There is a reason we need a big ole wall around Texas.

One of us got caught today.

A shirtless man arrested on Tuesday near the White House with a loaded handgun and two knives told officers he was, according to court documents, “only going to fire a couple of shots if no one confronted me,” NBC4 Washington reports.

Christopher Wade Briggs also reportedly had a container of alcohol at the time of his arrest, which was precipitated when, according to The Hill, a Secret Service officer “allegedly saw him take a .45-calibur handgun out of his backpack and attach it to his belt.”

Briggs, who is from Texas, was arrested in Layayette Park, just north of the White House.

You know, this really isn’t fair.  Everything he did is legal in Texas.  That’s called Second Amendment Drunk in Texas law books and carries a fine of $1.75

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
