Can someone explain what purpose it serves to swan about holding a loaded weapon, other than to freak out everyone else around you?
Maybe she's just a really liberated female!

I'm guessing she moved from Southern California to Oregon for cost of living reasons.
She also has two siblings who live in the Portland area, maybe that was why she moved. Maybe still a few hours drive, but shorter than from LA.
What a joke:
Umpqua students and staff will also have access to counselors all week, but classes were not set to start again until Oct. 12.
School board member Vanessa Becker said the goal when students return would be "working towards developing a sense of normalcy."
Clinically that is the worst thing to do. pretend like nothing happened, that it is no big deal. A week of intervention after these folks observed a human being shot point blank in the head??
It minimzes the magntude of the scars - the horrible stuff these folks experienced. Normalcy?
What better place to talk about it then talk about and aftert hat talk about it than in the setting it occured. ?
Sharing each others thought feelings , where they were what they were doing, what they then did, and share what they are experiencing on Oct 12.
Validate each others nightmares, outbursts of tears, hearing a backfire and its impact, being back on campus walking by the room etc etc moo
Perhaps one could make a case that he was a danger to himself and report it to Adult Protective Services.
Before someone else does, I'm going to ask you for a link that says a fascination with guns is not uncommon with Aspergers. I didn't see that statement in the article you linked earlier.I don't believe anyone (here) is suggesting that her statement is not relevant. The discussion was regarding whether or not she said, IN this statement, that the reason she chose to move from California to Oregon was BECAUSE Oregon is an "open carry" state. That (clearly, IMO) is NOT what she said. The word "to" (open carry) has been taken out of context and probably will continue to be taken out of context, perhaps even by MSM. That puts incorrect information out there which only causes to muddy the water. Her decision to have the guns in the home, given the circumstances, is impossible to understand, but apparently she HAD them in their home (at least some of them) in California.
I read an article on webMD (I'm sure there are others) that said a fascination with guns is not uncommon with Aspergers, yet I didn't read any warnings about such a fascination. Perhaps she didn't realize she had reason for concern.
All IMO.

That notion "makes" feel safer. The sad truth , is in most areas its only 72 hours. You all would not believe what one has to go through especialy for adults, to have someone be forced into long term placement. First no beds- that simple and sad.
Then you have to go to a judge - and judges have a real hard time "commiting" an adult. And if god forgive a family member is "againist it" forget it
Unless the person has his shirt on backwards, it talking to clouds, has urinated on self, smells, cant make a senrtance , does not know his name, or where he is .
and , if all that is happening there are no beds avail....for anything other than short term,basically they tranquilizer them into a coma , so at discharge when you ask if they feel like hurting self or antoher person , while they are drooling from the meds , they utter no poof ready for discharge ....

Mercer was in the army for around five weeks in 2008. Then the bios say he graduated from Switzer Learning Center in 2009, he would have been around age 20. Don't enlistees need a high school diploma to enlist? Maybe that's why he was discharged, but wouldn't the army check his education background before letting him join?
<modsnip> Her comment says that she moved from a non open carry state to an open carry state, but does not state that is the primary reason for the move. She goes on to say that she moved from Southern Crime-a-mania to open carry. This indicates that the primary reason for her move was due to the high crime rate where she lived compared to where she had moved to, imo.. <modsnip>
