Handbag Used To Disarm Gunman Sold For US$13,100 on eBay

The brown Brahmin handbag that school board member, Ginger Littleton, used to whack the gun out of the gunman's hand during a Bay County, Florida School Board meeting on 14th December, 2010, has managed to raise US26,200 for Salvage Santa, a non-profit organization that fixes old toys and bicycles for needy children, run by the school's security guard.

Ginger Littleton did not manage to get the gun out of the gunman, she distracted him enough so that the security guard could move in and hurt the gunman, though the gunman killed himself. Not a good outcome at all but at least something positive came out of the incident.

Although the handbag auction managed to raise "only" US$13,100 on eBay, the handbag company that makes Brahmin has matched the auction dollar for dollar, with all proceeds going to Salvage Santa.
