But she was taught how to handle weapons by her father...

Arizona state Sen. Lori Klein (R), a gun-rights champion, keeps a
loaded raspberry-pink handgun in her purse, and during an interview
with Arizona Republic reporter Richard Ruelas, she took it out and
pointed it at him.

"Oh, it's so cute," Klein said, before aiming the gun at Ruelas's
chest to show off the red beam of the laser sight. Klein's gun, a .380
Ruger, has no safety, but the senator assured Ruelas that he wasn't in
danger.

"I just didn't have my hand on the trigger," she said.

Klein told the Arizona Republic that she owns a number of guns and has
had "informal" training sessions on each of them, and that she was
taught gun safety by her father.

Local gun activists have criticized Klein for pointing her gun at
Ruelas, however.

Rob Mermelstein, the range master of the Phoenix Rod and Gun Club,
told the Arizona Guardian, that Klein's actions were "unconscionable."

"Whoever would do something like that needs to have a better grounding
in gun safety before ever laying a hand on a firearm," he said.

Yikes...!
When I hear that stuff..I'm sure glad to be a Canadian.

Did you know you are 2 1/2 times more likely to be robbed in your own
home in Canada?

nd if you hurt the thieves you might go to jail? After all, the public
defender gets annoyed when you kill the clients that allow him to soak
the system.

And, gun violence is much lower.
