess What The Law Is, Read the Damned Law.

PS: What’s with Democrats shooting anything lately?
