RE: Woman accidentally shot by her kids: Get ready for the gun grabbers to go wild with this
This is one reason I don't like purse-carry. If the gun is on your person, no one is going to get access to it without you knowing they did so... unless you're passed-out drunk. In which case...
But, yeah, a lot of modern handguns (and old revolvers) don't have extra safeties to separately disengage. If they are loaded and you pull the trigger, they will go bang. Which, for defensive purposes, is a good thing.
It's not really possible to make a kid-proof (or idiot-proof) gun. The best you can do is make gun-proof kids who know how to safely be around guns. Then, even if you aren't around and they encounter a gun, a tragedy will not occur.
Exactly. Now I don't have any children but my friends and neighbors do and they take them shooting and make certain they are very aware of the dangers and also how to correctly use said weapons and drill into them that these are not toys.
