Men with guns

I thought I’d start the New Year with a bang and print two items about men with guns.  

Item #1:  The Times News reported on Dec. 31 that a woman shot by a hunter on State Game Lands has filed a civil suit in Carbon County.  Sharon Krause of Lehighton was shot by Michael J. Harvan, also of Lehighton.  Mr. Harvan, according to the complaint, “suggested that he had mistaken the plaintiff for a coyote and that he would have shot again had the plaintiff not screamed.”

Item #2:  Last year Dane Gallion, a resident of a Seattle suburb, was worried about reports of mass shootings.  He decided to take along a handgun tucked into his waistband when he went to see the movie “13 Hours:  The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi.”  Unfortunately, Mr. Gallion accidentally shot the woman sitting in front of him.
