Ever since Taurus started marketing this silly gun, I’ve been saying something like this would happen:
The gun, a model known as “The Judge,” was loaded with bird shot, and Davis took aim at her husband and emptied all five of the weapon’s chambers as he fled through the yard, Bonnett said. He was hit in the upper and lower back by two blasts before escaping, Bonnett said.
Connie Davis shot her husband after he admitted to a prior affair. Full stop.
It doesn’t matter that the loads were likely insufficient for causing serious bodily harm. Ms. Davis leveled a deadly weapon at another human being and pulled the trigger. That’s the salient fact, and it illustrates my problem with the Taurus Judge.
