Nope, just stab wounds. Good thing she didn't have a gun, eh?

Bad thing is, he DIDN'T have a gun.....

Yeah, they should have both had guns. Because a parking space is
worth that much and humans are *completely* in charge of their
emotions.

I'll bet neither one of them would have been sorry for having shot the
other one to death. Is that your take, Gene?

My take is that, if she had come at me with an ice pick, she would be
the one with ".40 puncture marks." Once mayhem was in that darling
little 18 year old's mind, we changed gears and the "why" didn't
matter anymore.

A baby faced 18 year old, armed with an ice pick, assaulting a perfect
stranger over some imagined trivial event. Now, THAT is why we have
CCLs......

Yes, a gun vs. an ice pick. And what if she pulled a gun out and
before you recognized the threat, she started firing?

Sure didn't help the cops in Tacoma, even with open carry holsters.

Think it'd be easier to get to your weapon than the trained cops?

You betcha.
