Gun fired in Richardson Church
The article does not specify whether the guy who fired the gun inside a church had a CHL.
But it sounds like he had a concealed handgun.
He could be in some pretty serious trouble.
It's probably not wise to fire warning shots inside a building.
This begins to answer the questions asked in regards to whether warning shots are a good idea.

I pray he does not have a CHL. If he does, he won't for long.

Sounds like he didn't take the time to learn PC §9.33 and is now going to pay the price.

It also begins to answer a few questions asked about getting involved in a fight between strangers.PappaGun wrote:This begins to answer the questions asked in regards to whether warning shots are a good idea.

*sigh* CHL does not stand for "Citizens Hero License"
Best to be a good witness and just call 911. Only pull gun to defend yourself against serious injury or death. This is the rule that I live by.

Church at 10:00 PM on Fiday night? That's after sundown Friday and a day and a half before Sunday. What kind of church is this anyway?
My word, what's this world coming to?

Re: Gun fired in Richardson Church
Upon first reading, I thought it could be a synagogue... Shabbat (the Jewish sabbath) is sundown Friday to nightfall on Saturday evening and Friday night services are quite common. However, this is not the case... I Googled "Solomon's Porch" and it's a non-denominational, Christian church in Richardson.Oldgringo wrote:Church at 10:00 PM on Fiday night?

Re: Gun fired in Richardson Church
The church name is in the article. It is called Solomon's Porch. I am gonna guess the guy had a CHL if they didn't also charge him with UCW.

Re: Gun fired in Richardson Church
Not unusual for churches to have activities for young people on a Friday night - to keep them out of doing undesireable things elsewhere. Sounds like this one did not work out very well.
