I’d charge her with criminal negligence and as part of her sentencing handcuff her to a blue training pistol 24/7 for a year of parole. Force her to carry it everywhere - bathroom, shower, bed, etc.

One of the neat things about attending Citizen Police Academy is that you got a short session on the PD’s virtual trainer range. Think a big room with multiple projectors, all computer controlled, and blue Glock 21s (the department’s standard uniformed issue weapon) with lasers instead of bullets. You’re confronted with one of a few hundred scenarios, and act/react. Trainer cop operates the system and critiques.

Cop hands me the trainer pistol. It’s noticeably a real Glock 21 by weight and appearance, painted blue. So I pull the slide back slightly to confirm there’s a laser mechanism in there and not a .45 ACP round.

“What are you doing!?”

“I’m making sure this thing isn’t an operable gun with a round in it. You’ve just handed me a Glock shaped object that weighs the same as a real Glock, I’m making sure before I pull the trigger that there’s a laser in there.”

“Huh. Never had anybody do that before.”

“Really!?”

It was fun. I did some things right, did some things wrong. Useful training tool for sure.
