I don't care for overly aggresssive reporters either; but assaulting them with a deadly weapon (yes, deadly to a 120# woman) goes far beyond the pale! If the big woman didn't want to talk to the reporter, all she had to do was say "NO" and slam the door in her face.
If it were you or I and we took a shot at her with a Ruger LCP (another deadly weapon) in the public street...we wouldn't be out of jail this week ! ...And rightly so..
