I think this writer makes an excellent point, and eloquently. From what I read, the gun not only was loaded, but there was additional ammunition in the bag as well.
If true that is pretty irresponsible. If someone doesn't know the gun or the ammo is in the bag and they drop the bag...
Hell, I don't even let arrows for my bow roll around loose and tips uncovered in a bag. Someone could not know they are in there and stick their hand in.
I see we have a lot of anti-gun folks on this forum.
Or they do not understand the purpose of a gun. When you are attacked, just dial 911. That will fix everything.
