Judy's Got a Gun

OMG! Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers once owned.....a handgun!

Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers, who once owned a .45-caliber revolver, is not licensed to carry a concealed handgun in Texas. State officials refused Monday to reveal whether she has ever been licensed.

Miers' brother gave her the Smith & Wesson handgun when he was worried about her living alone in Dallas. Judge Nathan Hecht of the Texas Supreme Court, a longtime friend of Miers', has said she kept the gun for a long time.

The horror! She owned a handgun without a concealed carry permit, which is apparently perfectly legal in Texas. (As it is in Arkansas as long as you don't, you know, carry it concealed. Duh.) Hells bells people, if I lived by myself in Dallas I'd own a .45 too....maybe 2.....and a shotgun for backup.

This whole thing is rapidly devolving from the theater of the absurd into the 'she's a witch' scene from Monty Python's Holy Grail.

Careful there. Keep in mind that in the Python bit, she WAS a witch.
