Exactly.

Becca Campbell was a pro- Mike Brown protester:

“On 8/18, I took this pic of #Ferguson protester Becca Campbell arguing w a cop. Campbell was fatally shot on Fri.”

She shoulda' picked a different gun.

There’s a few more:

1. Don’t move a vehicle with a gun that is loaded. Unload the gun, then you can drive. (modified version of keep the gun unloaded until you are ready to shoot)
2. Keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.

I always put ‘clear flags’ in the barrel of my guns. That way anybody can glance at the gun and see that it is safe, including police officers who happen to stop you.

I had one stop me for a busted tail light. I didn’t know it was out. I had my shotgun and pistol in the back. Both had the barrel flags in them.

I rolled down the window. “What can I do for you today officer?”

“Sir, I wanted to let you know you have a broken tail light. I just wanted to let you know.”

Then he reached out his right hand to shake mine and said,

“Thank you for putting flags in your guns. I saw both guns walking up and knew they were safe. That makes my job so much easier, you have no idea. Thanks for taking the time to do that. Drive safe, and have a great day.”

Then he left.

Learned that from the NRA, by the way.

The First Amendment gives every American the right to a gun.

Is that some kind of penumbra emanating from the right to free speech?

[Rides_A_Red_Horse]

I thought it was about a woman rioter who bought a gun. I’m disappointed.

No, just someone who didn’t respect the tool she purchased.

[Rides_A_Red_Horse]

I can see why the police might want to investigate this further. Story sounds fishy.

A drive by - they did it wrong?

[old gringo]

what is a barrel flag?

[GOPsterinMA]

Samuel L. should have won an Oscar for that flick...which I can’t believe is already 20 years old. Holy poop...

[stephenjohnbanker]

I agree. He was great in that film.

[GOPsterinMA]

He really was.

You can never be prepared for your own stupidity.

[Lazamataz]

The First Amendment gives every American the right to a gun. But if you’re a complete friggin’ moron, perhaps you shouldn’t.

Nossir. It is Article VI of the Constitution that grants us the right to firearms. Self-protection is not a natural right, government gives it to us.

[steve8714]

Still true, and what a movie.

Either she is a complete moron (and complete morons are rare) or something fishing is going on.

[Haiku Guy]

I suspect alcohol may have been involved...
