I truly feel sorry for this woman's plight. It's a pity that she didn't concentrate her efforts towards laws that could have actually been useful in stopping a rampage murderer like a CCW law. This story isn't unique. A lady in TX was inside the Luby's resteraunt where her parents were killed by a rampage murderer. Unlike Ms. McCarthy, she ran for and won a seat in the state legislature, and single-handedly worked to install a CCW law in TX. Her parents were murdered right in front of her while her gun was stowed in her vehicle in the parking lot--where it was legally required to be.

Crusader organization are the bane of politics. Even the woman who started MADD quit after they became more interested in raising money than in issues.

To argue for empowerment of individuals to engage in self help is contrary to modern democrat party politics. The LAST thing the democrat party wants is empowered citizens.

Well, not quite single handedly. She did provide the "spark" that got the legislation passed however. The law was passed *before* she was elected, but her testimony was pivotal.

BTW, the gun was just as illegal in the glovebox of her truck as it would have been in her purse. However the chances of being caught were much lower. She was worried about losing her license to practice her proffession. BTW. Her name was then Dr. Suzanna Gratia, now Gratia-Hupp. Nice lady, I've met her once.
