A case of road rage in Seattle on Tuesday morning included colliding cars, angry words, thrown punches and a brandished pistol.
The combatants were two women.
In the end, Seattle police arrested a 28-year-old woman and booked her into the King County Jail.

There goes her permit, most likely, and any gun rights, as it should be if she has no more self control than that. In addition to that, she may be looking at jail time. Gogo, is that not a felony? Obviously she was the instigator so she can't claim self defense. I hope she knows a damn good attorney!

In that neighborhood/part of town? A job I had many years ago took me regularly into that area. Very few had permits then but there were lots of guns carried. This area of Martin Luther King Blvd and nearby Rainier Avenue is one where you take your life in your hands if you wander into it by accident.

Even if she does loose her permit I'd wager that she'll still carry a gun. Ever wonder how many people drive with suspended/revoked/no Drivers License? Why are CPL's different?

Also, it doesn't matter what she's charged with, it's a matter of what she finally plea's out to. Nothing in our Justice System is cut and dried. It's all a matter of how good a "deal maker" you are (or hire in the form of an Attorney).

It will also depend on whether or not she has any priors, and what the nature of them is. Were it up to me, she would be charged with aggravated assault. :eek:

Geo, I was hoping you weren't kidding.
I'm in agreement with BigDave on this one. This looney (rhymes with 'Rich') deserves whatever a judge throws at her. This is EXACTLY the kind of behavior that the Brady Bunch will use as a prime example of why citizens should not be allowed to carry defensive firearms.

She'll probably be calling my office for an attorney referral.

This is the sort of thing that throws the responsible among us under the bus for the anti's. Common sense isn't too common
