What a total tragedy.
Expect Gun control lobby is going to have a complete field day with this tragedy. They would exploit anything.
Grand Jury indicts Walmart for no metal detectors.
Very sad, but totally avoidable.
No safety? Really?
Perhaps there should be a third rule: If you’re not using your firearm, make sure no one else can.
Hopefully that kid will never find out just how his/her mother died.Talk about being in need of couch time!
This poor child. What a terrible accident this child will live with forever.
I think my 2 year old would shoot and kill me too. But I am not dumb enough to allow him anywhere near a loaded gun.
What a shame.
Very sad.
That poor kid.
A 2-year old with grabby hands can happen regardless of any law. Common sense would have saved the day, you don’t leave a loaded firearm near a 2 year old.
What a shame. Surely the gun must have had a safety that wasn’t on? I feel terrible for that child. He or she will grow up knowing they killed their mother even though they were just a toddler & didn’t know what they were doing. Heavy load for anyone.
We need to pass a law prohibiting 2 year olds from shooting guns.
The crime rate in Idaho doesn’t warrant a chambered round in your pocketbook gun.
Of course they will, --as they should!
This type of carelessness pisses me off to no end and like it or not, reflects negatively on the entire concept of CCW. This is the kind of crap that anti-gunners tell us is going to happen when we pass CCW laws. And now they get to shout it from the rafters.
It could have been my wife or my kids standing next to her in line. People who carry loaded guns in public need to exercise 100% absolute vigilance at all times. The only good from the amount of mileage in the press that this story WILL receive is that hopefully it will make other CCW'ers think, "that could've been me. I need to be more careful."
With four children around, if this woman’s handgun had no safety feature SHE IS AN IDIOT, NOW A DEAD IDIOT.
Dreadful. RIP.
The Buggy Doctrine.
**** happens, try to stay smart.
I use a Saf-T-Blok on my carry Glock.
Sorry it was his/her mother but it could have been anyone. My sister lives there and shops there all the time.
I find it so bizarre that willful assassins in muderous rampages kill so few that they shoot, but small children are able to do it with one accidental shot.
The Seattle Times article on the shooting closed with a completely unnecessary sentence about how the shooting took place in a politically conservative town. That was the dog whistle for the leftist Seattleites to pollute the comments section with gloating and glee.
