She put it back in the couch???? After the three-year-old had obviously found it there??? Why, why, why are people so mind-bogglingly stupid?
Not to mention her blaring ignorance on how a semi-auto handgun works.
What an idiot. Now we're going to hear from the anti-gun nuts, because there are those who are too stupid to handle (and store) a firearm safely!
Exactly. To put the gun in the same spot where the 3-year old just found it, it is obvious that he would pick it up again. If her story is true, education might have helped, both knowing how to check the chamber and knowing to treat all guns as loaded. But that is dwarfed by the basic stupidity displayed.
Stupid is = stupid does.
Kid is lucky he still has a mother.
Kid is unlucky he has the one he does.
What was so stupid about it was removing the magazine and not clearing the chamber.
Do that, and it's just a hammer.
And she will probably put it BACK THERE or in another equally stupid place even after having been SHOT!
People are dumba$$es, particularly when it comes to gun safety.
