Tragic. I'm glad the baby is expected to survive.

I'll say the same thing here I did on the CE board thread o this. A handgun carried for defensive purposes belongs I a secure holster that covers the trigger guard carried securely on the hip. Not in a cluttered purse and certainly NOT in a diaper bag. This is especially true of these modern pieces where the "safety" is a lever on the trigger itself.


I know it's all the rage but I never have cared for the Glock style triggers, lack of an exposed hammer and external safety.

I never carried a loaded gun in my babies' diaper bag and guess what? I'm alive to tell about it!

We shouldn't forget that an innocent child had a bullet travel through her leg:

"After the gun went off, the bullet traveled through Smith's leg and then the child's leg before lodging in the man's chest"

Dude was black, BTW - so not a hillbilly. Just gun culture, I guess.....

So his diaper bag protection kit took out two others in his family before killing him.

No, just him - bullets today can do vast damage as they travel through you, through someone else...and then BACK at you for the Finale. I think it was the 3rd time that was the "charm" that did him in.

Meanwhile, if only good Roaches with guns were around...we'd have a more peaceful and polite society!

Darwin got a win. Speaking for myself, I never carried, but if I did I would never carry with a round in the pipe, no matter how much I trusted the firearm. There just isn't a need for me to do so.
Gun in the diaper bag?
It's a shame a baby was injured do to her father's stupidity. He does make the case for being being tested to see if they have the intelligence to own a firearm.

This is very sad but is also a classic case of negligence with a firearm.

Meh, could've had a rock or a knife in the diaper bag and died from that.
