Toddler Fatally Shoots Mother At Idaho Walmart
The woman reportedly had a concealed carry permit.
The unidentified mother was shopping with her son along with several relatives in the store when the boy, sitting in the front of the shopping cart, found the gun in her purse and shot the woman at about 10.15 a.m., according to The Guardian.
Authorities believe the shooting death in the electronics section of the store was accidental.
Kootenai County Sheriff’s Lt. Stu Miller said one of the children, a 2-year-old, reached into his mother’s purse and pulled out a hand gun and shot her.
“She is deceased,” he said. “We are in the process of contacting her relatives.”
KREM reports that Walmart issued a statement.

The proliferation of firearms does not make us safer.
Pointing out that salient fact is not an attempt to infringe on anyone’s second amendment rights. It is an observation of reality.
More cars = more traffic accidents
More guns = more firearms accidents
It really is that simple.

Um…. I’ve stumbled upon a revelation here. Whenever there is a story about a gun control group/organization/movement, the pro gun machine springs to life, the chain e mails go out and the attack begins.
When there is a story (and there have been many), about another senseless death at the end of a gun barrel the second amendment crowd doesn’t weigh in at all.
Conclusion.
They (the aforementioned crowd) are shocked, dismayed and genuinely afraid of anti gun groups. They will absolutely gather en mass to show their indignation at the prospect of gun control.
Bullet ridden corpses?
Not so much

Maybe we should figure out a way to combine stories. It would be fun to see how they would react.

I just invited one of them to join us in one of the articles concerning the senseless slaughter of Americans via gun. We’ll see

I love knowing I could get my head blown off grocery shopping because of people like this

Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy to think that one moment you are looking at a fruit basket and the next moment being fitted for a casket. Better make sure funeral insurance is paid up.

Listen, the mother should have been more careful as to having the gun without the safety on, in her purse, in front of her child. When I was a kid I always messed around in her purse when I was in the buggy because it was fun. Pick up her matches, pick up her lighter, pick up her keys, wallet, etc. It’s what kids do. It’s not the firearm’s fault, and it’s certainly not the child’s fault. The reality of this matter is that stupid people who senselessly carry around a firearm in close proximity to their children don’t deserve to own firearms, and don’t deserve to carry a CWP. Gun safety and education is the most important aspect of owning a firearm of any kind.
