He was treated for minor injuries and released. Police declined to release the family's identity.<br><br>The mother told police she doesn't keep firearms in her home.

I'm suprised the father didn't flee too, because I can't imagine the mother being too happy with him either. <br><br><br><br>

I'm loading up like there's no tomorrow. I have a room full of these babies and am ready to use them any time, any where<br><br><br>

You could always move back to NYC where you get your face smashed in for accidentally bumping into someone.<br><br>

I figure that since there are millions of people in the world, at any given moment someone somewhere is doing something very very stupid.<br>It might be putting a baby on top of the car and forgetting about him as you drive off<br>Or hiding a gun in the stove<br>Or forgetting to lower the landing gear<br>Or jumping into a lion's den to teach the lions religion <br>Or not declaring income tax on 1.3 million dollars<br>Or...<br><br>Each day I read "oddly enough" type of news and there are some beauties in the world.<br><br>

Don't forget Lowell Timmers, 54, of Cedar Springs, Michigan, who decided to drive up to the Secret Service guard shack at the White House and make threats. <br><br>What honestly goes through someone's mind when they do something that stupid?<br><br>Story<br><br>

No thanks. Been there, done that.<br><br>

Jeez, and I got a stern look when I ran around with a cap gun!<br><br><br><br>[color:red]Go, Team Venture!<br></font color=red>
