I'm sorry?

In what insane country does a mother take a gun to work?

Was she a police officer who forgot to store her weapon at work when getting changed?
Or was she just a civilian who needed a gun when going out to work just for 'protection'?

News flash!
Guns have a safety. If it is off, the gun doesn't care who is pulling the trigger, or where it is pointed.
