Lawyers don't have a "legal right to visit" clients in prison. I have seen lawyers denied visits, and I've seen legal visits terminated.

I think the prison employees liked the offenders more than me! They made it real obvious that I was hardly an invited guest. I guess they thought I was his lawyer trying to get him out. The gun didn't bother anyone; my Bar Card certainly did.

I had to interview a witness that worked for my client before going to prison. I met with him at the prison in Cotulla, TX. Since "premises" is statutorily defined, I didn't think twice about leaving the gun in my car, until I got to the gate and saw a sign basically saying "no guns." I called the prison from outside the gate and the warden met me at my car, took the gun into the prison and told a guard to let me have it when I was leaving.

The warden thanked me for calling and letting me know about the gun, but they really didn't seem too concerned.
