BELLEVUE, WA – A disturbing story about attorneys attending a legal seminar who said they would report their clients to police as being “potentially dangerous” because they owned firearms prompted the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms to call for stronger legislation to protect gun owner privacy.
“This incident was reported by The Federalist,” noted CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “It revealed that several attorneys attending a seminar in Mississippi said they would ‘terminate the attorney-client relationship and contact law enforcement to report their client was potentially dangerous’ just because they own a gun, even if the client had done nothing wrong. That seems like a terrible violation of attorney-client confidentiality.”
