[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]There are things that don’t add up.1.There is a weight difference between a loaded Glock and a BB gun that he should have been able to determine. 2. Why was a loaded pistol in the display shelf? 3. Who points a BB gun at a person’s face and pulls the trigger? 4. This guy operates a gun shop???[/FONT]

Hmmm. I’ll wait for a Paul Harvey moment, when we hear
“The rest of the story”

One of my best friends had a murder defense where the estranged wife accidentally shot her husband in back cleaning her gun—SIX TIMES!

I want to know more about this case than what is being reported….

Why was there even a loaded Glock In a gun shop laying around?

I worked in a gun shop. We either carried a loaded gun or we had designated spot for loaded guns to be within grasp. Never were any loaded guns laying around…

I was surprised to find no reference to alcohol in the article.

she wanted to be sure the gun was empty before she cleaned it

We had some of those Glock BB guns in the pawn shop and while they are very realistic looking as soon as you pick it up it is very obvious which one you have. This appears to have more to the story.

What I want to know is did she beat the charge? If so, I would
like the lawyer's phone number, you know, just is case.

Remember the Merle Haggard song? “She turned 21 in prison doing life without parole.” But her momma tried!

Hmph. I know we don't have all the information, but as it stands now, this whole thing just doesn't pass the smell test.

Sounds pretty fishy to me.

Keep us posted

OK, no mention of booze.

But, what about women?

Nothing like infidelity to make someone pop a few in someone's face.

Just speculating a hypothesis.

The only thing good about this is

It wasn’t “FLORIDA MAN!” Otherwise, no further explanation would be needed.
