According to you there were flashlights, Ambulances, all kinds of emergency vehicles outside with bells and whistles flashing.
What article did you read>?
Got a link or is it just you gun grabbing instincts kicking in?
From the article:
“. . . Ms. Huddleston called 911 after hearing what she thought was a burglar outside of her home about 12:30 Thursday morning. . .
“. . . After doing a perimeter check and finding no signs of anyone trying to break in and after trying to contact Ms. Huddleston with no response, the lieutenant sent other officers to the back of the house while he forced entry. . .
“. . . “It was a little intense at first,” the lieutenant said. “I didn’t know if a bad guy had broken in. . .
“. . . The lieutenant said he knew the wound was superficial so he crawled across the porch and jumped over the railing where he was treated by firefighters already on scene. . .”
Here is the story, cut and pasted from the article. I can extrapolate from what the journalist leaves out, as we all do, every day, here at FR.
The journalist clearly states that fire trucks were on the scene and if you think they pulled up then turned off their emergency alarm lights I’d bet you would be wrong.
I never said the government authorities should take anything from her.
The journalist wants us to think no one should have a gun, of course, and that the gov’t should take them all away from us. I don’t see it that way, but I don’t think this lady should have had a gun and I’ll bet she and her family, if they care, think the same thing.
My suggestion is that if families would do the jobs they used to do, we could avoid the government from stepping in to do so.
Duh, this lady proved she can’t handle a weapon and I’m sure she’s freaked out that she tried to and hurt this police officer who was not there to get her gun but to help her, as he’s done for others in his thirty year career. I’m sure she agrees she can’t handle a gun.
She can’t have it back now, every druggie in town will be trying to break in to confiscate it.
