Please understand I am not making fun of a tragedy 'Course the media is sometimes it's own worst news.

A young lady is injured, probably badly, with a revolver she found.

The graphic KWTX chose is interesting.

A revolver and apparently an aftermarket revolver barrel. That is a lot of serial numbering.

Looks like I need to go walk around the "bad" part of Waco. Apparently the area is so prosperous that unwanted guns are being thrown in the street. And all I usually find is a penny but this girl finds a gun with free ammo too. Maybe I will start a rescue gun shelter to give these unwanted guns a new home.

Ya know, too bad more parents dont teach their kids gun safety. I would venture to say if one of our daughters off this forum ever found a gun, I am pretty sure they wouldnt end up shooting themselves (or others) with it. But of course at that age, peer pressure and wanting to be cool sometimes clouds a young-uns judgement. I have worked with all my grandkids (except the 1.5 year old one) about the importance of gun safety and what to do if they ever do find a gun.

I have never found one but what is the boards opinion on that? Call LE immediately?

That's my opinion :biggrinjester:

Yes call LE. That is the not good part of town and either somebody tossed it out the window or it fell out of some kids pants who really needs a belt to hold them up. That's just a guess by Jason.

That's what I would do. There are very few innocent reasons for a gun to be left laying around, and as already mentioned, it was probably used in a crime. Even if not, as this report shows, you can't hope that some kid wont hurt themselves, or someone else.

:iagree:
I tell my children to not touch unfamiliar animals or guns.
