Similar incidents, without having the gun fired, have resulted in child endangerment charges against the parents.

Anyone think that that will happen here?

Why hasn't Papa taught the kid boo about gun safety. Oh wait, it's a cop.

I wonder if it was a Glock.

Maybe the gun control advocates should focus on taking guns away from the cops? Make them carry them in the holster with a trigger lock on it? ;)

Seriously though.. we had a local undersheriff (aka a chief deputy in some places) who was showing off to a couple young ladies one evening. He was wowing them about how you can hold pressure against the muzzle of a .45 colt auto. and how doing so will push the barrel back a bit and keep the gun from firing. Where it got interesting is when he relesed the pressure from the end of the barrel, but had not released the trigger. BLAMM! Big smoking hole thru the palm of his hand.

This is what happens when kids are kept from guns.

Had this kid been taken to the range more often, then made to clean the thing afterwords, all the mystique and mystery would gone and the firearm would be just another tool.

Keeping kids from shooting, like the idiot anti's want to do, only causes this problem to be worse.
