I agree, Mark. Lost all respect for DT after that.

Hope they sit in that spot and pretend to fish. I have a feeling that guys "marina" is about to be a popular spot. When I was prefishing for the same tournament I went in there for a little while and no one said anything. But I usually prefish of Friday's so maybe they werent home. I would have called 911, fish and game, immediately


When I am not fishing I am thinking about fishing. And mostly what I should have done differently my last trip!

Texas can charge deadly conduct as a misdemeanor or a felony. In this case, it would be a misdemeanor. But I'd certainly report it and follow up with authorities as to the outcome.


This case goes well beyond deadly conduct. If someone points a gun at another and a reasonable person in that situation would feel like their life is in danger or that they may suffer serous bodily injury, then you have a 2nd degree felony Aggravated Assault case with a possible punishment of 2-20 years in prison.


Nope.

Just because an action meets the requirements of one offense in no way means that the action does not also meet the elements of a higher offense. Look up aggravated assault and you will see that the actions of pointing a gun at someone and pulling the trigger also meets the elements to aggravated assault.


Texas Penal Code Section 22.01 defines assault. 22.01(a)(2) states that - (a)A person commits an offense (assault) if the person: (2)Intentionally or knowingly threatens another with imminent bodily injury.

Section 22.02(a)(2) - aggravated assault - states that -(a) A person commits an offense if the person commits assault as defined in 22.01 and the person: (2) uses or exhibits a deadly weapon during the commission of the assault.

In this situation the Deadly Conduct is basically a lesser included offense.

This is one of the reasons I always run a camera (go pro or the like) on the front of my boat. Amazing how different people will act once they realized your filming on a loop but you'd think people would know better these days when we all have one in our pocket anyway with smartphones.

yea I'm looking into a GoPro. Unfortunately my phone was put away in the glove box because I was more worried about fishing and was not expecting this.

In Louisiana, if it is a private waterway, you cannot legally trespass even if you floated in on a boat. However, I would find it unusual if you can legally point a gun at someone for this type of trespass. The owner should have called the proper authorities if needed for this situation. Until recently in Louisiana, if you could float in and remain in the boat you were not trespassing.

He will point that gun at the wrong person sooner than later hope he’s ready to pull the trigger not just trying to scare people. I know a couple that will point one back at ya!

Apparently he is ready to pull the trigger considering he pulled it Saturday. The gun just didn’t fire.

op happened in Tx.
legal to go on any water the public has access to, no such thing as private waters if connected to navigable waterways, that is why docks are all public as far as fishing goes.

Just another crack pot.
I've had similar experiences, but never with a gun being brandished.

All the Local guys down there should rent the venue right next door to them with loud music, try to park their boats in the "private marina" and do a meet and greet party. The Fishing Forum party. It's called Plantation Elegance. Someone set up a gofundme account for it. Douche bags like him will never learn... Maybe arrange a Fish N Chips tournament there- Poker tournament the Saturday before, then fishing tournament that Sunday weigh in right next to the Private Marina .

I've been shot at, in a marina full of big house boats, broad daylight and we couldn't tell exactly which boat it was. They were all open and they were dark inside and couldn't see anything. We weren't trying to stick around and investigate either. Should've called the law after we got out of there. It was 22 round and it ricocheted off the water 15 feet from my boat, I could hear the bullet in the air. It ended up hitting the apartments on the other side of the jetty.
