Yeah, That’s the First Thing You’d Want to Do

    A mother and her 10-year old were in a dressing room of an Adidas store in the mall. The boy found what he thought was a toy gun under the bench. The mother took the gun and first thing, pulled the trigger to find out if the gun was real. The gun fired a shot, which went through the wall of the dressing room. 

    I’m assuming both the mother and son concluded that the gun was real. Luckily no one was hurt. 

    Now, this happened in Georgia, which is not one of the six states in the country where a handgun must be registered, neither is there any waiting period in Georgia for purchasing a gun. In a state that is not very restrictive on gun control, I would expect the average citizen to be more familiar with gun- handling protocol. 

    That’s where the report ended, leaving several questions; how did the people in the next dressing room feel about a slug coming through the wall? And, did that woman learn anything about gun handling? 

 Okay, What Should I Do This Time? 

    In the state of New York there is a young man who has had his driver’s license suspended 81 times. He is only 21 years old. So we can’t say this young man hasn’t been busy. At 21 he’s been driving for let’s say 4.5 years. That means he’s had his license suspended every 20 days. 

    Now a suspension can be triggered by the failure to pay a fine, or a failure to appear to answer charges. We don’t know what caused this young man’s suspensions. But every 20 days? Give me a break! This alone could keep a person busy. 

    He has now been arrested again, and what will happen to him we don’t know. If he was going for a Guinness record, he just may have succeeded.
