I'm curious what weapon it is.

LAND O' LAKES, Fla. — A man was shot inside a Land O' Lakes Publix on Sunday when a gun inside a purse unexpectedly fired.
Pasco County deputies say Vernon Messier, 69, was shot in the shin when his wife's purse fell from the checkout counter to the floor.
The impact caused a 2-shot pistol inside Lillian Messier's purse to fire. She is a Concealed Carry Permit holder, according to investigators.
It happened at the Publix on Collier Parkway and State Road 54 in Land O' Lakes, according to the sheriff's office.
Vernon was taken to the hospital to be treated.
Deputies say surveillance video captured the incident but are not releasing the video.
No criminal charges are expected to be filed.

Everybody's got a plan until they get hit.

Predictions:
1) No holster/training.
2) She's never fired the gun.
3) He calls her "maw".

Back in the 90's a friend's family owned a grocery store near Westchester. One day a lady got robbed in the parking lot by couple of teens and the store got sued. The insurance company settled with the lady's attorney after couple months. Evidently insurance companies prefers to settle for few thousand dollars as it's cheaper than going to court. Obviously attorneys all know this so they sue for an amount insurance company will accept and settle.
