If this is a "rather unusual incident", how is it a good indication of how careless "we" are with firearms ?
This incident was unusual but with 200,000 guns lost a year, that number speaks for itself.

SO, did the driver completely mess up and deliver the wrong package completely? Or did the grandparents actually sign for it and then open?
ALso, with it being a week before Xmas, was the child really present in the room for the box opening? Or was that a way to make the story even more dramatic?
From what I have read an adult signed for the package.

In a photo taken by Berman, the UPS label, which had Kohl’s in Ohio as the sender, can be seen pasted over another UPS label from the Arizona resident to a gunsmith in upstate Woodbourne.
But from what I gather, another label was placed over the original, causing the package to divert to their home rather than the gunsmith.
I'm still suspicious that they opened the package with a child in the room a week before Xmas. I'm not saying it could have happened, but I know in our house, around Xmas time nothing gets opened in front of the kiddos.

It wasn't for the child in the room. It was for a friend's son or something like that.

I also question the reporting that the package was the size of a keyboard box. My shotgun is longer than a keyboard box and the picture sure looks like it is longer than a keyboard box.
I'm calling fake news on this. Will wait to see if additional facts come out about this unusual incident.
