Upside: The world is a little safer today.
Florida Woman!
She must of caught that Femoral artery, bleeds you out quick.
No harm no foul then? Seems like when you accidentally kill someone while driving your car, you often get charged with manslaughter. Guess since it’s a gun, and in the Constitution and all, that you just get a pass. Next time I shove someone down a long flight of stairs to their death, I’ll claim it was an accident resulting from an expressive dance and I was only exercising my 1st Amendment rights, so, whoops.
Bullet probably hit the femoral artery. Did he not teach her the basic number 1 rule, never point a gun at someone unless you intend to shoot? Because it sounds like that’s what happened here. Possibly she was swinging the gun around into position with her idiot finger on the trigger.
Midnight gun instruction? Doesn’t sound well regulated to me…
Wonder if alcohol was involved?
Where was the good guy with the gun when you need him?
