Child accidentally shot in face outside restaurant dies
http://www.wkyt.com/wymtnews/headlines/Child_shot_in_the_face_122399619.html

A two-year-old has died after she was shot in the face outside a restaurant.

<snip>

Investigators say the toddler found the gun in the console of her family's car.

Her mother was buckling a baby into a car seat in the back at the time.

The gun went off while the little girl was handing it. The bullet hit her in the face.

Sad.............I can't imagine


That's why you never ever remove your pistol from your side. Don't store them is purses, gloveboxes, book shelves, in night stands, ect... have your safety decice on your person at all times or lock it up. My wife won't carry a pistol because she's not able to at work so it would instead end up in her purse or vehicle, instead it's a kimber pepper blaster.
