Forty-six-year-old Sung H. Hwang maintains he had a right to bring a
loaded gun into a movie theater. No one was injured during the
incident.
A 46-year old man and a licensed attorney was arrested Tuesday night
in New Haven after police say he brought a loaded gun concealed in his
waistband into a screening of "The Dark Knight Rises."
Sung H. Hwang's lawyer Hugh Keefe told the Associated Press today that
his client's arrest at Criterion-Bow Tie Cinemas at 86 Temple St.,
where he was found with a loaded gun in his waistband, was "baseless."
Hwang is a well-known lawyer in New Haven and heads the Law Offices of Sung-Ho Hwang LLC at 1 Audobon St., New Haven. He is also an officer with the New Haven Bar Association.
Hwang was charged with breach of peace and interfering with police. He was released last night on a promise to appear in court.
Keefe told the AP that his client had a right to carry his gun into
the movie theater – Hwang has a valid state of Connecticut permit to
carry a pistol.
An earlier Associated Press article stated that
Hwang is a Branford resident but New Haven Police maintain that he is a
New Haven resident. Hartman said it is possible that he could have an
additional home in Branford. That has not been confirmed by Patch.

Note: I wonder how much this will cost the city for a settlement.
