bbc top news story quote, A Florida woman opened fire on her house guests because they were "too loud" and had overstayed their welcome, police say. Police say she ordered them to go, before shooting the man and woman in the legs. The victims went to hospital with non life-threatening injuries.

The suspect's boyfriend stated to investigators that he has told his girlfriend that once someone is told to leave their property three times, she is to go get the gun and shoot it at the ground.
"If that does not work, she is to shoot people in the leg." unquote

Not the best response to unwanted guests

Florida woman shoots 'too loud' house guests

There is some poetic justice though:
...."boyfriend was struck by a bullet in the leg."

Had to laugh at this. All of my house guests are ALSO armed, usually with a caliber starting with a 4. We don't seem to have any problems either.

and your guests still use the term 'Madam', Sir, or other courtesies, when addressing each other, firearms not withstanding.

ah, those were the days...

Indeed, plus one million..

to wit, an armed society is a very polite society... I believe we were born 150 years to late Sir..
