I don't want to hear another word about "responsible Alaska gun culture." Not another damn word. My husband & daughter were in a coffee shop today in Soldotna. Elderly man had out a gun, showing it to his friends under the table, saying it wasn't loaded. Then it went off.
He shot the floor, while sitting no more than 3 feet from my daughter. One of his friends was bleeding from floor shrapnel. Thank all I hold sacred that gun was pointed away from my girl! She ended up with pulverized-floor dust on her computer. My husband couldn't hear.
