Reply #2: I confess more stupidity [View All]

When I read the story yesterday, the bit about how the boy "fired a gun through his window" ... I thought he'd shot the gun through the window, i.e. through the glass. Which would have made it pretty obvious where the shot had come from ...

And I vaguely figured that the gun had been "recovered" from a sewer or someplace, where the kid had run and dumped it, and that was why there'd been a problem with the proof.

I guess RoeBear is right; stories in the news aren't always what they appear to be. Particularly when seen, uh, through my glasses. ;)

Now I see that this story is an example of the value of concealed carry permits. If only that letter carrier had been properly armed, eh?
