An Oklahoma man who was doing target practice in his backyard on Christmas is believed to have shot and killed an elderly woman a few blocks from his home, authorities said.

Cody Wayne Adams, 33, has been charged with first-degree manslaughter in connection with the deadly shooting, court filings show.

The victim was on a covered front porch with family members at a residence in Comanche when she was shot Thursday afternoon, according to the probable cause affidavit. She was holding a baby in her left arm while seated on a love seat when she was struck in her right upper arm, according to the affidavit. The bullet then entered her chest cavity, it said.

      Oh there are plenty of lefty gun-brains, preparing for either the revolution or wanting to protect against a fascist government.

      They’re all gravely mistaken when they think that gun ownership does anything except increasing statistics for gun deaths and police shootings.

        Im going to provide a brilliant revelation for you. It’s okay to have contingency plans and to try to mitigate risk. The fascist government is here. The desire to protect yourself from it may manifest itself in many forms depending on where you are from and how you were raised. Your thoughts on your civic duty, your duty to your family and community, and your personal safety may just be worth looking into! Now that the authoritarians are in charge you actually think that preparing for that event was a bad idea? Still? Can we check back in on this sentiment in another year please. lol, lmao even.
