Which was a reasonable reaction, since Yewman never held a gun in her hands before, she had to go to a LEO who was conducting a traffic stop to ask him how she could confirm that her (new out of the box pistol) was not loaded.<br /><br />It's a sad commentary by a pair of amateur journalists who persist in writing "opinion articles" about guns when they obviously have no personal experience in gun handling.<br /><br />It would be similar, I think, to me writing about Firearms Laws when I have no legal training ... except that I at least try to keep up with pertinent laws and only post my opinions privately.Jerry The Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16181610016755426448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544914688307073747.post-19959867034952285162017-04-25T16:14:21.553-05:002017-04-25T16:14:21.553-05:00I find it even more amusing the attributes gang sh...I find it even more amusing the attributes gang shootings in Chicago with "Second Amendment Advocates".<br /><br />Blissfully ignorant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544914688307073747.post-45899308132832986102017-04-24T16:58:18.545-05:002017-04-24T16:58:18.545-05:00The word you are thinking of is "Journalist&q...The word you are thinking of is "Journalist".

Once that happens, Keller will be labeled a gun zealot or a Tea Party fanatic, and everything Keller said at the interview will be disregarded; an inconvenient side-bar discussion that the media will never reference again.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01081608209223072222noreply@blogger.com
