A man who knows his Constitutional rights

Todd Starnes reports at Town Hall about a decorated Iraq and Afghanistan veteran with a concealed carry permit who was arrested for "rudely displaying a weapon," while doing a ten mile hike for his son's Eagle Scout project in an area of Texas populated by wild boars and cougars. He hands off his camera to his son, and directs the son to keep the camera trained on him and the arresting officer. The veteran plans to sue the police department.

Police later reduced the charges to interfering with a peace officer while performing a duty - a class B misdemeanor, but he was still thrown in jail.
