Most CHL/LEO contacts are positive, how about yours? Bloopers are fun, but no names please, if it will cause a LEO problems!

The person who allegedly did the pistol-whipping has not yet been arrested (as far as I know).

If he is charged with aggravated assault, having a firearm in a bar will not be his biggest problem. Agg. assault has something like a 20-year maximum sentence for a first offense.

Also, if you look at the timeline, there was enough time between the people being ejected from the bar and the assault for someone to have retrieved a weapon from a vehicle. That would make it difficult to sustain a charge of carrying a firearm in a bar.

That is one reason why a DA may file charges such a failure to report a felony.

A 22-year-old man was arrested on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He is accused of striking a bar patron with a pistol:
