This weekend, a woman by the name of Chelsea Durham, who also goes by the name of "Storm" Durham, claimed on Facebook and Twitter that on Friday she had been fired from her city of Roanoke (VA) Department of Social Services job for merely having a concealed carry permit.

The story sounds a bit thin as there is only Ms. Durham's word for it, but that didn't stop the right wing echo chamber from riding the story hard. First the Daily Caller, then The Inquisitr, The Blaze and Breitbart all covered the story. Failed right wing GOP Senate candidate, Chris Stewart, also stepped in, boosting Ms. Durham's story from his Facebook and Twitter accounts.

Ms. Durham has a fair sense of how to use social media, as she has been active on Twitter, and has had at least two Facebook Live airings. During her Sunday airing, she said she would be appearing on "Fox and Friends" early this week, and on Dana Loesch's NRATV show on Tuesday afternoon. Durham indicated that Alex Jones' show, "Infowars," would also be covering the story.

The City of Roanoke issued a statement on Saturday indicating that there was very little that they could say publicly about Ms. Durham because her departure was a personnel matter. The City did say, however, that Ms. Durham's departure had nothing to do with her constitutional rights.

It has been interesting to hear the sound of crickets from both the local and national mainstream media regarding this story. Perhaps part of that has to do with some of the pushback on Facebook from those who know of Ms. Durham's work history, which, if true, can best be described as worrisome.

It will be interesting to see how this story ultimately plays out. Are the mainstream media purposely not covering the story because, as some right wing critics have suggested, is because it doesn't fit their "anti-gun" narrative? Or has Ms. Durham dug herself a hole in which her only strategy is to dig further?

As Rachel Maddow says -- watch this space.
