Man Arrested for Pulling Gun on Pregnant Woman for Smoking

Smoking is a hard addiction to quit for millions of Americans. So, on occasion, it’s not out of the realm of possibility to see a pregnant woman smoking.

Pregnant women who dare to smoke tend to be on the receiving end of all sorts of public shaming, but a man in Washington stands accused of pulling a handgun and pointing it at the unnamed 28-year-old mother to be after she rebuffed his opinion about her smoking while pregnant in public.

Local paper the Bellingham Herald describes the exchange between the two before the man, identified as 24-year-old Justin Dain Palmer, pulled out the gun and aimed it at the woman and her unborn child:

“According to police, the man shouted something to the effect of, ‘Who the heck smokes when they’re pregnant?’

“The woman answered, ‘I do.’ “
