Ain't that the truth
Civilians get the book, lawmen get a slap on the wrist

He didn't do anything but send text messages. He got busted for DUI. What else is he supposed to get?

After reading the story, it looks like they really couldn't charge him with anymore, in fact it looks like they threw the book at him a bit.

Yeah, i'm not exactly sure what all the confusion is about. One giant conspiracy I guess (insert eye roll smiley here).

I couldnt really find anything else to charge him with...

Even if he had it loaded on the front seat, as far as I know he still legally had a right to carry it in his vehicle (as it was a handgun), and he wasnt brandishing either.....

Domestic Violence is an enhancer in Colorado that is tacked on to any crime (misdemeanor or felony) that is involved between two parties who are or were in an intimate relationship.

This isn't Texas.

That is a lot more charges than most DV suspects get, so believe me they didn't give him a break, not to mention all those charges ARE misdemeanors...what felonies would there be in this case?

If you break a law that is a felony they charge you with a felony, that is usually how it works.

Thanks for answering before I did on this one, I think people miss this a lot and don't understand.

The DV might as well be a felony. He'll never own a gun again. For his profession, no gun = no job.

What about possession of a firearm while intoxicated... I remember after getting my CCW they told me never to carry while drinking, it's a felony.... I know a cop who pulled over one of his cop friends and the guy was clearly drunk out of his mind. They left his car in a parking lot and the on-duty friend drove the drunk one home. No paper trail, nothing.
