I received this reply from the reporter of the original story:
"I did hear back from Sgt. Daniels and he apologized for the incorrect information. We ran a correction in print and corrected the story online. Thanks for pointing out the error."
A small win.
Added: I found the printed correction in the Aug 22 edition, page 2A.

Re: FWPD Sgt Doesn't know LTC law
I agree this was a good call. But the Sgt did make a public statement. I also emailed the reporter about the factual error. She emailed back that she would contact the officer.

FWPD Sgt Doesn't know LTC law
This was a pretty good apparently non-baised article about red flag laws and alerting police about MWAG
https://www.dallasnews.com/news/crime/2 ... s-shooting
However, then I read this "But if someone's in a liquor store with a handgun on his hip, that is illegal, Daniels said. “A liquor store is a prohibited place for a license to carry holder,” he said."
This is of course absolutely false. A liquor store must post the TABC Blue sign for unlicensed possession, but the owner can decide whether to post 30.06/30.07 or not. The Sgt. may be confusing the 51% Red sign. However, it is disturbing that he does not know the law.
