Virginia Psychiatrist Reveals Flaws in Red Flag Laws :: 08/23/2019

The Virginia Crime Commission met in Richmond this week to discuss dozens of different proposals to fight violent crime and reduce suicide.

One of the measures drawing a lot of attention is a “red flag” proposal, which would take firearms from someone a court deems to be a danger to themselves or others. Dr. Dennis Petrocelli, a forensic and clinical psychiatrist, provided testimony to the Commission about some of the flaws with the laws and joins Cam to elaborate on his concerns.

We also have an armed citizen story from Texas, a career criminal in Florida who’s now behind bars after trying to shoot up a grocery store, and a police officer in Oklahoma City who saved the day for one of the country’s newest citizens.

Cam Edwards has covered the 2nd Amendment for more than 15 years as a broadcast and online journalist, as well as the co-author of "Heavy Lifting: Grow Up, Get a Job, Start a Family, and Other Manly Advice" with Jim Geraghty. He lives outside of Farmville, Virginia with his family. https://bearingarms.com/author/camedwards/
