Anyone blaming his friends for stuffing him in a cab instead of making sure he made it home safely? The blame stops with him. Otherwise it can stretch out as far away from his poor choices and as people/media want it to, land flat on top of guns being the problem.

I'm not trying to be cold, but this posting and the article attached should read "Drunken man shot by elderly woman while attempting to enter her home".
The fact that he's a firefighter has nothing to do with this event. The article mentions firefigher several times in the first sentences and even has a quote by the poor woman saying she didn't know he was a firefighter. So what. If he was on an emergency call, then this becomes tragic on many other levels. But this lady was afraid for her life, and who knows how hard this guy was banging around? Is she supposed to ID the guy and find out if he's a drunk neighbor or wait until he actually breaks in? And so what if she knew who it was. Could he have been so drunk as to harm her when he gets into the home and thinks she's an intruder in "his" house?
