OK, you're smarter than all of us here, mongrel. Can you pick some stocks for me?
The 'kids' are 12, and are medal-winning sharpshooters. The gun is unloaded, breech open, and leaned up against the computer desk because the father, sitting next to it, is researching its age. It is an antique gun that verifiably no longer functions. Did you see anything in G&R's statement of facts that would contradict these possibilities?
Or, since G&R's friend is a neophyte in this area, perhaps this was just a toy gun? Many people that don't own guns can't tell the difference sometimes.
'Course, we don't know all the facts, but you do, don't you mongrel?
And, by the way, please tell us why you think MN law applies to all of our states as well? Or, please point out the federal law you're referring to? And, trigger locks? You've really thought this through, haven't you ...
We all understand your well-driven point. What the hell do you want? Get a physical soon, so your doc can pull that burr out of your posterior, friend.
You now sound much more like a shrill, anti-self defense type. If so, just be honest about it, and let's have a logical conversation. Your superior tone is wearing pretty thin, certainly with me.
[G&R, sorry we're having this difficult 'chat' in the middle of your logical, reasonable question. Even though you haven't posted for awhile, I think you know this kind of acrimony is rather rare here.]
