Mom accidentally shoots daughter after she surprises her at home
- Thread starter Saya
- Start date
Yeah. The only "accident" is that it was her daughter that got shot. She wanted to shoot whoever was there.
How on edge do you have to be to think that this is an appropriate thing? Constantly on the brink of needing a gun for even the slightest situation. Bump in the night. Better git' muh gun. Creaky sound upstairs. Better git' muh gun. Knock on the door. Better load up ol' Betsy with some .45 bees.
The second quote is from a police chief.
Doubt the family has learned anything from this, gun fellation in the US really is beyond the pale.
so was the door left unlocked or something? If you're the type to carry a gun for self-defense I'd imagine you'd at least lock your doors?
and I know the daughter forgives her mom and all but if I was her I'd start using this as leverage for the rest of my life. "hey, remember the time you blindly shot me three times".

Imagine shooting at something without properly identifying it first? That's not an accident, it's sheer stupidity, improper training, a lack of care, and attempted manslaughter.
Strip this woman of her firearm immediately.

Its a Mental Illness the American obsession with guns. Its not even about being on edge. Its Lust for the chance to shoot and kill someone. To prove that their obsession is right
Thank goodness for the Angel watching over her that night! Mind you, would have been nice if the Angel had stepped in marginally earlier and stopped her mum from shooting her in the first place, but it's all banter amirite. Rember that time you shot me mum! How we laughed.
Seriously. I really can't imagine the situation where the shot was fired there. What actually happened? How?
The picture and the girl's attitude is insane to me. Her mom shot her and here's she's like "Oh well, shit happens, luckily I've got an angel looking out for me." If my mom almost killed me, I sure as shit wouldn't be so joyful about it all.
And that "advice" from the police is insane. Good job blaming the daughter for getting shot, too.

Nothing like waking up your family to announce them you're going to have a glass of water in the middle of the night.
Not going to lie, this is even scarier.
I have never in my life thought about shooting anyone and even thinking about it makes me nauseous. Taking someone's daughter, someone's son just for the sheer thrill.
This is honestly the only scenario that matches up with the news story
welcome to america, where the right to guns is more important than the right to real, actual safety.
That'll teach the 5 year for knocking in the middle of the night when he wets the bed.
Imagine laying back too far in bed and having a shotgun fall on your face and blasting your partner away because you forgot to turn the safety on after shooting at beer cans behind your house.
"So I just ran in all excited, shouting our old family motto to let Mom know I was home unexpectedly, the one we chant at Christmas time you know 'GIMME ALL YOUR DAMN MONEY' at high volume, and of course I didn't use the key, I just kicked the door in, like we do as a family you know, as Mom always says 'KEYS ARE FOR JERKS' hahaha, what a mad family we are! And it's fiiiiine, I never bent this elbow much anyway"
I mean, consider she was raised by the person who thinks a reasonable response to hearing someone enter your home is to shoot them without even seeing who it is or saying anything. No doubt she's also been raised to believe that God is watching out for her and respecting her elders, even and especially when they're completely in the wrong. That's the only logical explanation for why you wouldn't cut all ties with your paranoid lunatic mom after getting shot by her.
Should not have to announce yourself to your own mother like they're the vengeful spirit of the household, lest you incur their wrath
Look, if your wife isn't constantly announcing her presence while she's in the house, sometimes she's going to get annihilated by a shotgun blast from your bed gun. These things happen.
If I loudly announced every time I got up to get a drink in the middle of the night my parents would have been pissed for interrupting their sleep.
It's insane to me someone would be that on edge in their own home, and to not even try and identity who it is.
