I can’t imagine a 3 year old even managing to handle the gun much less accidentally pulling the trigger.

Cats and dogs have been known to shoot their owners. Especially cats when they get playful and start pawing things.

This one simple trick can prevent this from happening! Keep the chamber empty and nothing in the magazine either.

Of course this situation begs the question as to why a loaded firearm is in a car right where young children are too.

I headed up the 4H shooting program in my county.

Lots of 7-9 years old’s had problems properly holding even air rifle.

The idea of a 3 year old holding it and pointing it.

Seems strange.
