The pistol was apparently left on a coffee table in the living room when she took a nap." Nothing like some healthy irrational fear to get toddlers killed. Score one for the good guys. Stupid ass, allowed to have a gun, allowed to have a gun around kids, allowed to sleep with a gun loose around kids. Yep, sounds pretty Texas to me. Hey, at least she took the shot kid to the GRANDPARENTS HOUSE for help, you know, instead of calling 911. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chedlin 0 #16 October 25, 2013 While this happened in a part of Texas with some well deserved stereotypes don't confuse our desire for freedom with a desire for this recklessness. And the article plainly states she went to the child's grandparents' house because... That was the closest phone! 19 year olds can't buy or carry handguns. Texas law states that leaving a gun where a child can get to it is a felony if a child is harmed, class A misdemeanor if not. Texas gun stores post notice of this law.

Which is what we most certainly do NOT have right now with respect to keeping guns out of the hands of felons and loonies, and preventing straw purchases. And the reason we don't have it is because the gun lobby steadfastly opposes any attempt at real enforcement of the existing laws, all the while giving mealy-mouthed lip service to those laws....
