I posted the other day about the representative who pointed her gun at a reporter. Her version of the story is different
During the interview, she didn’t whip out her gun to show it off. The reporter specifically asked to see it. He then wanted her to demonstrate the Crimson Trace laser. Senator Kline complied, pointing the gun toward a wall and activating the laser. The reporter then approached her, momentarily getting himself between the gun and the wall. The Senator said that as soon as she realized the laser was on his chest, she immediately lowered it. She also made a point of saying that she doesn’t know whether or not Ruelas got in front of the gun intentionally or not.

Now, this is something I’m actually happy to hear
Klein went on to say that there’s no excuse for allowing the gun to laser the reporter. She knows she was wrong and reiterated that at no time was her finger on the trigger. There wasn’t a round in the chamber. And while all that may be true, she fully realizes that she was responsible for where the gun was pointing.
Emphasis mine. Admitting that regardless of the situation she was at fault is a very responsible position. As gun owners, you are responsible not just for your own safety, but for each and every bullet that leaves your pistol. At least the Senator has the good graces to understand that her responsibility was just that… Hers.
