I'm thrilled, for the most part, that we live in a state that allows us all to carry a gun if we choose.

I know it is not liked by all of God's children around this great country of ours.

Most of us are ok with that fact. However, it does mean that you need to know what you are doing with a loaded weapon.

 

You don't need to handle a gun if you are a moron. Keep morons away from the guns.

Remember that football player who shot himself years ago in a bar in NYC?

Plaxico Burress. He was a great player but he did not need a gun.

Alabama folks and guns haven't always been a good couple.

Like the lady who thought her door-to-door salesman was actually a hitman.

Police in Opelika are saying that a TJ Maxx customer shot herself in the foot while in the store.  The woman, 55, was shopping at the Tiger Town shopping center.

This story is developing and we will continue to bring you updates.
