A Florida woman was arrested Monday after she opened fire on her house guests, whom she believed had overstayed their welcome, deputies said.
Alana Savell, 32, was booked into a panhandle jail on a charge of aggravated battery with a firearm.
Savell told deputies that the woman and her friend had come over to hang out, began drinking and were “getting too loud.” Savell said she didn’t want them in her house anymore, so she started shooting at their feet.
That sounds sane and reasonable… says no one ever.
Investigators said Savell’s boyfriend told them he has instructed her that “once someone is told to leave their property three times, she is to go get the gun and shoot it at the ground. If that does not work, she is to shoot people in the leg.”
Oh, but it gets better. The idiotic boyfriend who gave her this patently illegal advice was the immediate recipient of karmic justice, as he managed to catch one of Savell’s bullets.
The woman was taken to a Panama City-area hospital to be treated for a gunshot wound.
Police said Savell’s boyfriend was also shot in the leg.
It’s fortunate that she didn’t shoot him in the buttocks, as the brain damage would have been fatal.
I shouldn’t have to say this, but I’m going to do so anyway: firearms are not toys. Firearms are not warnings, or alarms, or celebratory items. They are deadly force weapons, and are to be used responsibly, or not at all. If you cannot wrap your mind around the fact that it is patently illegal to point a gun at another human being just because you find them annoying, then you are too stupid to own a gun. Period.
Laws vary by state :-)
It was just a .22 . . .
You FReeperettes have a side conversation here? :-)
“the girl was a guest she shot.”
Now I don’t get it... the girl, who was a guest, shot whom?
We’re long-time FRiends.
Also, I think it’s politically important to put chat about food or beverages ahead of whatever the ostensible topic is. As P.J. O’ Rourke put it, “We have lives.”
“He says murder, he says.”
It’s confusing, like Abbot and Costello’s “Who’s on First?” skit.
Hardly the dumbest reason ever.
A .22? Well then, I really do not see the problem. A .22 is a safe choice, little likelihood of the projectiles leaving the structure./s
LOL, I enjoy your daily kitteh pics.
LOL, too true!
Okay, I can see that.
“Hardly the dumbest reason ever.”

Right!
Although her method of hostessing is probably a little beyond what Emily Post would recommend.

Top 3 anyway; you got a better one?
I was cutting the rug
Down at a place called The Jug
With a girl named Linda Lu
When in walked a man
With a gun in his hand
And he was looking for you know who.
He said, "Hey there fellow,
With the hair colored yellow,
Watcha tryin' to prove?
'Cause that's my woman there
And I'm a man who cares
And this might be all for you."
I was scared and fearing for my life.
I was shakin' like a leaf on a tree.
'Cause he was lean, mean,
Big and bad, Lord,
Pointin' that gun at me.
I said, "Wait a minute, mister,
I didn't even kiss her.
Don't want no trouble with you.
And I know you don't owe me
But I wish you'd let me
Ask one favor from you."
[Chorus]
"Won't you give me three steps,
Gimme three steps mister,
Gimme three steps towards the door?
Gimme three steps
Gimme three steps mister,
And you'll never see me no more."
Well the crowd cleared away
And I began to pray
As the water fell on the floor.
And I'm telling you son,
Well, it ain't no fun
Staring straight down a forty-four.
Well he turned and screamed at Linda Lu
And that's the break I was looking for.
And you could hear me screaming a mile away
As I was headed out towards the door.
I’m glad. I try to find the cutest kittens each day.
I don’t like what Siamese breeders have done with the breed’s ears. My family had Siamese from the 60s to the 80s, and they looked much more normal.
The electrical drop in the house I’m in had an embedded random .22 round that it had stopped. Couldn’t figure out why the lights were flickering until the electrician found it. Apparently came from the Detroit side of 8 Mile Road.
But was she trying to get them to leave? Or trying to get them to DANCE?
