If the FATHER had a gun not the drunk daughter.
In that case, not having the gun probably saved him from a "life sentence" in jail... if he had that kind of mentality, doncha know... :-)
I think it would be preferable for the daughter to have her dad out of jail and not in jail for the rest of his life.
Actually I was clarifying what boss lady said. She said “imagine if the father was allowed to have a gun”. You said you didn’t think it was a good idea for a drunk girl to have a gun. That isn’t what she said.
