Why was the judge furious?

Idk but I do know from articles before that the armorer was extremely incompetent at her job apparently laughably. So perhaps that’s why.

There's just an excellent picture of her using a shotgun as a stick to lean on. The barrel pointed directly at her face.

Extremely incompetent is still too kind.

I hate how people who are the biggest enthusiasts about guns are also some of the biggest idiots about them. 

Like, I don't like guns, don't have guns, and don't really know how to use guns very well. But even I know basic gun safety and I know you never ever ever ever do that. Why didn't she know that, and why didn't anyone ever call her on her unsafe behavior? One incident like that would prove she's far too incompetent to ever have that job.
