New Haven, CT — A prominent Connecticut lawyer was arrested Tuesday night before a screening of The Dark Knight Rises after police found a loaded handgun in his waistband and he was apparently uncooperative.
Sung-Ho Hwang, president-elect of the New Haven Bar Association, who has a carry permit, called the charges against him baseless according to the Connecticut Law Tribune.
The lawyer also suggested that he was carrying the weapon for his own personal protection.
Hwang was charged with breach of peace and interfering with police, both misdemeanors.
According to the Hartford Courant, the cinema called police about a report with a man with a gun. Police arrived and searched the approximately 12 moviegoers waiting for The Dark Knight Rises to begin.

Was that because of what Shakespeare said:
"First, let's kill all the lawyers!

Sounds like this guy was unstable anyway and maybe in the long run, it was a good thing because now people know about him and will steer away.....
If he had a carry permit why was he arrested?
Did he do someething with the gun?
