Fun With Guns: The Unloading Part Edition
Okay, we are headed back to Pennsylvania.
A woman heard a loud noise and discovered that her front door was shattered. She looks up and sees a neighbor “fire a gun in the direction of her home and run back into his house.”
She, of course, called the cops.
Next comes the absolute best explanation for firing a gun.
First he claimed to know nothing about nothing. And denied knowing anything about anything. Repeatedly.
Once the police found the guns in his home, he fessed-up.
Byrd later told a judge that he fired the gun into the ground because he was unfamiliar with guns and didn’t know how else to unload one, according to the Courier Times.
A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do.
Thanks to Larry for the heads up.
Next question: did the judge find that excuse to be just as pitiful as they come?
1Heckova great defense: Judge, I didn’t really kill that man – I was just unloading my gun.
2I s’pose he’s already used “Phone a friend”?
3At least he did not shoot her square on the face as Republican Responsible Gun Owner The Dick did to his friend… Thanks God for that!!!
4Could we please have some kind of test for gun ownership to rule out the morons? Can anyone come up with a good reason why not?
5@Rhea:
6“Freedom”. “the great Ronald Reagan” “Gawd”
Odd to have a neighbor’s door in the ground.
7Just because you can own a gun, doesn’t necessarily mean you should.
In this case, hopefully the police took them all.
8Strange he didn’t “unload” it on his own front door. Hope he has to pay through the nose for repairs, fines and pain and suffering. Also those guns should be evidence.
9@Micr: I said a “good” reason. Not their reasons.
10Reminds me of how we used to stop our roller skates. We ran into things. Fortunately we never shattered any doors or people.
11I hope that before he unloaded it he carefully stared down the barrel to make sure it was loaded in the first place. That’s the sensible thing to do.
12How did he manage to load it in the first place?
If you don’t know what to do with a gun, leave it alone.
13LynnN is right — everybody knows that.
