Nance’s prior arrest records indicated that he was previously arrested for aggravated discharge of a weapon involving a woman.
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 write.
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.
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.

It implies a domestic dispute rather than, like a bar fight.
Right, because bars are man only.
It must be exhausting to be constantly on the lookout for things to be offended by.
Nah, at some point it’s pretty much automatic. I don’t even have to think about it. It’s like ‘yo mama’ jokes, you just see them.
And only men can perpetuate domestic violence of course, it’s 1946!
No. They are saying that he was previoualy arrested for aggravated discharge of a weapon and that the aforementioned incident involved a woman.

Why not just end the sentence with the word “weapon”? That’s the important part.

They probably would have specified if it was a man, too.
You’re making up things to be upset about.
Nice of you to notice the subtitles of the American justice system. This is actually a much harsher crime than just leaving the gender undefined.
