This will probably make all the gun enthusiasts angry, buuuuuuut........

Is any consideration being given to revoking this woman's carry permit?

GUFFAW! :D-->

Great, so long as no body was hurt.

LOL

I am a NRA member and a member of the F.O.P. [Fraternal Order of Police]; I think it is wonderful, and would only question it if she had discharged the weapon.

Otherwise why would gun owenrs be angry?

Even if she had shot everyone and then herself, no one would have gotten hurt. Has to actually have happened to hurt someone. This, alas, is an urban legend. And if, like me, you've seen a few episodes of Judging Amy, you might recognize this as something that happened to Tyne Daly's character.

Ya know, I suspected that this may have been an urban legend. At first, when I read the thread title, I was expecting to find the one about the Australian Gramma who took a pistol, found the men who raped her daughter, and shot their private parts off. That one was floatin around the Net awhile back, but, alas, it too turned out to be an "Urban Legend". Too bad it's just a legend though...

I got it as an e-mail...don't really know if its true...but I have gotten into someone elses car thinking it was mine...totally embarrassing. So to me it rang of a little bit of truth...and it was funny.

[vickles]

So there!!!! :P-->

JL --- Heh heh heh -- I agree about the *too bad* part. Remember John Wayne Bobbitt??

His wife did not just "bob it", she took the whole thing!!

...and that was no urban legend. :)-->
