Pro-gun people who work in DC usually live across the river in VA, where the gun laws compare favorably to our own.baldeagle wrote:Doesn't it irk the daylights out of you that this couple can travel from DC to California armed and loaded without any hassle, but you can I have to jump through all sorts of hoops to obey the law? Sure seems like equal protection under the law would apply to these scenarios.

Re: Former CNN correspondent shot during attempted robbery
The story describes her as "Russell — herself a licensed private investigator and former Fulton County, Georgia, sheriff's deputy with two martial arts black belts".surprise_i'm_armed wrote:IIRC, Lynn(e) Russell was a private investigator when she was not on the air with CNN.
As a PI residing in Georgia, it's probable that she has her GA CHL.
This raises a whole lot of scenarios since she may have angered someone she was surveiling
for a major league court case.
So it's possible that she was actually targeted by an irate party for her PI work.
I think it was just a local-yokel druggie robber who picked the wrong people to mess with.

Re: Former CNN correspondent shot during attempted robbery
This, version of the story, has a very interesting detail.
The pair worked in concert to get the husband armed.
The pair worked in concert to get the husband armed.
Nice story but I think maybe she is honing her skills for a fiction writing career with that story. Not saying it didn't happen that way, but the dialogue and actions sound an awful lot like something you would see in a movie or read in a novel.Russell and de Caro — both described as expert shots — were legally carrying concealed handguns, she said. She said she offered to search her purse for something of value to hand over to the gunman — and slipped her gun into the purse, which she then handed to her husband.
"'Is there anything in here we can give him?'" Russell said she asked. "Chuck said, 'Oh, yes, there is.'"
