Concealed Weapon. REALLY Concealed.

Category: humorharmonicminer @ 8:40 am

It’s pretty obvious to me that Texas sheriff deputies just aren’t paid enough to do this kind of work.

An obese inmate in Texas has been charged after officials learned he had a gun hidden under flabs of his own flesh.

Twenty-five-year-old George Vera was charged with possession of a firearm in a correctional facility after he told a guard at the Harris County Jail about the unloaded 9mm pistol. The Houston Chronicle reported Thursday that Vera was originally arrested on charges of selling illegal copies of compact discs.

The 500-pound man was searched during his arrest and again at a city jail and the county jail, but officers never found the weapon in his rolls of skin. Vera admitted having the gun during a shower break at the county jail.

At least no one will have to oil the gun.

    My wife showed me this article. I’m sure what will happen now is that law enforcement, following their strict I-don’t-wanna-get-shot-at-work-today policies, will now start being much more thorough of prisoner searches, especially of the obese. However, one convict will complain and activist groups will then be up in arms over abuse and civil rights violations.

    I am sorry to say that finding a firearm on an inmate after the booking search was conducted, happens far too often. That being said, I have never heard of someone concealing a firearm in this particular location. I wonder if they had to send in a search party?
