No, bad on her. It doesn't take a genius to see through her "I saw wild animals" excuse.

Yes, I should have read the article first, but it barely changes anything.

I don't really buy that if you showed up a few minutes earlier you would see coyotes, but it could be true.

Is she not self-aware enough to see that approaching a bus with a gun to discuss an unpleasant issue is not the wisest course of action? If she is that dense, perhaps she shouldn't have fire arms.

Obviously the whole scene was note worthy enough for someone to feel it should be filmed.

We live in a country where every new gun massacre is cheered because it means gun manufacturers and sellers make more money. Dead children are irrelevant in the face of increased profits.

Too bad there isn't a way to ensure that the gun nuts take out only each other, and leave the civilized people alone

This world has become absolutely bonkers ! I can guarantee you that if I stood at a bus stop , with kids there, with a gun, I would not be told that is ok somehow. Those people must live in Deliverance.

Nothing surprises me any more.

Unloaded guns are the lest useful items in existence. Her cockamamie story is that she needed it to defend herself against coyotes. Was she going to club them?

And then we wonder where kids learn to solve their problems with violence escalating up to firearms...
A bit of an overkill, but I doubt she wanted to shoot anyone, probably just scare the living **** out out them.

Evidently what she did was not against the law, in fact many states allow open carry without a license including Pa. where I live. Right or wrong I doubt her son will be bullied again.

Brings a tool of harm to the scene, then claims she meant no harm. So why bring it in the first place you crazy nut? She should have all her guns taken for proving she's unstable.

And when the bluff is called, then what? She's sort of run out of escalation options, hasn't she?

Nothing like firearms to amplify the effect of a bad decision.
