media item.about concealed carry lawsuit; Daytona Beach Florida.....

The Orlando FL Fox station; www.myfoxorlando.com has a news story about a 2A group/concealed carry advocate that filed a civil suit against the mayor & police department of Daytona Beach FL. The suit is based on a US military veteran in FL who contacted a help-line while intoxicated. The PD came to the veterans home & transfered him to a mental health facility for a psych eval(in FL its commonly called Baker Act). The police took several firearms & bows too.
The veteran was cleared by the mental health treatment center but when he went to the Daytona Beach FL police to get his property, the police refused to release it back to him.

The civil case is still pending but I'm sure it will be worth watching. Florida made new changes to the gun laws & this event may set a precedent.
I personally think the veteran's civil rights were violated. He was not deemed unstable or put into a mental health hospital.
Alcohol is a depressent. He may have drank too much then made bad decisions.

Note; 05/24/2013 is the report date, Valerie Boey is the Fox 35 reporter.
