A state lawmaker known for championing the rights of gun-owners pointed a loaded firearm at the chest of a reporter during a recent interview at the Capitol.
Republican Sen. Lori Klein was showing off her raspberry-pink handgun when she aimed it at a journalist who was interviewing her in the lounge just outside the Senate chambers.
According to the story that was published Sunday in the Arizona Republic, Klein's .380 Ruger was loaded and did not have a safety to keep the gun from going off.
But Klein told the reporter, Richard Ruelas, that he didn't need to worry because, "I just didn't have my hand on the trigger."

What an idiot. There are safe ways to produce and show a weapon.

It's funny - most people learn before they're 10 the basics of firearm safety... i don't know which is worse - that she was inept enough to not realize that was stupid - or that she was crazy enough to point a loaded pistol at a living human being (which is a crime in most states - dunno about AZ)

This lady is a true re-tard. There are some dandy state legislators around, but my favorite kook by far is Texas's Representative Riddle, AKA the Terror Anchor Baby Lady.

She keeps that crap up and somebody is going to take her little pink pistol and use it to knock her teeth in.

Finger on the trigger or not, loaded or not, I'd think just about anyone would practically shit themselves having a gun pointed at them...especially if you don't know if it's loaded or not.

More of this needs to happen to ILLEGAL citizens in this country, enforce the laws and send them back to where they came from and let them come here LEGALLY.

The response was to the whitewashing of the entire Republican party, not the reprehensible actions of ONE Republican in particular. The clear implication is that all Republicans are dirty while all Democrats are pristine. My point was that such a rash generalization is patently FALSE.

But isn't "another batshit crazy AZ Republican" redundant x4?
