That's why you have to pull the trigger if you're going to point it at someone.

So, she forgot to take safety off or tried to use 'liar, liar, pants on fire'. Was she already outside? How the heck did she get close enough to him that he wrestled the gun from her?

Seems there is a little more to the story ....of like she knew him a whole lot better than what is mentioned and an accident just happened when someone scares the crap out of you with a gun pointed in your direction.

She hesitated and he called her bluff

She won't make that mistake again

I think a lot of people take their cues from TV unless they're trained to do otherwise. And on TV you can always get within a foot of the BG because you have the ALL POWERFUL GUN that subdues bad guys and kills instantly when needed.

I have a feeling they're going to take this incident and turn it into more anti propaganda.

"Look she had a gun and it didn't help her! No one needs guns, guns don't help anyone. You're just going to get shot with your own gun!"

Not if it's a female. Everyone knows if you snatch a gun from a girl you don't shoot her with it. Ya just pistol whip her a little. That's all.

She hesitated, or tried to get too close. Just shoot! If they're in my house and I don't know them, no hesitation at all.
