perhaps it was a 9mm Kurz (.380 acp ) and the Press/News media wanted it to sound worse

So, couldda been a P3AT

It was reported that KN toddler, was showing off his pistol and tried to rack and make ready and squeezed the trigger just to keep a grip.

Thanks ...yeah, I just now saw the updated video

Defective signs?
The gun-free signs at the local schools here do not have a picture of a Beretta on them; perhaps they are defective signs and need pictures .... oh wait, that was a KelTec ... never mind.

News Update:
Gun was Keltec 9mm, so either a P11 or PF9 (heavy DA trigger pull IMHO; modem weapon with drop safety, kid had to have pulled the trigger)
Owned by a "friend of the family"

Well ok, but buffalo rarely drop them when they carry them.


(Sorry, couldn't resist) ... I mean the cheaply made pre-Saturday night special ban pot metal guns I used to see at gun shows, may be other brands.

comments on this across the country are so different in different locales.


I just added on one

------------

gun in a "gun-free-zone"????

So easy a child can do it.

Can 6-year olds not read the sign which prevents guns there?

Teacher should be accountable for not teaching the kid to read.

Non-students who are armed robbers or have other evil intent on college campuses probably can't read either.

Perhaps we need a bill passed to help dyslexics.

Doesn't Houstin ISD pay for school nurses anymore? Can't an EMT put a band-aid on a scratch without transporting anymore? Something in this story is not adding up, besides the gun firing when it was dropped from half the normal height (a six year old can't be much taller than half an adult's height, can he?).

I wondered the same. I bet the ambulance chasers are already lining up to file lawsuits.

I bet not ...

No vehicle involved (school is probably immune); guess they might sue someone allowing access to the gun.
I'm not a lawyer, but ... I do know a bit after 25 years researching etc for a Board Certified P.I. atty ... Well, I'll just defer to second paragraph from the bottom as a "general" precept I wouldn't dispute

Anyone filing a frivolous lawsuit against a school district may end up paying a lot later.

And, that's my layman's opinion, worth every cent paid for it

Most people don't know schools are mostly immune, we used to get a lot of calls about broken legs on unsafe school stairways etc etc etc ...

is there a gun law that would have prevented this? (other than the 100% removal of ALL guns?)

Preventing Guns which fire when dropped ... I mean really old Davis or Jennings guns may not have drop safety, but I think most "modern" guns do because someone got sued long long ago. A gun "going off" when dropped is really really rare, that's why Houston is surprising lately.

A gun law disallowing a 6-year old from getting a gun from his older brother's backpack which a homie gave him or whatever allowed access or laws setting areas aside as "gun free" are useless... and 100% removal of ALL guns.... is an impossibility anyway

Woods' group is tweeting (twittering?) already

"gun fell out of the pocket"



All cities, or the Federal Govt should have a government funded program (like the "buyback") to trade all guns which don't have a drop safety for a new Glock and we won't have situations like this or the one in the Houston restaurant any more.
They should file a bill and pass it on a National level


Wait ... why are all the defective gun drops occurring in Houston ...
