We're the Only Ones Plastered Enough

A Fort Smith police officer was arrested Tuesday after he allegedly fired shots into the wall of his Sequoyah County home and pointed a gun at deputies and a child. He was placed on administrative leave. [More]

I can't tell you how many times I've gotten intoxicated and done the same thing. Probably because I never have.

And Sweetie sounds like quite the prize herself:

“It was determined that both parties fired the weapon inside the residence while the children were in the house,” Lockhart said.

Imagine how much more endangered those children would have been if people of unproven temperance, judgment, trustworthiness and training like you or I had unfettered access to guns.  That must be why guys like Naaman here have been authorized by law to carry in "gun free zones," while we mundanes just have to take our chances.

UPDATE: Oh look, there's more.

He held a gun to a five-year-old's head? Well then I'd expect nothing less than administrative leave with pay!
