We All Scream for Ice Cream

[craigdawg]

I don't know what's funnier, the headline, or the quote by the policeman at the end.

We All Scream for Ice Cream
OKLAHOMA CITY (Reuters) - An Oklahoma ice cream man opened fire on a customer after a summer ice cream sale turned sour, police said on Tuesday.
...
"It is not a normal or legal thing, anywhere in the country to carry a handgun without a permit while selling ice cream," said Sgt. Eric Holtzclaw, a spokesman with the Enid Police Department.

Permit to carry a handgun while selling ice cream? I'm so getting one!

I dunno, I personally think the headline should have been "The Bad Humor Man."

i guess she didnt believe him when he said he didnt have any rocky road left

That man should have attended some education about the handling of a gun. It was just stupid to shoot a gun at a person unless it was life or death situation. I didn't see any reason for his action.

So the problem is the lack of permission to carry the gun, not the lack of common sense of how to handle it?

Apparently.

Is this a US thing, a state thing, or a stupid law issue?

People in the US equate their freedom with their right to have a gun.

you know how people get when there's ice cream around. It's like they have to be beaten away with a stick....or a gun...same difference.
