Quoted: The officer made it home safely to his family that night. That's Agent. A fed. Not an officer... |

I don't mean to beat up on the FBI- or to excuse them.
High stress. High adrenaline. I wasn't there, I can't say who was at fault. I was just wondering how the kid (he was like 19 right?) was doing. |

No problem, since I see this quickly disintegrating into a bash session let's at least get it right FBI dudes are called "Agents". Regular patrol cops(The guys that actually give a shit) are known as officers/sheriffs. That's all. Sorry for the temporary hi-jack tatja. I'm out

The shooting was deemed rightous and the Agent was returned to duty.
The kid is out of the hospital but will still face several years of plastic surgery. There will be a civil suit and the County is also still considering criminal charges against the [i]Agent[/i]. |

Strange legal problem. What a mess for everyone. |

The local District Attourney already had a Grand Jury "no bill" the Agent. The bottom line is that the Agent got away with it and the only chance for justice is a civil suit (the Agent won't pay a dime - only the taxpayers will be hurt).

Haven't the courts already made clear (from Ruby ridge) that an agent of the federal government is excempt from local laws while doing "their job"?

A cop frind of mine I met in grad school told me that in Texas, federal agents were not allowed to carry guns unless they applied for a concealed handgun license. I called bullsit on that until he showed me in the Penal Code that federal agents were not considered peace officers authorized by Texas law to carry.
He further explained that most people (including most police) don't even know that, but even so it's tolerated as a professional courtesy. He does not like the idea of feds carrying in Texas. [(:|)] |

No state can restrict the authority of Federal Agents to carry. |

I am sorry Sgt...but that won't wash...Texas had a big discussion about where and when ANYONE could carry and it did apply to Fed's....And ask anyone in Denver about the application of FEDERAL law to the state level. They call it home-rule and do whatever they want to.

Well, this would suggest that any state that wanted to could ban all firearms of any kind regardless of what the second amendment in your signature says... nay? (Hint: McCulloch v. Maryland, 17 U.S. 316 (1819) ) |

Off original topic but from my understanding agents can carry in Texas under the color of federal law the same as if we (TX peace Officers) can file cases in state or federal court. Them not being peace officers applies to federal agents being able to make arrests for state violations etc.. That is the way it way explained to me. If state law prohibited feds from carrying firearms then the Border Patrol and Customs and everyone else would not be allowed to be armed when they stepped off federal property. We all know that happens all the time. Another thing do you really want to hassle all the feds for carrying?
