Without knowing any details at all ...looks kinda like Bell County Police/Prosecutor declared war on CHL holders carrying legally or not? Or, a bunch of licensees all of a sudden got careless? Or every bulge is searchable in Bell County?

Quote from 24hourcampfire website wrote:He knew certain hospitals in the state ban private gun owners, concealed weapons permits or not, from bringing guns inside the facilities. He said he checked the entrances of Metroplex for signs warning against carrying his gun inside, and, finding none, entered.

“There are still no signs,” said Sampson’s attorney Kurt Glass, a retired Army veteran.

The police officer reported smelling alcohol on Sampson’s breath, but Sampson said a test to determine blood-alcohol content was never administered.

Glass said Sampson rejected a plea offer that would have required him to pay a $100 fine and court costs and forfeit his weapon.

On Wednesday, the sides were at an impasse with a trial date set for Monday when Kalafut amended the charge to include a designation that alleges Sampson was intoxicated while in the hospital with his gun, a clear violation of the concealed handgun law.
It sounds like the DA is going to "Plan B".
It's probably a good thing that I'm not a lawyer, but my "counter-plea" (if you will) would be something along the lines of this:

If the arresting office forfeits his gun to my client, you (the DA) forfeit your gun to my client as well, compensate my client for the embarrassment YOU and your OFFICER have caused him, drop the charges, expunge his record, etc...then we will not pursue false arrest charges, unlawful imprisonment charges, etc. against YOU and the OFFICER. Understand? :smash:

Like I said, it's probably a good thing I'm not a lawyer.
:biggrinjester:
:lol:
He'd need to be compensated for his loss of position at his work damages being potentially future Loss of Earning Capacity (and possibly a loss of earnings if he had a pay cut as a result) and mental anguish. And, as part of the settlement, the city can throw in a bottle of wine for the wife for her loss of consortium due to his mental anguish affecting the home life. I'd be so upset if it were me, I'd develop ulcers ..."rlol"

Re: Texas soldier faces legal battle over gun in hospitial

In addition to restoring his property, I hope the hospital and city pay him buckets and buckets full of money to compensate for the loss of position at his work, and for other damages for violating his civil rights.
