A witness told KCEN's sister station 12News that a woman was in the waiting room of a medical office. When she reached into her purse to pull out some paperwork, a gun fell out of her purse causing it to discharge. The round went through a wall and hit another patient in the hip.

(23,946 posts)4. 300 million guns...they have to be somewhere all the time, ready willing and able to do what they
were meant to do, fresh from the gun factory....kill and maim and terrorize.
The wannabe warriors of the carry concealed crowd are pathetic and pitiful at the same time.....what perpetual fear these poor pitiful souls must be living with....it can not be good for anyone's health.
