Do the words under the topics mean anything or can we just post anywhere we feel like it? In the case of this topic it is supposed to be matters related to " Gun, shooting and equipment discussions unrelated to CHL issues" and besides this post relates to a matter that has been posted elsewhere since yesterday.
At any rate IBTL.

This is a GENERAL gun topic. Pertains to proper management of firearms and gun safety. You don't have to read it.

You only have to go down about six posts to see the other post about the 5 year old boy accidently shooting himself, but I suppose you thought two 5 year olds shot themselves.

If it's the same story, I must have missed it. I will check it out. Even one 5-year old shooting himself is one too many.

Agree. Truly sad story. I'm not buying the babysitter's story. TV news now saying it was her gun instead of that of the boy's mom and dad. Where did a 19 year old buy a gun? She is afraid for her safety hence the gun for protection, but then she goes for a nap without the gun and does not hear the gun shot when the boy allegedly shot himself. Too many holes in her story.
