Walmart shopper exercises her 2nd Amendement rights after her coupon is rejected

[kpete]

Woman arrested following gun altercation at Wal-Mart

On March 1, Mary Frances Alday, 61, of Crawfordville was arrested for four counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and one count of battery following an altercation at Wal-Mart that included four store employees.

Alday became verbally abusive toward a 48-year-old female employee when the employee explained that she could not use an Internet coupon. Alday struck the assistant manager with a shopping cart and was escorted out of the store. Alday went to her vehicle and retrieved a firearm in a holster. She removed the firearm from the holster and began waving it at the victim and three other store employees who had joined the investigation.

1. Sure ain't no 2d Amendment right to Assault and Battery.

2. Guns are tools. This is exactly what guns are for. Conflict resolution.

Mind your own business, Libruls!

3. And this is why

...oh never mind.

Another good reason not to go to Walmart. Avoid gunfire.

11. Best reason ever!

A lot of concealed weapons carriers practice what they call the "Walmart Walk". It's where they practice carrying concealed and walk around Wally World to get used to it. The Walmart walk is talked about on many ccw discussion boards for noobs to guns to get real world practice.

So if you want to avoid Amateur Hour and not get shot, avoid Wally World.

12. Didn't know about the Walmart Walk

where gun noobs go to practice. Thanks--will keep that in mind.

I know of a young friend of a family member who was killed in the Walmart parking lot while shopping for stuff for her upcoming wedding.

We are getting to the point where -- coming home from shopping in America, one really does think, "not my day to be a victim." This is how people think in war-torn countries and banana republics.

16. Their parking lots tend to be the most crime-ridden spot in the area.

Partly because they don't make the effort to prevent robberies of their customers or their parked vehicles (decent security costs money,) and partly because they let transients park their RVs in their parking lots overnight.

4. Sure ... doesn't every smart shopper tote a firearm to Wally World?

Ya just never can tell when you might have to put
one of them smart alecky cashiers in their place.

5. Thank God we all know background checks would not have kept this woman

from getting a gun.

Thank God we all know only repsonsible citizens legally own guns.

6. If you can't pull out a pistol in Wal-Mart, then the terrorists have won.

Glad no one was hurt.

[mindem]

7. So,

does this make her the good guy with a gun? Or the bad guy with a gun? Does this mean that guns don't kill people but Walmart kills people. I'm all confused up.

8. Times are tough all over.

Poor lady, probably needed the money saved from that coupon to buy porn or bullets or even to give to her pedophile priest.

9. Yay Amurika!

[NV Whino]

10. Stand your coupon!

13. Does the NRA member magazine have a centerfold?

Because this is a potential twofer.

14. 2nd amendment does not apply on private property, only against government nt
