This is great! I hope when people read this they realize that the author is intentionally doing the minimum required to own a gun. Of course you can take a class, learn about the mechanics of the gun, how to use it and how to hold it, you know... how to be responsible. But that is not a requirement. Just about any idiot can purchase and carry a gun.

Most fascinating is that the cop was cool with an armed person approaching them at a site where they have someone else pulled over. -Only a woman could get away with this. If I attempted it, it wouldn't be received as gleefully. That's just my guess.

I'm interested to see where this experiment leads. I wouldn't be surprised if some of her preconceived notions change.
