Mother in critical condition after 8-year-old accidentally shoots her at baseball game, gun owner charged (weapon, state)

Another irresponsible gun owner leaving a gun unsecured, this time in a vehicle.

By the way, what IS it with kids these days that point a gun at people and pull the trigger?

When I was that age, no way would I ever have thought to aim a weapon at anyone and attempt to shoot them, play or not. Maybe an obvious cheap plasticky water gun, sure, but a solid looking gun?

Gimmeabreak.

A water gun? Playing cops and robbers? So you didn't have a toy gun. Good for you.

As a child, I heard You're dead and you know it!! more times than I can remember from neighborhood kids--and my own brothers--and none of 'em grew up to be killers.

But we get the picture: you found another example in your mission to expose irresponsible gun owners.

Congratulations.
