Not out shopping with children who at any point could have shot each other. If only there were statistics for shopping with a gun, or the mother had another gun to defend herself.

That gun could have just as easily killed that 2 year old or anyone else in the store. I feel sorry for her kids--especially that 2 year old, who will carry this weight for the rest of his life.

happening.

Guess what? The purse was designed for concealed carry and a Christmas present. It had a special compartment with a zippered closure to keep the CC weapon secure. From a two year old.

I'll have to look for the source but an NRA weapons trainer said, "Kids are little gun finding machines."
