7. Yup. I bet he got the idea from a Denver incident in February.

The dude is no angel. As the article also notes:

Kirk had been arrested once before for careless driving, and driving under the influence, in 2000. In 1993, he was charged with assault in Texas but the charge was dropped. Police had never been called to the home before.

Since legalization of the drug there has been controversy in Colorado over labelling of candy and chocolates that contain cannabis. Some have been found to be weaker than advertised, but others have been stronger.

Last month, Levy Thamba, a Congolese engineering student, jumped to his death from a fourth-floor hotel balcony in Denver after eating cannabis-infused biscuits.

And regardless, if there wasn't a gun in the house, she would have been fine. Seems this story is missing the point about what was the key danger in that house.
