You are correct - It's No joking matter. But the story that stuff like that was stored in a warehouse in a population center begs the Obvious question - How could Anyone be that Galactically STUPID?!
If it's a double barrel 12 gauge shotgun, that Might work better'n Shooting it. (See "questionable self-defense advice" vid above )
That said - I know petite women who are Very proficient with a shotgun. Most (Not all) prefer a softer recoiling 20 gauge over a harder kicking 12 gauge.
BTW - I've never shot anyone, shot AT anyone - nor assaulted anyone by hitting 'em on the head with a gun ...
The problem's not Guns - It's what folks Do with guns.
Back in the Day ... we hosted a couple of Japanese girls exchange students. Japan is Very restrictive regarding firearms - they'd never Seen A gun, let alone Shoot one. A buddy was a gunsmith & he'd built a semi-auto AK-47 - Perfectly legal in the U.S. BTW
Anyway - We took the girls to the range & gave 'em firearms instruction - which they thought was Waayyy Cool. One of the girls Really got into it Kinda like the nice young lady in the vid.
She had us take pics of her to show folks back in Japan Must've been a Helluva thing. I can only imagine.
Nothing Near as cool as that being wielded by the nice young lady. Currently three .22 lr target pistols. Also a 12 gauge shotgun - but son has it right now.
It's the Aboriginal influence from her Pop. Fact is, she's Sydney Top MUTT. We'll get to that shortly.
Daughter is a combination of of a few European lineages. She paired off with a guy whose lineage covers most of the rest of Europe.
I took to calling my grandkids Euro-Mutts. I then decided Mutts needed like an Advocacy Group.
So I Started M.U.T.T.s International - M.U.T.T. = Multiple Useful Talents & Traits.
I b'lieve this has come up previously on this blog & I installed Merc as Prez of the Sydney Chapter of MUTTS International. I can Do that cuz I started the whole thing. So There!
I'll be glad (and Able!) to drum it up for ya. This is me (and some others) goin' Pagan drummin' up Fire Dancers @ their Earthfest gig awhile back. ...
