Atlanta lawyer Claud “Tex” McIver had a lot of guns. No one disputes that.

What McIver’s legal team disputes is McIver’s ownership—or any knowledge—of the Glock 19 semiautomatic pistol that investigators with the Fulton County district attorney’s office found in McIver’s sock drawer during a 4½ hour search of his Atlanta condominium on April 14. They had been looking for something else.
