CHLer arrested in improperly posted hospital
WFAA, channel 8 in Dallas, showed a story on their 6pm newscast about a licensed nurse who was arrested for carrying her pistol to work. She walks a few blocks to Harris Methodist in Bedford in the dark and wanted to protect herself. She's had her CHL for two years. The hospital has a sign, shown onscreen, that says "state law prohibits carry of a handgun". Not 30.06. They didn't say how she was discovered, but she was arrested. The Bedford police chief said that Hospitals are off limits period and she broke the law. Channel 8 also talked to a CHL instructor who explained that it has to be 30.06 to make it a crime, they even showed the proper language. She plans to fight the charges. I looked for a link, but didn't find one. I'll look to see if they post it later.
