Well, she's obviously trying to use this incident as an opportunity to push a gun rights agenda and minimize her own gross negligence, which could have rendered fatal results, but she's just another irresponsible dumbass with a gun, IMO.

Rep. Leslie Combs says she “accidentally discharged a firearm” in her legislative office in the Capitol Annex in Frankfort, Ky., Tuesday, in a statement obtained by CBS News’ Crimesider.
No one was injured in the incident, which was investigated by the Kentucky State Police’s legislative detail.
Combs said she followed “standard safety procedures when the accident occurred” and that police found no evidence that any portion of the round traveled outside her office.
She said she has a concealed-carry permit which she obtained several years ago.
“I strongly support our Second Amendment rights and our state’s concealed-carry law, and believe just as strongly that gun safety and education must be part of that equation,” she said. “I urge everyone to be extremely cautious with their firearm. I know from personal experience how easy it is to discharge a firearm accidentally.”
