Re: 8-12-09 Boy's Shooting Death - "jostled a backpack"

Very sad story, I feel for the family that will have to bear the what-ifs for life. While I know it could happen as described, but is a little hard to believe.

That said this is a classic example of poor gun safety. As the father of 4 kids the thought of leaving a loaded gun anywhere within reach of kids is just asking for trouble. Kids are way too curious for that, plus carrying a gun loose whether it’s in a pocket, waist ban (Plaxico Burress), back pack, or gym bag is not safe. I think people sometimes lose focus on the fact that holsters are not only for helping you carry a gun in comfort, but to also to do it safely.
