At least my grandma used to ask "arm or leg?"

Shooting a stranger in your house is OK in my books.

Shoot someone who lives there or you say can enter, not so much.

Good comment, "One of the most important rules of firearm ownership is when to pull the trigger, not how to pull the trigger."

I mean not to trivialize the matter, but this is a huge facepalm... When did common sense die? Damn idiot woman... Please, please, please charge her with SOEMTHING. This is absolutely damn ridiculous.

In these cases, I think that the victim's input should prevail.

In a totalitarian state, the measure of your power is how much misery you can cause. Anyone can be nice – but spreading pain and misery proves to your colleagues that you are powerful.

I thought it was how many ugly girls phone numbers you could get at the bar.

Well pain and misery so maybe your on to something...

The cop didn't get charged with shooting his daugher so why should she?
