What is up with some people?
I work with guns. I conceal carry. I have guns in my hands every single day. So I have a fair bit of comfort with them.
Still…
I’m not so casual that I am going to mouth off to someone brandishing a gun.
Other people, on the other hand…
According to the Chicago Tribune:
South Side shooting of woman caught on Facebook Live
What is up with people getting shot on Facebook Live in Chicago?
A woman was shot in the arm Tuesday afternoon while live-streaming an argument with another woman on the South Side, according to Chicago police.
The victim, 27, was broadcasting on Facebook Live as she argued with a woman sitting in a car in the 6400 block of South Calumet Avenue in the Parkway Gardens neighborhood around 3 p.m., police said. The other woman pulled out a gun and fired, hitting the victim in the arm.
She saw the other woman pull out a gun and continued to mouth off to her. Seriously.
She’s lucky to be alive.
What goes through some people’s heads?
“The victim in this case knows the offender and we are working to locate.”
As of Tuesday evening, police had identified the shooter, but she remained at-large with a man who was also in the car.
The victim was taken to Stroger Hospital, where her condition has stabilized.
“What I can say is we believe this to be a domestic related incident between two individuals that know each other,” Guglielmi said. “We do not believe there is any threat to the public as this stemmed from an earlier interaction between the two of them.”
Oh, that explains it. This gets stupider by the sentence.
So one woman shoots another woman in a domestic violence situation.
I wonder if after all the “boyfriend loophole” bullshit that Moms Demand Action was pushing a while back, if they will cover this?
Maybe Gillette will do a Venus ad about this?
No? Probably not.
All I know is that if in the heat of an argument a gun comes out and is pointed at you, there are many things you can do. Personally, I vote for getting the hell out of there as fast as possible. That may or may not work for you. The one thing you shouldn’t do is keep mouthing off to the other asshole with a gun. That seems to always end badly.
I’ve wondered about the mentality that incites an anti-gunner to scream at a concealed carrier who accidentally “printed,” or worse, at a legally open carrier.
Do these people have no survival instinct at all, do they deep down know that a “good guy with a gun” won’t shoot them without significant provocationz, or…?
I had someone who knows I’m always armed get up in my face, chest to mine, screaming and raising his fists.
Eventually, you pull shit like that with the wrong person and they’ll shoot you or beat your ass
Remember the saying: Consider how stupid the average person is. Half the people are stupider than that!
To be fair, she DID ask what the shooter was going to do with that gun.
“What’re you gonna do – shoot me?!”
