Her statement through her lawyer asserts that this claim is false. She said that nobody used her guns for plinking.
I think people are rushing to judge her simply because she's young and takes kooky photos. Maybe she's at fault, but I very greatly doubt she put live rounds in the gun, and now she says that she didn't allow and would not have allowed anyone to use her guns for target shooting.
I think we have yet to hear the entire truth. I first suspected that some disgruntled Union member put those bullets in there deliberately to "protest" and embarrass the non-Union armorer.
That may be incorrect too, but we've seen behavior like this in the past from overzealous Union members.
Her lawyers crafted that.
Anything else would have been admission of guilt leading to jail.
Would you put her in charge of a city’s 4th of July fireworks display?
Only if you were insane.
