I saw a recent news article about a woman who pulled a gun on another woman in a Walmart store due to the fact that they had been fighting over the last notebook that was on the shelf that day. Apparently, the woman's daughters and a few other people were involved in the scuffle as well.
It's a shame when back-to-school shopping turns into the wild wild west or an episode of Game of Thrones. That was a dangerously irresponsible thing for that woman to do, and a notebook is a dumb thing for anyone to get involved in a dispute over.
Read that too... sounds like a self-defense issue as well....

Back-to-school shopping can be stressful but shoppers at a Walmart in Michigan saw that stress take a violent turn after an argument over a notebook ended with a gun being drawn. It all happened on Monday afternoon as two pairs of women were shopping in the town of Novi, near Detroit. One of them reached for the last notebook on a shelf as did another woman. That invariably led to arguments about who was the rightful owner of that precious notebook and some pushing and shoving ensued. When two women, one aged 46 and the other 32, moved on to hair pulling, the mother of the 20-year-old who was involved in the altercation pulled out a loaded gun.

“She pulled out her firearm and tells them to stop attacking her daughter while pointing the gun at them,” Novi Police Detective Scott Baetens said. “It was a senseless act of violence all the way around.” Police are now working with prosecutors to try to determine whether the woman’s actions could be classified as self-defense. She had a valid concealed gun license.-slate
