The usual, one of the growing number of media worthy nut jobs.

I would not have posted but what caught my eye, and hence the reason for the post is the picture of said lawmaker and it looks as though it is the official photo, the one taken on maybe the first day of office, but, well, just take a look.

Lawmaker Gives Unsettling Explanation For How She Accidentally Fired Gun In Her Office

A Kentucky state lawmaker accidentally fired her handgun in her legislative office Tuesday.

State Representative Leslie Combs, a Democrat, was unloading her gun in her Capitol Annex office when it went off. Fellow state Rep. Jeff Greer was also in her office at the time, but no one was hurt in the incident.

"I'm a gun owner," Combs said Wednesday, according to the Courier-Journal. "It happens."

“I was purposely disarming it to put it up because I didn't like it and I didn’t want to use it any more," she continued. "I had had it in my purse I carry usually, and I thought I'm going to put that sucker away."
