The above link is to a 2:03 long video of the lady who got shot, including her name
and photos of her and her husband.

The family's comments are not rabidly anti-gun, but stress the use of carrying a
gun with the safety engaged.

Prayers are needed for this lady.

At over $600, price is clearly not a good reason either.
My thoughts exactly. Who in their right mind would have a CHL and then
carry a 2 shot gun? Heck, many of us would not feel adequately covered
by carrying a 5 shot revolver alone.

The man who caused this ND doesn't seem to have made a very informed
set of choices for being 66 years old:
1. Had a gun, but it wasn't much of a gun.
2. Too naive/uninformed to know that he should have it in a pocket holster.
3. Negligent in retaining the handgun in the pocket of his jacket.
Sheesh.

The lady who was shot is 71 years old - not the best age to have to undergo
invasive surgery. Prayers to her that she can regain her former level of
good health.
