Bottom line to this whole story is that a child lost their life because somebody broke multiple safety rules. I personaly don't have kids but when around them go to tremendous trouble to insure that my guns are not accessible to anybody especially kids without my knowledge and consent. I personally carry a glock and feel very safe doing so but I also keep it in a holster with a fairly tight fit and plenty of cover for the trigger and if I have to store it in a bag holster or not or have to leave it out of the holster I remove the round from the chamber and often even eject the mag. I have had my gun fall off my hip on the bike at 130mph and not go off. I was also blessed with a father who enforced gun safety with an iron fist from the time I could walk (thanks dad) which I think sadly the majority of kids today don't get. Before I could understand the true consequences of gun negligence I understood the consequences of having dad mad at me and in my house that was more than enough of a deterent. Stories like this besides being tragic due to the loss of life also give the anti's more ammo against us which will eventualy result in the loss of freedom for all of us which is also a tragedy.
