Keep your blood pressure medicine handy as you read this. USA Today doesn’t want to hear about defensive gun use. They made up details to avoid reporting about it in a story.
The View From North Central Idaho
Ramblings on explosives, guns, politics, and sex by a redneck Idaho farm boy who became a software engineer living near Seattle.
But then they have no problem with the following headline:

Given the following quote from the article:
“Brandon Meriweather, the Hurricanes’ leading tackler last season, returned gunfire. Police said Meriweather used his gun legally because he has a permit for the gun.”
I think I would have written a very different headline. Something like “Hurricane’s leading tackler defends teammate with legally owned firearm”.
