Featured Texas woman with a concealed gun accidentally shoots a patient in her doctor's office

Conflicting witness reports. One said the woman reached into her purse for paperwork and a gun fell out and discharged. Another said the woman put her purse on the counter and the gun discharged.

Something is fishy.

Not only that but hospitals are always gun-free zones so whoever brought the gun in was breaking the law.

The "need" goes back to the American Revolution, the Founding Fathers and their development of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights in order to protect the American citizenry and insure the security of a free state.

A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

You're right on both counts. I thought it was a hospital emergency waiting room. I should have put "almost always" in my statement about hospitals being gun-free zones.

"We sincerely appreciate the swift actions of our Associates and rapid responders to an unfortunate event that occurred this morning at CHRISTUS Southeast Texas Outpatient Pavilion. What we know is a patient accidentally discharged a handgun in a physician office waiting room, causing non-life-threatening injury to another individual, who was cared for immediately and has already been discharged for home. Handguns are strictly prohibited on all CHRISTUS Southeast Texas Health System campuses.

Actuall, it may have been a hospital. It was an out patient pavillion, something many hospitals have. It's considered part of the hospital. It's usually where they do outpatient surgery. The articles I have seen are unclear on that point.

But it wouldn't really matter. Neither the purse nor the gun belonged to the woman involved.
