An Indiana woman who purchased a laptop case from a yard sale was surprised to discover that it contained a loaded handgun.
Rhonda Milligan purchased the laptop from the Evansville Christian Life Center sale and didn't realize that it also contained a loaded revolver until she got home. After making the discovery, she called police and returned to the Christian Center, but they had already closed.
