NOT CREDIBLE.2-ROBERT:MANY ARE
ASKING WHETHER A JUDGE SHOULD
BE ABLE TO TEMPORARILY TAKE
FIREARMS FROM TROUBLED PEOPLE
IF FRIENDS AND FAMILY ARE
WORRIED ABOUT THEM.2-SYDNEY:
THINK OF IT AS THE SAME THING
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE VICTIMS GET
AGAINST THEIR ABUSERS. KXAN'S
POLITICAL REPORTER PHIL PRAZAN
TOOK AN IN-DEPTH LOOK AT THE
CHANCES OF A "GUN VIOLENCE
RESTRAINING ORDER" BECOMING
LAW IN TEXAS. CENTRAL TEXAS
GUN WORKS OWNER, MICHAEL
CARGILL, HAD A TROUBLED FRIEND
HE THOUGHT SHOULDN'T HAVE A
GUN AROUND HIM.HE PERSONALLY
CLEARED THE HOUSE OF FIREARMS
UNTIL HIS FRIEND WAS STABLE.HE
SAYS THAT RESPONSIBILITY LIES
WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY, NOT A
JUDGE.MICHAEL CARGILL - "YOU
SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING.
YOU HEAR SOMETHING, SAY
SOMETHING. THAT'S UP TO YOU."
HE SAYS TAKING RIGHTS AWAY
BASED ON SUSPICION BUT NO
ACTION, VIOLATES
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS. MICHAEL
CARGILL - - IF THEY DIDN'T
COMMIT A CRIME, IT'S NOT GOING
TO HOLD UP IN COURT. AND HE
BELIEVES IT HAS NO CHANCE OF
BECOMING LAW ANYTIME SOON.
MICHAEL CARGILL "THIS IS NOT
GOING TO HAPPEN IN TEXAS. THIS
IS NOTHING MORE THAN WHAT
PEOPLE SEE AS GUN
CONFISCATION. LESLIE ERVIN IS
AN ADVOCATE FOR THE
RESTRAINING ORDER CONCEPT -
AFTER HER TROUBLED SON KILLED
HER HUSBAND IN 2013.FRIENDS
AND FAMILY CAN'T DO A WHOLE
LOT IF SOMEBODY IS DEAD SET ON
GETTING A FIREARM. LESLIE,
ERVIN - THIS IS SOMEBODY WHO
WAS UNSTABLE. I LOVED MY SON.
BUT I WAS ALSO VERY HESISTANT
TO GO
AND TAKE AWAY HIS GUNS
MYSELF." SHE TRIED TO GET APD
TO STOP HIM FROM PURCHASING
GUNS. BUT SINCE HE NEVER
COMMITED A CRIME, HE COULD
LEGALLY BUY ONE IF THE STORE
OWNER WOULD SELL IT. LESLIE
ERVIN - HORRIFIED. I WAS
ABOSLUTELY HORRIFIED. AT THAT
MOMENT I COULDN'T THINK IT WAS
TRUE." ULTIMATELY, HE USED A
KNIFE ON HIS FATHER. LAST
YEAR, A HOUSE COMMITTE ON
PUBLIC SAFETY CONISDERED THE
IDEA BUT NEVER VOTED.ERVIN IS
HOPEFUL FOR MORE TRACTION IN
THE NEXT LEGISLATIVE SESSION.
