This is why a gun owner should keep their own record of model and serial numbers, including photos and destinguishing marks on antique firearms, so you have proof of ownership/prior possesion.cb1000rider wrote:I had a family member that was subject to a home invasion (he wasn't home). Some of the property that was stolen included several rifles. The investigating agency found the the people responsible and returned all of the property, with the exception of the firearms. They wanted receipts for the firearms and proof of ownership. On guns that had been around for a very long time, it wasn't possible to produce that proof.
Darned if you do, darned if you don't...

Nope, it was Tomball Regional Medical Center. The VA outpatient clinic is a different place.Purplehood wrote:It is a VA facility. I go there for my medical treatment. They do not have to have a valid 30.06 sign as they are a US Government entity.ShepherdTX wrote:On a slightly different note: The article only mentioned a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Texas3006.com has a listing for Tomball Regional medical center, but from the comments on there the sign may not be compliant.
I'm wondering if an additional charge of unlawful carry is going to show up and if so how that might play out as a "test case".

Re: Tomball hospital standoff--gun licenses?
I will bet the investigators stated he had a several handguns around the house, and that he was 'licensed' (aka CHL) and the ignorant reporter put the info together and formed their own statement which makes no sense in Texas.
