Last June the state of Washington enacted an Extreme Risk Protection Order. The Seattle P.D. used it recently to disarm a man who had allegedly been "roaming the hallways" of an apartment complex while armed with a .25 caliber automatic pistol.
Allegedly this guy was a pain in the ass and had been intimidating people while obviously armed. He refused to hand over the gun to the cops until they obtained a warrant.
Under the current law the weapon must be returned in one year unless the order is renewed.
Is this particular action in this particular case justified? Probably-maybe. Is it the beginning of a slipper slope? Also probably-maybe. We will see.

I would need to know what was classified as intimidation. If it was just openly carrying a weapon then no, he should have been left alone.
I'm not a proponent of open carry but it's the law (permissible) in Texas.
