Thank god they stopped her

[Deedee]

I have just read this story and shivered when i thought about what could have happened.

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Security at Walt Disney World discovered a loaded semi-automatic handgun during a routine safety check at the theme park on Sunday. They said the weapon belonged to Mary Ann Richardson, 63 of Pennsylvania.

Richardson was trying to enter Walt Disney World with her family. She told security that she traveled with the handgun and forgot it was inside her purse. Along with the loaded 32 caliber semi-automatic handgun, security also found a pair of scissors and a locked blade knife in the purse.

Walt Disney World Security notified the Orange County Sheriff’s Office. Deputies took Richardson into custody and charged her with possession of a concealed weapon. She is held in the Orange County Jail on a $2,000 bond.
