Yes tragedies like this can be prevented here in our state, if gunowner follows common sense ( Lacking in today's culture) and proper training. I have to block out, when my brain creates pictures, when I read articles like these: http://www.theblaze.com/stories/tra...-shoots-7-year-old-son-outside-penn-gun-shop/
Many of you know my story when my wifey refused to have my handgun at home. We have 3 kids and she, being born in America has read about many gun related accidents. Now, I check my 357 revolver twice when I unload and have had to leave it at my mom's. or hide my gun and take the ammo away. Gabe Gutenberger and his late wife Stephanie taught me good gun safety. I remember him saying that with a handgun, one needs to eject the lone bullet from the gun. They both showed me different ways to lock the gun. On Saturday, I bought a trigger lock, the one thing my wife requested, if I wanted to leave the gun at home. It is still hid it. Next item will be a gun safe. This morning I checked my cylinder again: Empty.
I could go on... I am thankful that so far I have not done anything stupid. I hope that we on this blog contunially remind ourselves tyo play it safe and follow the things we have learnt and by experience to keep incidents like the above from happening. The sad case is that the dad who is broken may go to jail. Yes accidents do happen. Let us do all to prevent them. a handgun is a part of my life now.
