Well I had to try, thanks for all the comments. I'll just let him know he should let it go.

As for the city, they had the biker's story (first caller) against his. He drew the gun and pointed it at the bikers. When the cops got there, all they knew was he had a gun in the car, they had a call that he pointed it at someone, and while he had a good story, lots of people have good stories. IMO this was definitely a case of arrest him and let the DA sort out the facts. I personally don't see where the city really did anything wrong, so, that may be why no one will take the case.

Just my .02¢

Good point, i'll get clarification on whether or not he called the police.

I've been pushing him to do that. I'm working on getting my instructors license so he won't have an excuse when i do

Hello everyone, need a bit of help.
The situation goes like this. A friend of mine was driving in his vehicle, does not have a chl. He was being harassed by bikers and being forced off the road. He was fearing for his like and drew his firearm to back them off. No shots fired in this incident. One of those bikers called the police and they pulled him over. He explained the situation and advised that his firearm is in the vehicle. He was arrested(charged with unlawful carry), firearm confiscated, and vehicle impounded. The prosecutor ultimately dropped the charges. What he wants to do is file a suit against the city (Harker Heights) but there are no lawyers in his area that will take the case. He is even willing to go beyond the 33% settlement fee for the lawyer. Can anyone refer me to a lawyer in the Austin/Temple/Killeen area that may be interested in taking this case? I appreciate any info you can give. Please forgive me if this is the wrong section and move if necessary.
