That’s one ballsy woman.

Then again, maybe she just saw the small pinhole in the front of the barrel where the water squirts out.

Gutsy.
She's lucky there is a difference between having a gun and being determined to use it.

My recollection of chino joints and liquor stores on New Castle ave. most have turnstile devices with bullet proof glass where you put the money in and the pass out the merchandise.... And yes it's a real shitty neighborhood.
