AZ GOPer: I Didn't Aim My Loaded Gun At A Reporter -- He Sat Down In Front Of It! [View All]

After an avalanche of criticism, Klein spoke with the Arizona Capitol Times and disputed Ruelas's version of events:

"The photographer, who was behind me at the time, asked me to show him the laser sight and I did so, turning it on and shining it on the wall in front of me (away from the photographer). During this demonstration, the reporter came and sat down in the sofa in front of me, placing himself in the line of the laser sight," Klein said.

"He noticed the light, then I noticed the light, then I turned it off. I apologized and let him know that he was safe because I keep my finger out of the trigger guard. Again, that is basic gun safety," she added.

Klein put out a statement Monday that called the story a part of "a media feeding frenzy that is driven by a few individuals who never miss the opportunity to advance an anti-2nd Amendment agenda."
