re: #499 Targetpractice

Theoretically plausible, but again, considering testimony that she was an avid gun collector and had been teaching him to shoot and handle guns for years, I get the feeling that he didn’t want to go through the trouble of acquiring her stash. Probably figured she’d know something was up if he was gathering up a handful of guns and wanted to go unnoticed until he started pulling the trigger.

But seemingly his 1st victim was her
That, with trying to get a gun on his own, leads me to believe he may have had an argument/ altercation with her to get her guns
As to considering testimony that she was an avid gun collector and had been teaching him to shoot and handle guns for years, our best friends are avid collectors who have taught all their children (5,,, 2 girls, 3 boys) to shoot and handle guns

All the guns are locked in safes in the house
