He said a department-owned gun malfunctioned and discharged while the deputies were working on it.

And it’s a twofer because one deputy shot himself and the other with it. Two firearms safety rules broken usually ends badly.

Huh?

Shelly has a bit. More from Weerd. I’m not a fan for a couple of reasons, specific to my household. I figure if something goes bump in the night, I’m gonna be wrangling the munchkins to a safe place in addition to, you know, maybe being in a gun fight. A free hand is a good thing in that spot. Also, if I were going to use a carbine, I’d definitely go with a rifle caliber.

Never seen a gun shop commercial on TV before.

Actual headline:

Teen gets branded a felon for life for robbing man of 7 cents

I know! Sounds like overkill, right? Except our little choir boy did not ask the man for his 7 cents. Instead:

Stewart and Ninham carried BB guns that looked like real pistols when they knocked a 73-year old man to the ground–Stewart punching him in the face–and took all the cash he had on him, prosecutors said.

Now, I’m on record as stating there are too many laws that make people felons. But pummeling a 73 year-old man is one where I think it’s ok. And, you know, that whole armed robbery thing.

heh.

In Mexico, drug lords burned a casino down, killing 52 people. Their president says this is obviously the fault of US gun laws.

They learn a woman owns guns. A worker lets them into her house. They take $15K worth of guns without a warrant from a lawful gun owner. She asked for them back and the police acknowledge that the weapons were legally owned. But they refused to return them without a court order

Some AOWs. I like the over/under.

Ok, then.

Oh, no that was the other guy. But the press is picking up on the Is some guy from Texas dumb? attack. Sounds familiar.

Army to replace the M9 with the M&P? Always rumors of them replacing some gun. They won’t go .40 since it’s not NATO.

This a real poll at The Tennessean.
