It just had to be Florida, which brings to mind a truth so true no one mentions it, all gun homicides are done by gun enthusiasts or gun enthusiast friends and family members. Following is the good advice that is so good no one mentions it either, it goes without saying, don’t let your children within range of where gun enthusiasts live.
And in the I DON’T WANT TO KNOW department, I don’t want to see what Ted Nugent had to say about his Donald’s recent foray into 2nd Amendment solutions.
PUNTA GORDA, Fla. (CBS NEWS) – A woman was shot and killed by a police officer in front more than 30 people Tuesday evening during a live gun demonstration at police headquarters here, the department said.
Mary Knowlton was one of two Citizen Police Academy students chosen to participate in a “shoot/don’t shoot” role-playing situation, reports CBS Fort Myers, Florida affiliate WINK-TV, citing Punta Gorda police. The demonstration was meant to instruct the class on making decisions “using simulated lethal force,” according to Chief Thomas Lewis.
Knowlton was “mistakenly struck” with a live round during the lesson’s “first scenario,” the department said.
It was supposed to be a blank round, WINK says.
She was rushed to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead, the PGPD said.
Oh, I forgot, another truth so true no one has to say it is that the both the purpose and the results of OPEN CARRY laws are for gun enthusiasts to intimidate the rest of us.
