That was close. Almost shot out the windshield.
So the negligent discharge was in a car, not at the gun show.
Title makes it sound as if she was shot inside.
In the past, anti-gunners have gotten into gun shows and while looking at guns slip a cartridge in one and leave it hoping someone will pick it up and dry fire it.
Then they scream about shootings at gun shows.
“...Judd accidentally caused the loaded weapon to discharge.”
Whoa! That’s weird. I can’t recall seeing article describes an A.D. as anything other than the gun accidently went off, as if it is a sentient being with agency.
Sumpin ain’t write.../S
It makes it easier for them to confiscate our ‘weapons’ (guns)
Evidently the Lord has more plans for this lady or more time to accept Him as her Savior.
An obvious multiple-instance case of ignoring the basic rules.
A moving vehicle is simply an exceptionally bad place to “compare” firearms; to “hand” a gun to another person without the “hander” checking for clear (error #1) and the “handee” checking for clear (error #2) and then pointing the weapon at anything you don’t wish to destroy EVEN IF you and the person before you checked for empty (error #3) so I am counting three direct rule violations and one particularly egregious brainf**t. And I don’t own a gun.
Sounds like Lasonya was unqualified to handle a gun.
The Ministry of Propaganda strikes again.
This happened outside a gun show as they were leaving in a vehicle.
Stupid people are what causes negligent discharges, not the gun.
Is it responsible to have your gun with a round in the chamber and the safety off if you aren’t getting ready to fire at a target?
I’ll bet more people have been shot at anti-violence rallies than at gun shows.
Always, always, always keep the muzzle pointed in a SAFE DIRECTION!!! Someone was prayin for that fool.
Major oops. Imagine how that guy will feel for the rest of his life.
“Accidental”? How about “Negligent”?
And who the hell has a loaded gun at a show? That is always verboeten.
The sheriff’s office received a call at about 10:15 a.m., spokesman John Jones said in a news release.
The victim was identified as Alyssa Lewis Glosson, 29, of Cameron. She, her husband, William Daniel Glosson, and Lasonya Judd had been to the gun show, Jones said.
William Glosson handed his gun and one of two handguns he had purchased to Judd so she could compare the weapons. As they were leaving the parking lot, Judd accidentally caused the loaded weapon to fire, Jones said.

Would love to see the forensics diagram of how someone in the back seat can be hit by a ricochet in the back of the head.
The second fault is with the individual receiving the firearm without first verifying that the action is open, the chamber empty, and no rounds present in the firearm, thence handling it safely.
I never have a round chambered. Guess its just me.
Even during cleaning.... when our firearms are disassembled... the kids know to treat each one just as if it IS LOADED...
...no exceptions. Ever.
Not sure if media is spinning it to shield the woman or make it sound like ‘stupid’ woman does it.
A woman caused the ‘accidentsl dischsrge’. Only time they say it this way is to give leos cover for stupidity.
