WTF? A Florida lawyer walked into a gun shop and TALKED about shooting ICE agents in the head

Lisa White allegedly said she wanted a firearm for protests, asked if it could penetrate body armor, and said she’d aim for the head if it couldn’t.

The shop refused the sale and reported her.

HSI later arrested her in Mississippi. She’s been a licensed Florida attorney since 1995.

When talk of shooting federal agents reaches a gun shop, it doesn’t stay a private conversation for long.

The investigation began Sept. 23 after an agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives alerted HSI to the encounter at High Caliber Guns, according to a criminal complaint obtained by the Sun Herald.

White entered the store around 11:30 a.m. and told employees, “I need a gun,” according to the complaint cited by the outlet.

She allegedly identified herself as an activist and protester and said she wanted a firearm for protection at a protest because she believed “ICE agents are becoming crazy and wild.”

But White also told an employee she wanted to buy a gun to kill ICE agents, according to the complaint.

While discussing the weapons, White allegedly gestured toward her torso and asked whether the guns could penetrate an agent’s body armor. If they could not, she said she would need to “hit them in the head, shoulder, arm or leg,” the complaint states, according to the Sun Herald.

A shop employee reportedly warned White that pointing a gun at law enforcement would likely get her killed.

“If I have to die, I have to die,” White responded, according to the complaint.

The employee then suggested White buy pepper spray instead of a gun and directed her to a shooting range for training, the complaint states.

White looked at two pistols but left empty-handed after the shop declined to complete the sale and told her she could return in two to three days, the newspaper reported. Store employees then alerted authorities, prompting the investigation.

“The safety of our personnel is paramount, and HSI takes any threat against federal law enforcement officers with the utmost seriousness,” HSI Gulfport Assistant Special Agent in Charge Matthew Reidell said.

“We commend the vigilance of the citizens for recognizing these threats and notifying law enforcement immediately, which allowed us to intervene swiftly.”

White remained in custody as agents prepared a federal charge of influencing, impeding or retaliating against a federal official by threat, ICE said.

ICE officers are facing a 1,600% increase in assaults against them, a 3,300% increase in vehicle attacks, and an 8,000% increase in death threats.
