The shooter was grudgingly released, and the case will be reviewed for possible charges against him. ‘Cause that’s how they roll.

Add umbrellas to the ever growing list of things not to bring to a gun fight. I can’t believe I just typed that, yet there it is.
Thanks, Gun Bunny.

Bambi should stick with pom-poms.
Just because you open an umbrella so I can’t see you, doesn’t mean I can’t shoot you.
Thus demonstrating the difference between “concealment” and “cover”.
Thx, ‘Ed, for the object lesson.

Nothing gooder than a “Good Neighbor” that makes his boolit pierce a deserving dirtbag. Wonder if the dirtbag gave a piercing scream when the boolit made contact? Let’s be frank about when a boolit does pierce a dirtbag. A Presidential pardon for the shooter.
The umbrella didn’t stop the homeowner from raining on the nutjob’s parade.
I will resist til my last drop of blood.
My Mossy 88 is a real Maverick and will put any bad guy that comes into the danger zone on ice, man. I’ll never lose that lovin’ feelin’ for it and give it a goose on a daily basis.
My my my, Ms Sister Golden Hair Thang may be holding the plasticized abominations, but it would be no surprise that the blouse bunnies are real. Them boots were made for slogging.
It’s shocking that someone can just walk into Home Depot and purchase a patio umbrella with no background check.
In Texas, a mossy-horned longhorn steer was not to be taken lightly.
A Mossy-burg of any flavor is, likewise, not to be taken lightly.
Enforcing a restraining order with a lead punctuation mark will certainly get the point across.
Looking forward to AW1Ed’s forthcoming book Things Not To Bring To a Gunfight, with Illustrations From Real Life.
LOL!
