Absolutely...as soon as YOUR insurance gets to deny coverage to you for any injury (personal or property) that can be attributed to your negligence or carelessness rather than being caused by something entirely out of your control.
It is one thing to learn from the mistakes of others so as to avoid repeating them.
It is quite another to be petty, vindictive, and frankly cowardly and to throw one of our own under the bus.
The liberals say, "No enemies to the left." And it works for them.
Gun owners (and conservatives) are far too quick to throw their own to wolves so as to save their own individual hide. It is disgusting.
The woman (or someone else who left a loaded gun in the back seat) made a mistake. A serious mistake. It was stupid and preventable. We ought to be very grateful the outcome was not more serious.
But does that single mistake erase all the good she has done so much that small and petty minds would want to have her punished more?
The gun grabbers hope child services finds cause against her for letting a child shoot a gun (and owning a gun). Solus hopes to impose significant financial hardship by denying insurance coverage for her medical treatments.
With friends like solus who needs gun grabbers.

one of our own? sorry, insurance companies routine decline payment regularly when someone's act
IS attributed (real or perceived) to their negligence or carelessness!!
out of their control? sorry mate, now you sound like mother's against everything spewing propaganda..but, but the weapon just walked over and laid down on the vehicle's backseat next to my possibly unbuckled 4yo ...then, oh dear... (dubbing tear or two and a sniffle for effect) then...the firearm magically jumped into the toddler's hands and bloody h3ll discharged all by itself.
out of their control where on earth did you come up with that savant thought? rather than being caused by something entirely out of their control ~ they should stand up and accept accountability for 1) possibly not buckling their toddler in! 2) laying the firearm in the backseat in the first place within reach of said toddler!!!
mate, this event could have been a tragic lesson to learn...and a child could have ended up motherless and had to live with it their entire life...
now hold her accountable so there is a lesson for the mother to learn and she will preach safety to the choir till she eventually passes...
and finally, yes child services should step in and investigate the familial child rearing skills...i'm sorry bragging on social media they let their 4yo toddle handle and fire a pistol is strictly for their attention getting scheme...what on earth else is this mother doing to get attention now or in the future using her child?
(splain something lucy...Piaget proved, and reproduced in peer studies, beyond a shadow of a doubt a child that age does not have the cognitive capability to grasp concrete thought processes so their behaviour would reflect the process, so how on earth would you expect a child of this age to even begin to understand the concepts of firearm safety...
and when the nice man who is cleaning his firearm and 'accidentally' or 'carelessly' or you pick a word that best suites your sensibilities, seriously wounds or kills someone...let's not even bother to have an investigation and just put it down to,
oh darn mistakes happen ~ don't let it happen again, ya hear...
a sidebar mate...if i remember correctly, another gun enthusiast mother whose child grew up with alleged mental and cognitive issues was taught to handle and shoot a myriad of the mother's firearms, both rifles and pistols ~ that shooter murdered twenty-seven people, including twenty children on Dec 14 2012.
there are consequences for mistakes...just like in DUI/DWI or DV activities...this should not be any different...hold the mother specifically and investigate the child rearing capabilities of the family to assure the child does not become a victim or killer.
one other concept mate to your oh let bygones be bygones when a mistake occurs...oh let little 9yo susie shoot the fully automatic Uzi ~ what harm can it cause ... TRUST ME her mental health bill is going to be borne by the taxpayers till she passes!!
