Thank you, Georgia, for my laugh of the day.

First day of ‘guns everywhere’ law in GA sparks convenience store showdown

The Valdosta Daily Times reported Tuesday evening that the new law had already pitted two armed citizens against each other in a standoff at a local convenience store.

“Essentially, it involved one customer with a gun on his hip when a second customer entered with a gun on his hip,” Valdosta Police Chief Brian Childress told the Daily Times.

The only thing better would have been if these two dickheads had shot each other.

Another customer, who was also carrying a holstered weapon, approached the first man and demanded to see his ID and gun permit.

This is 'Murrica; show me your papers.

No, but wearing a stadium bag so you can piss yourself without consequence will be helpful. My mother lived in Valdosta for two years a decade or so ago. It's Mayberry RFD with cell phones and late model cars. All southern stereotypes are on full display as normal behavior.

11-year-old CA boy hospitalized after being shot in chest by 14-year-old boy

“Kids can get ahold of guns,” Breeanna Harison told ABC7. “And, you know, one thing can lead to another. You know they’re showing off, or anything can happen, and then the gun misfires and someone’s shot.”

Yep. They surely do. Of course it only seems to happen when there are a shitload of guns around for them to "get ahold of."

Hmmm....

HOUSTON (AP) — A man opened fire on an arena floor at a Caribbean music festival, wounding at least four people, police said, and two women were injured as the crowd rushed to flee the shooting.

"Everybody was having a good time, until someone shot a firearm," Silva said.

Uh-huh. Getting shot can ruin your whole fucking day! But that's the apparent price of 'freedom.'

Gun Fail rundown of law abiding gun owners having that 'one little fuck up.'

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/07/03...nFAIL-LXXV

Six people had GunFAIL accidents while cleaning, repairing or attempting to unload loaded weapons, including one man who managed to shoot himself in the head while cleaning a single shot, bolt-action rifle, and a law enforcement officer who accidentally discharged a weapon removed from a patient in a hospital. He was one of three law enforcement officers involved in last week's GunFAIL count. Three people helpfully shared spent ammunition with their neighbors in "home invasion shootings" last week, and someone granted a bullet its freedom while riding a city bus in Philadelphia.

Last Saturday also saw the fifth time in the past three and a half years that there were accidental discharges at more than one gun show on the same day. Bullets unintentionally flew at shows in Bloomsburg, PA, and Cedar Park, TX, the latter ending in a fatality. The Bloomsburg shooting drew a lot of attention, largely because it involved a dealer accidentally Second Amendmenting a prospective customer, but also because the dealer was both: 1) in violation of the show rule prohibiting loaded weapons, and; 2) a NRA-certified firearms instructor.

Six children were accidentally shot last week, ages 11, 11, 14, 15, 15, and 16. That would actually have to be considered a pretty good week. Not for those kids, of course, but only compared to the carnage we usually see.

But they call the second one a massacre. Curious.
