Harsh Language!!
 
October 28th, 2013
The two arrested were allegedly only carrying antique black powder revolvers. The crowd turns on the police in a non-violent, but verbal dress-down of epic proportions.
Under Texas law, a gun manufactured before 1899 is not even considered a “firearm,” therefore not subject to open carry laws:
(3) “Firearm” means any device designed, made, or adapted to expel a projectile through a barrel by using the energy generated by an explosion or burning substance or any device readily convertible to that use. Firearm does not include a firearm that may have, as an integral part, a folding knife blade or other characteristics of weapons made illegal by this chapter and that is:
(A) an antique or curio firearm manufactured before 1899; or
(B) a replica of an antique or curio firearm manufactured before 1899, but only if the replica does not use rim fire or center fire ammunition. (Source - from another illegal arrest)
Warning: VERY harsh language.

Ok, I gotta rebut this load of false propaganda!!

Someone seriously needs to get an education about that they write posts about!!

Here is the LEGAL definition of a firearm!
National Firearms Act (NFA)

Firearms subject to the 1934 Act included shotguns and rifles having barrels less than 18 inches in length, certain firearms described as “any other weapons,” machineguns, and firearm mufflers and silencers.

History of the National Firearms Act

The NFA was originally enacted in 1934. Similar to the current NFA, the original Act imposed a tax on the making and transfer of firearms defined by the Act, as well as a special (occupational) tax on persons and entities engaged in the business of importing, manufacturing, and dealing in NFA firearms. The law also required the registration of all NFA firearms with the Secretary of the Treasury. Firearms subject to the 1934 Act included shotguns and rifles having barrels less than 18 inches in length, certain firearms described as “any other weapons,” machineguns, and firearm mufflers and silencers.

Please feel free to visit the ATF.GOV site for further reading on the legal definition of FIREARM

By the way for you 2nd amendment people.. A firearm is NOT in the Constitution, only arms!
Supreme court has upheld that a pistol, revolver, or long gun with 18"+ barrel is NOT a firearm! Got that??? Stop letting the word crafting wonders program you!

I dare anyone to put my finger on this as a legal definition of a firearm!

Firearm is legally defined in the 1934 firearms act!
