The only way to stop a . . .
 
What is the only way to stop a four year old that has a good guy's gun? :(

Anyone showing off a bed full of loaded weapons deserves to be accidentally shot with one of them. Too bad it happened to his wife.

The question has been why was the gun loaded? Who keeps their gun collection loaded when there are kids around? You would think that a trained LEO would be more cautious than this while hosting a party. Inexplicable tragedy, IMO.

Indeed. :(

I don't necessarily find "law enforcement" and "good guys" synonymous.

All I can say is wow, Marc. It's a good thing he was fired.

Totally inexcusable and irresponsible. Want gun laws that would save lives, this should be criminal. Your gun, your responsibility. Maybe it will teach people to keep your weapons unloaded or locked properly.

Which kind of defeats the self-protection idea , no?

There are no children here so ours are loaded, chambered with the safties on and always within arm's reach. Don't even think about coming in uninvited.

Wow, imagine growing up and going through life knowing you did that, even if it was by
accident.

This IS criminal. Involuntary manslaughter at least, negligent in my view. Hopefully charges will be filed.
The damn sheriff isn't helping any by calling it a terrible accident. It's not an accident, it's willful disregard.
