Gun fires from girl's purse in Cheyenne Starbucks [View all]

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Police in Wyoming say nobody was hurt when a small gun that was inside a girl's purse fired while she was in a Cheyenne Starbucks.

The bullet went through a chair and into a wall and narrowly missed several customers.

Police say the mishap occurred while officers were at the coffee shop around 7 a.m. Monday. They found a gunshot hole in the purse and a small, Derringer-type, double-barrel .38 Special inside.

You really need to take a position on training and stick to it. PavePusher Dec 2011 #6

As long as training shows a lot of photos/videos of babies shot, innocent kids shot, suicide, etc. Hoyt Dec 2011 #7

Pro-lifer? You guys sound quite right wing too. In fact, "gun culture" is largely right wing. Hoyt Dec 2011 #28

"Gun culture" is neither wing DissedByBush Dec 2011 #30
