And she's charged with a crime for firing a firearm in the city of Milwaukee. Good! What does that have to do with the rest of us logables?

We do not use deadly force to settle arguments. There was neither a threat to her life nor a threat of serious bodily harm.

The lady was not a responsible gun owner.

According to the online court records, they're accusing her of being drunk in possession of a firearm and ccw.

I'm curious to know how they get the ccw. If she was on her own property that's impossible. All that's said in the article(s) is that she fired into the air once during an argument.
ETA: Of course, this is in Milwaukee... they'll throw everything they can at someone.

At least this media outlet gives reasonably correct information:
Clarke aired a radio ad last week telling Milwaukee-area residents not to count on a rapid police response to 911 calls and instead to take a gun safety course.
