Her boyfriend, who police say is legally permitted to carry a firearm, then entered the bar and allegedly flashed his gun at the group of men.
The argument continued outside the bar and escalated to a gun battle, according to police. Investigators say nearly half a dozen shots were fired.
The woman's boyfriend, a 23-year-old man, was hit in the stomach and is in stable condition, police said. The three suspects drove away in two separate cars.
"When you're at a bar and you're drinking and you have a gun with you and somebody tells you something that's upsetting sometimes you do things that you're not supposed when you're permitted to carry," Police Captain John Walker said.
