It needs to be specified if you discharge your weapon and a woman is involved? Because that's...a different charge than if a man is involved? What if it's a woman discharging the weapon? Still phrased like this? What a weird thing to put.
No. They are saying that he was previoualy arrested for aggravated discharge of a weapon and that the aforementioned incident involved a woman.
Would you have been happier if it had said, "Nance’s prior arrest records indicated that he was previously arrested for aggravated discharge of a weapon involving a person?" Because that sounds awkward to me.
Aggravated discharge implies involving another person so that wouldn't be said. It feels like something is being hinted at - likely domestic violence - without being explicitly said for some reason. I think that's the weirdness being commented on. If it was domestic violence why not say that? But if not that what is being hinted at?
It's probably overthinking, but this is the internet.
I think that they're saying that the person is implied, aggravated discharge of a weapon with no person involved is just target practice.
Why not just end the sentence with the word "weapon"? That's the important part.
Because shooting a gun in your front yard at nobody in particular because you're a crazy fucker is different than firing a gun in a way as to threaten a person or persons.
That's what the "aggravated" part is for. You don't get "aggravated" tacked on if another person is not involved.
Do you think most people understand that?
