“Her first mistake was talking to the papers. The only thing from her should have been, “I feared for my life” and “I want a lawyer.””

I agree. Some people don’t know when to shut up.

Does anyone know if there is a Go Fund Me set up yet for her defense.

What a fantastic Orson Welles movie. The ending still makes me feel bad for some reason.
On another note, I used to have to go into Vienna and some of those other places in the 80's. Quite interesting.

Bingo. Correct Answer.

Nashville and Memphis are the two top crime centers of Tennessee (if you know of other high-crime cities, add them here).

I won’t even begin to describe who runs these cesspools of crime.

More proof that the government does nothing to protect you but comes after you with all its fury if you dare protect yourself or your property.

Re: But I do think to buy any firearm one should be required to present a certificate that shows completion of a class explaining the self defense laws in that particular state.

Stupid idea.

Because no politician would ever make that process onerous and expensive, right?

OK.

So you think it is OK for a person to buy or inherit a gun not to have any idea as to what self defense laws are and how tricky they can be?

As the situation is at present only licensed conceal carry requires any understanding of the law.

But you think that is good?
