I mean mentally defective people as in the medical definition. People with
long records of mental illness can carry weapons in Texas. Some years ago,
I think 15, a woman was sentenced to 144 years in prison. Why? She ran a
little business where she sold sex toys at private house parties. She was
stopped for a traffic violation and during the mandatory police search of
her vehicle (screw the Constitution this is Texas) they found 12 vibrators.
Texas law demands 12 years for each violation. Sex toys wedre and still are
still illegal in Texas. The poor woman finally did prevail but only after
losing everything she had and having her life ruined by an aggressive Texas
DA. So you can carry a deadly weapon even if you are insane but heaven help
you if you are caught with a vibrator in Texas.
Yee haw.
