    Please tell me this reporter got fired after this article. As well as whoever okayed it to be published. “Glock 22 .40 caliber Smith & Wesson”? Is that a joke?

    So a gun owner assaults someone and the entire subject becomes the gun and ammo? Don’t share this trash propaganda…He didnt even have the gun on him at the time of his arrest. This headline is so misleading and is just for attention. And if his gun was in his car, his vehicle is apart of the castle doctrine. His arrest charges didn’t have anything to do with a gun. Your one sided anti-gun propaganda piece represents what is wrong with journalism today. Pushing your own/others agenda, and embellishing the truth to sensationalize a political narrative. That’s why I don’t read “news” anymore….except this little doosey caught my eye. Shame on you for your extremely narrow and very one sided POV conveyed too readers through your print….
