Mom pulls gun on Cleveland barber when son's haircut takes too long

The mother of a 7-year-old boy getting his haircut pulled a gun on the barber because she thought it was taking too long, according to a police report.

Investigators are still trying to identify the woman involved in the April 14 incident at the Allstate Barber College on Lorain Avenue near West 26th Street in Ohio City.

The woman complained several times before a manager came over to talk to the barber. The woman walked up and asked if he had something to say to her, according to a police report.

The woman pulled a handgun from her purse and pointed it at the barber, the report says.

"I got two clips. I'll pop you," she said, according to the report.

2. The NRA was right: We are living in a more polite society, what with all these guns and everything.

It's sad that threatening to murder someone is an every day occurrence now. I would like to think that we're better than this, but then I'm reminded of who our current president is.

7. I haven't done the math, but if she popped him, I think that would add at least

five, ten, minutes to the whole process. Sometimes something sounds like a good idea on the surface, but the numbers will get you every time.

Trainees naturally have to take longer to make sure they do it right.
