Journalists / Reporters are notorious for their lack of knowledge, particularly about firearms. "Apparently loaded" ?? I think this is pretty obvious. "Not on safety" ?? I doubt it had a safety. He / she misspelled "Deringer" to boot!
As for why post this story, it's a good idea, IMHO. If nothing else, it's a reminder of the serious responsibilities involved when we decide to carry, and the grave consequences of carelessness. She's facing a felony charge. No offense to anyone, just sayin' that a reminder like this is never a waste of time.
