I'd go even further. Then it shouldn't be there. I am in complete support of gun ownership, but a gun, whether loaded or unloaded, should never be laying around where a toddler can get a hold of it. If you have a toddler and no CC, then don't carry a gun around with you.

I don't know why it is, but I get the feeling she handed the gun to her son to play with thinking it wasn't loaded. If it's a particular type of pistol, it probably wasn't safe'd either, unless the son already knew how to work the selector.

Isn't that like that guy who wanted to take a selfie with a gun but shot and killed himself? Maybe he didn't think it was loaded either.. oops!
Two things that caught my attention,besides the fact that she was extremely careless.
1. Is she actually a gun activist or does she just own guns? A big difference
2. Someone who likes ANY potentially dangerous activity has a bigger chance of getting injured from that activity then others
Other titles include smoking nut dies of lung cancer from cigarettes.
Car enthusiast suffers serious injury from driving a car.
Avid skier breaks both legs while skiing.
Dog owner gets bit by own dog.
I think you get the point.
I don't see anything wrong with owning a gun. I do see it totally wrong for the gun not to be properly stored and locked. There are way too many options that allow the gun to be stored safe yet easily accessible in case of emergency need to use it now use.

Mmmhmmm. Responsible gun owners never have accidents; those who have accidents were not responsible owners.

This does it! I'm convinced to irrationally fear guns and cry for moar gun control.
Because a background check on her 4 year old would have....
oh wait.
Because a waiting period before...
uh...
Because...
Eh. Just ban guns to sate my irrational fears.

It's O.K. He's pretty happy when his are being beaten/robbed/raped/killed because they called 911.
Maybe that was the problem this time. Maybe the mother was playing with the tablet and the kid with the gun.

she ran a Facebook group called "Jamie Gilt for Gun Sense"
"This is a page to connect people that share a common goal. That goal is to protect and expand our 2nd Ammendment rights."
she was an activist, it just backfired.

Look there's one other thing we might all agree on. Whether you believe in gun controls or the 2nd amendment maybe we can all agree that Florida needs to be disarmed.

Whoa, is that the same person?
The only thing that can stop her son with a gun is her daughter with a gun.
