Brad Parscale is trying to stop Florida from obtaining his psychiatric records to keep his 11 guns [View all]

Ex-Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale is trying to stop Florida from obtaining his psychiatric records so they could take his guns away

Attorneys for Brad Parscale argued in court Thursday morning that the city of Ft. Lauderdale had no right to take his guns away after his wife told police in September he was "ranting and raving" with a handgun.

The hearing, over Zoom, was to determine whether Ft. Lauderdale has the right to obtain Parscale's psychiatric records and use them to make a decision. Florida's "red flag" law could allow the city to hold on to his 11 guns for one year if authorities determine he poses a significant threat to himself or others.

In late September, Parscale, who was then the manager of President Donald Trump's reelection campaign, was involuntarily detained by police outside of his Ft. Lauderdale home and hospitalized. His wife, Candice Parscale, called 911 after he pulled out a gun and threatened to harm himself.

She also told a responding officer at the time that she had "several large-sized contusions on both of her arms, her cheek, and forehead" because he "hits her," according to the police report. She later told news outlets that her husband didn't hit her. Brad Parscale was ultimately released without charges.
