Taking 'trick or treating' seriously!

"Just hand over the candy lady!"

A 10-year-old trick-or-treater in the US pulled a handgun on a woman who joked that she'd steal his Halloween candy.

The Augusta Chronicle in South Carolina reported today a 28-year-old woman told authorities she recognised some youngsters Monday evening and she joked she'd take their candy.

Aiken Public Safety Lieutenant David Turno says a 10-year-old in the group said "no" and pointed the handgun at her.

Turno says the gun wasn't loaded but the boy had a clip of ammunition. He was taken to the police station and was turned over to his parents.

Turno said the boy's brother, who is also 10, told officials he also had a gun and both weapons were recovered by police.

Turno says the boys got them from their grandfather without his permission.

Sounds like something Mrs. H. would say.
Last night she was giving the kids all sorts of shit. But that's her sense of humor.
I never thought of pulling a gun on her, but sure feel like it some days.

I forsee Halloween turning into an arms race

 

[Mr. H.]

Every night is an arms race around here. Ends with a hug- deserved or not.
