Honestly, liberals don’t know what they’re doing, what with trying to limit citizens’ access to concealed weapons permits and trying to take away guns from people who obviously shouldn’t own them.
This Florida woman, however, knows what’s up. Mary Frances Alday, 61, was attempting to use an internet coupon to take a dollar off of her purchase at Walmart, as is her right as an American consumer. But a fascist assisstant manager at Walmart, ignoring the rights of the people, told her that the company has a policy of rejecting the internet coupons of hard-working, blue-collar Americans.
As you might understand, this agitated Ms. Alday, who (after what was surely a misunderstanding involving supposedly-heard curse words and accidental bumping with a shopping cart) was forcibly removed from the store for attempting to assert her rights. So she took them into her own hands.
From the Smoking Gun, reporting from a Wakulla County Sheriff’s Office report:
As several Walmart employees watched from the store’s entrance, Alday appeared outside her car “waving the gun in the holster,” reported investigators. Alday then removed the weapon—a loaded Smith & Wesson .38 Special—from the holster and pointed it “at all the store employees and stated ‘I have something for Y’all.’” The Walmart workers “retreated back inside the building due to being in fear for their lives.”
Alday, who fled the Walmart parking lot in a 2011 Ford Escape, was subsequently pulled over by a sheriff’s deputy who asked if there was a firearm in the SUV. “Yes, I have a concealed weapons permit, and you are not taking my gun.” Asked about the gun’s location, Alday replied, “You’re not taking my gun.”
Alday twice refused the deputy’s request to exit the auto, and was tasered when she “reached over the console for something in the passenger seat.” Alday was then dragged from the car and handcuffed. The gun was found in the vehicle’s center console.
For the crime of being an American hero, fighting for the right to use a coupon worth one dollar (sadly devalued thanks to the terrible decisions of this fascist government — THANKS, OBAMA), Alday was charged with four counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and a count of battery.
This, of course, strikes me as a serious miscarriage of justice. I mean, if the Second Amendment isn’t intended for us to defend our rights against massive organizations that are only looking to make a buck off of good, hard-working Americans, what’s the point?

Sigmund Freud said, “A FEAR OF WEAPONS IS A SIGN OF RETARDED SEXUAL AND EMONTIONAL MATURITY.”
Right? Man, those Walmart employees must be so, uh, “retarded.” I mean, what kind of person runs in fear when a woman, aggrieved over the extra one dollar she’d be spending when a coupon isn’t accepted, waves a gun in his or her face? Honestly, cowards, the whole lot of them!
Death to Walmart
You wrote story. I think you meant store. Honestly, how am I supposed to yet already such a serious document seriously when you can’t even use the right words. YOUR A TERRIBLE JOURNALIST.
Yes YOUR are.
Nice…a redneck geezer/CCP holder commits a crime and the Weakly turns it into a pseudo-constitutional issue in order to peddle their viewpoint. I trust you’ll display the same journalistic vigilance when police and/or other governmental employees do the same?
Whitney Fikes complains that the writer “can’t even use the right words.” Here’s Whitney’s comment: “You wrote story (needs quotation marks around “story” since it is a quoted reference.) I think you meant store. (Again, use quotation marks around the quoted word.) Honestly, how am I supposed to yet(?) already(?) (“yet already?” what does “yet already” mean? Did you mean to say “take such a serious document seriously?”) such a serious document (It’s an article or story, not a document.) seriously when you can’t even use the right words. YOUR (YOU’RE) A TERRIBLE JOURNALIST.
Ahh…a great morning giggle. Love reading so-called bloggers’ egos battle it out. Makes for terrific a.m. fodder.
This just proves that w/m is populated by fools and idiots.
The mentality of Mary Frances Alday cracks me up. She turned $1 into a hell of a lot more plus added in a whole bunch of inconvenience. This just proves that taking 10 deep breaths can save you time, money & headaches; I would think that at 61 years old she would have this figured out. At least she makes a good argument for those who want stricter firearm laws, anyone who truly believes that these laws shouldn’t be stricter after hearing this story is not the kind of person who should be allowed to have anything to do with firearms. PERIOD!
Interesting. I suspect that if she had been black, the cops probably wouldn’t have used a taser…
As for the Ford Escape — you can’t make up sh*t like that… 🙂
Methinks, Ms Alday has a few issues that could use some attention.
Charles Cundiff, you are wrong. Stop posting fiction!
A fear of weapon is a sign of retarded sexual and emotional maturity.
This is not a statement that appears in any translation of any of Freud’s works. It is a paraphrase of a statement from the essay “Guns, Murders, and the Constitution” (February 1990) by Don B. Kates, Jr.
Is this article a joke? Hows about the right of a store not to accept digital coupons?
