Quote:Rumors that he shot himself....I'm willing to bet that Texas doesn't have the same laws as New York does when Plax shot himself though.

Quote:Amid a report that Talib has told others he shot himself, ESPN explains that Talib could indeed end up facing criminal charges if he shot himself while in possession of a gun in violation of Texas law.


So-called “Constitutional carry” went out the window in Texas on January 1, with a law requiring a person who carries a gun to be licensed.


ESPN has set forth the menu of potential criminal charges for Talib: (1) carrying a weapon in public without a license into a place that sells alcohol is a Class 3 felony; (2) possessing a weapon while intoxicated is a Class A misdemeanor; and (3) discharging a weapon in public is a Class B misdemeanor.
