I'm with you on this. How about a gun "enthusiast" who casual carries with one in the chamber?
I have never touched a gun, and dont intend too, so I am probably naive on the subject.....but it never occurred to me that it was conceivable that a mom would have a gun in her purse with a bullet ready to go with no latch on the trigger and a trigger that is so easy to pull that a 2 year old could do it. And to make matters worse almost all I see are opinions that this is a sad accident, not much in the way of "this woman was irresponsible, did not know her gun safety". A safety latch takes what, about a second to disengage? And am I reading right that not all guns have them?
I have never liked guns, never wanted to be around them, but growing up in the midwest I certainly knew gun people, to include members of my family. I even went to NRA BBQ's a few times because my dad was a salesman and making a showing was politically necessary and he sometimes dragged us kids along, but every gun person I remember ever being around seemed to care a LOT about gun safety. I have been given gun safety lectures even though I never had any intention of ever touching a gun.
A 2 year old killing mom with her own gun in Walmart is shocking to me.
