So now get this story, BradyBot Chairthing Heidi Yewman decided to 'prove' how easy it is to get and carry a firearm even for ignorant, stupid people. So,
being ignorant and stupid, she does so.
Tony told me a Glock doesn’t have an external safety feature, so when I
got home and opened the box and saw the magazine in the gun I freaked. I
was too scared to try and eject it as thoughts flooded my mind of me
accidentally shooting the gun and a bullet hitting my son in the house
or rupturing the gas tank of my car, followed by an earth-shaking
explosion. This was the first time my hands shook from the adrenaline
surge and the first time I questioned the wisdom of this 30-day
experiment.
She's seen to many movies and read to many Brady press releases although assuming the gun was loaded is one of the '4 Rules'.
I needed help. I drove to where a police officer had pulled over
another driver. Now, writing this, I realize that rolling up on an
on-duty cop with a handgun in tow might not have been fully thought
through.
I told him I just bought a gun, had no clue how to use it. I asked
him to make sure there were no bullets in the magazine or chamber. He
took the magazine out and cleared the chamber. He assured me it was
empty and showed me how to look. Then he told me how great the gun was
and how he had one just like it.
Yeah, she needs mental help if she has a panic attack even seeing a gun w/ a magazine in it.
The cop thought I was an idiot and suggested I take a class. But up to that point I’d done nothing wrong, nothing illegal.
Most people probably think she's an idiot w/o it having anything to do w/ firearms.
The gun makes me more fearful than I could have imagined.
In some way, I feel a certain vindication. I was right to protest
Starbucks policy. Today, they have a woman with absolutely no firearms
training and a Glock on her hip sitting within arm’s reach of small
children, her hands shaking and adrenaline surging.
Which just increases the likelyhood of something happening.
Basically one of two things will happen.
1) Nothing. She will basically show that even being ignorant and stupid /= death and destruction although that won't stop her righteous indignation against firearm ownership.
2) Something. Her ignorance and stupidity will prove her right. She'll have a negligent discharge, possibly hurting someone, but she'll be vindicated as she deals w/ all the legal ramifications of her negligence.
