Since there was no mention of charging her with illegal possession of the gun or for carrrying a concealed gun, are we to understand that she had a CCW license?A Chesterfield County mother who a judge earlier this year called a “danger to society” lost her appeal today of convictions of brandishing a gun in front of students at her daughter’s school bus stop in May.
After a two-hour trial in Chesterfield Circuit Court, Judge Harold W. Burgess Jr. convicted Shiquita D. Reed, 33, of two counts of brandishing a gun in front of two students while shouting profanity.
The judge then sentenced Reed, who authorities said had a history of disturbing, anti-social behavior, to two years in jail but suspended one year. He also confiscated her .40-caliber semiautomatic pistol, banned her from possessing a gun for five years and ordered her to be evaluated for mental health treatment.
We've been told before that criminals don't use holsters, so I guess this is another case of a concealed carry person going bad, or I guess we could say this is a case of a bad character who was allowed to own a gun and carry it legally.The students testified that after one of the students said, “Oh my gosh, she’s got a gun,” Reed immediately launched into a profanity-laden tirade, saying she had the right to carry the gun and threatened to beat up the girl who spoke out about the weapon. They said Reed slightly pulled up the gun but didn’t remove it from the holster.
What's your opinion?
What do you think about that five-year loss of gun rights? After multiple violent offenses and now a gun charge to boot, should this person ever be allowed to own a gun? You know my answer. She should have lost her Constitutional, god-given, natural human gun rights immediately after the first assault and battery conviction.

The judge erred.
ReplyDeleteHe should have required an immediate mental health evaluation, because if she failed it - which seems likely - she would have been disqualified from gun ownership EVER.
The judge should have also REQUIRED the findings of her mental health evaluation to be reported to the NCIS, or alternativey, if this is a felony - which it might or might not be, given the length of the sentence, he should have required THAT be reported to the NCIS as well.
None of this five year crap.
And as to being a mother? If this dumb woman is behaving this way.....how safely do you think guns are stored in THAT home, safe from children?
