    A TRUE STORY FROM..."THE  HOUSTON  HERALD NEWSPAPER"

                         IN  HOUSTON ,  TEXAS

                         MARCH 5th, 2009

                         ~

                          Last Thursday Night Around Midnight,

                         A Woman From  Houston ,  Texas  Was Arrested,

                         Jailed, And Charged With Manslaughter

                         For Shooting A Man 6 Times In The Back

                          As He Was Running Away With Her Purse.

                         ~

                         The Following Monday Morning,

                         The Woman Was Called In Front Of The

                         Arraignment Judge, Sworn In,

                         And Asked To Explain Her Actions.

                         ~

                         The Woman Replied,

                         "I Was Standing At The Corner Bus Stop

                         For About 15 Minutes, Waiting For The

                          Bus To Take Me Home After Work.

                         I Am A Waitress At A Local Cafe...

                         ~

                         I Was There Alone,

                         So I Had My Right Hand On My Pistol,

                          That Was In My Purse, That Was Hung

                          Over My Left Shoulder.

                         ~

                          All Of A Sudden I Was Being

                         Spun Around Hard To My Left.

                         As I Caught My Balance, I Saw A Man

                         Running Away From Me With My Purse.

                         ~

                         I Looked Down At My Right Hand And I Saw

                          That My Fingers Were Wrapped Tightly

                          Around My Pistol.

                         The Next Thing I Remember Is Saying Out Loud,

                          "No Way Punk! Your Not Stealing My

                         Pay Check And Tips."

                         ~

                         I Raised My Right Hand, Pointed My Pistol

                         At The Man Running Away From Me With My Purse,

                         And Squeezed The Trigger Of My Pistol 6 Times!

                         ~

                         When Asked By The Arraignment Judge,

                         "Why Did You Shoot The Man 6 Times?

                         ~

                         The Woman Replied Under Oath,

                          "Because, When I Pulled The Trigger Of

                         My Pistol The 7th Time, It Only Went Click."

                         ~

                         The Woman Was Acquitted Of All Charges.

                         And She Was Back At Work,

                         At The Cafe, The Next Day!

                                       Now that's  Gun Control.....
