In Tennessee, could she get into legal trouble for this?

A flasher allegedly got more than he bargained for when he approached a woman at a lake in Washington state this week: a Ruger .380 pointing back at him.
“I put the magazine in my gun. I cocked it,” [url="http://tdn.com/news/local/woman-pulls-gun-on-man-who-exposed-himself-at-lake/article_66bab166-2f9a-11e2-9af1-0019bb2963f4.html"]the woman told The Daily News online[/url]. “I said, ‘You need to leave or I’ll shoot you. I’m going to blow your brains out.’”

No. Generally sex offenders are known to rape people. If some dude exposes himself to my wife and makes any motion towards her, she will shoot him. Good luck finding a DA and 12 people that would disagree with that course of action.

This is the best part:

I would say that he was more scared of the owner than a 15" tall play dog.

While it doesn’t rise to the level of the use of deadly force; it rises to the level to justify the threat of deadly force.

Could she be arrested in Tennessee for aggravated assault? Of course she could; you can be arrested for anything. But I doubt she would be. To be convicted a jury would need to believe that a man masturbating in front of a woman alone in a secluded location is not a threat.

Yeah, what is up with NOT carrying the mag inserted?
Is that a carry law in Washington?

She needs to keep the gun loaded.

If it was in her purse and her child was with her, she probably didn't want to risk it getting a hold of something with a round chambered.

Flasher has mental issues, and boy, did he almost buy it due to them. I hope he gets the help he needs.

Good for her. I doubt he will want to flash again.

In Tennessee, she would probably be O.K., as long as she carried a permit. Other states, she might get into trouble.
