“What kind of idiot allows a drunk woman to hold his gun?”

Every man I’ve ever met, LOL!

Rifle = Fighting

Gun = Fun! (Or so I learned in the Army...) *SMIRK*

Gun folks know the four (sometimes listed as five) gun safety rules:

Treat every gun as if it were loaded.
Always point your gun in a safe direction.
Never point your gun at anything you don’t intend to shoot.
Keep your finger off the trigger until your ready to shoot.
Be sure of your target and what’s beyond.

I’m thinking there ought to be one more, and put it at the head of the list — DON’T TOUCH A GUN IF YOU ARE AN IDIOT.

Why was she pointing a firearm. Only point a firearm at what you wish to destroy. Even if it’s “unloaded”.

“He didn’t go to the hospital - he went to another apartment…”

Got a few questions here:

If she was pointing the thing at the floor, how did it get high enough to hit his thigh a short distance away?

Who filed the complaint? He was the one that was violating his terms and had to know he’d be back in stur for that alone. Why didn’t he bleed out with the thigh wound unless it was a scratch?

A little strangeness to this. Kenosha is not what you’d think was a big city With an estimated population of around 100k and is not really known for anything. The guy was a criminal, she was drunk, and accidents happen. So what does this one have that others throughout the country in like settings have that makes it a concern of the AP? Surprised they didn’t find a Trump poster...or planted one.

With this much stupid to go around, I don’t see the point of charging anybody.

Every element of stupidity you would expect to find in this story is there. Everything but the race of perpp and victim, and we all know what race when it isn’t mentioned or when names aren’t given.

I had to search to find her name. Deshanti Pleasant. Probably not a Swiss name.

Yep. I was in the first co-ed Training Platoon at Ft. Jackson, SC in 1979. Man, it was TIRING dragging the guys along with us! ;)

They had us females sing that cadence, too!

Probably can’t get away with that kind of stuff anymore, since LefTards are HUMORLESS DRONES and have invaded our military ranks at all levels.

“Not on guns I’ve seen - there’s a separate button to turn it on. The four we have all have a separate button to turn the laser on.”
