Very sad.
That poor kid.
A 2-year old with grabby hands can happen regardless of any law. Common sense would have saved the day, you don’t leave a loaded firearm near a 2 year old.

Totally agree. The woman probably thought whe was being safe in protecting her kids against any harm that might come.
Fortunately - the kid didn’t shoot himself, the other children in his family or a stranger. Just his mother.
Sad that anyone was shot, but if someone had to be shot - she was the natural choice.
I just find this hard to believe.
Of course, you probably know many popular pistols have no ‘safety’, like the M&P Shield for instance. And like a Glock, they can also fire a round without a magazine inserted. The blame should be placed where it is due: on the idiot who allowed the weapon to become accessible to a child. For me, a round in the chamber is not a good idea, though some can argue convincingly that it’s the only way to CCW.
