I noticed this when my wife and I went looking for house shortly before we got married. Gun violence in Wisconsin outside Milwaukee is pretty rare despite the millions of firearms. I assume Ann would swoon at the sight of a gun in the open. The gun might load itself and try to shoot the poor girl.
According to her bio, she grew up in Dubuque, IA and went to college in Missouri. I guess she has forgotten her Midwestern roots and become completely entrenched in NYC/LA culture.
