Christian lawyer says she’s taking Glock to Target ladies’ room: ‘It identifies as my bodyguard’

http://www.rawstory.com/2016/04/christian-lawyer-says-shes-taking-glock-to-target-ladies-room-it-identifies-as-my-bodyguard/
snip:
The president of theocratic law group The Liberty Council announced on the social medium Twitter that she plans to carry a gun with her to the women’s restroom at Target stores so that she can shoot anyone she thinks is transgender.

Blogger Joe My God wrote on Monday, “Liberty Counsel president Anita Staver declared Friday that she will be taking her Glock .45 handgun to Target as protection against assaults by transgender patrons.”

Not even as a former infantryman did I ever hear, "drop your socks and grab your Glocks." What a wingnut.

something terrible has happened. Who hires a lawyer these days, employer or client, without googling his or her name? Or, for that manner, investigates ethics or other charges?

Target has a no-guns policy in their stores.

I'd love to see her arrested and carted off to jail.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]I'm guessing, though, that she's just blowing smoke and doesn't even shop at Target.

Let's wait and see how many really stupid people actually do what she claims she'll do... and hope they don't actually hurt anyone but do get put away!

has to be carried out by individual store managers in accordance with posting signs appropriate to each state.

Whether she'll try to test that in Texas--since they live in Florida--remains to be seen. I suspect if she wants to
make an issue, she'll do it in Florida.

Being transgender, even in a restroom, is not a crime. Shooting someone you THINK is, is.

And there have been no assaults.

Good luck with that as your defense. I think she is an a$$hole, what can I do to her?

Do they give those degrees away just for the asking?

Run, do not walk, to the nearest exit. Use an emergency exit if you have to. Immediately call 9-1-1 and tell them there is an armed person inside.

You have no idea what that person plans to do. Just this last weekend, there were numerous random shootings -- one in a church, another at a campaign event.

Don't take any chances.

Disabled (such as severely autistic) teenage son with her in the bathroom? Shoot first and ask questions later? Say, "I'm sorry," for killing a defenseless disabled man?
