A toddler accidentally fires his mother’s gun in Walmart, police say. She now faces charges

Ohio...hmmm.

Because fraus in southern Ohio and their offspring are exactly what The Datalounge is looking for, right OP?

Considering it’s that part of Ohio…. YEE HAW 🤠

Stand by for the "revelation" that he was aiming at a black person.

Walmart doesn't have greeters anymore.

Why aren’t they charging the toddler as an adult?

R5, my local walmart does. I was there there this morning.

Waiting for Mrs. Patsy Ramsey, formerly of Boulder, CO to opine on this unfortunate incident . . .

Told you I was hardcore.

R8, or baby Buck

So glad they're charging the Mother!

(They sure as Hell wouldn't in Texas!)

My Walmart has greeters too, R7.

Yeah they still do have obnoxious “greeters” who have to treat you like a thief and look in your bags. They no longer bother. Lacks with this though.

* no longer bother blacks

Well, R2 any one of us could be in the line of fire from a stray bullet(s) shot from a from an unsecured firearm, carried by a dumbass, in a grocery store. You know, since it's America. So it's relevant to DL in that way.

“Accidentally?”

In Sacramento, Wal-Marts have a decal on their doors asking people to please not bring firearms into the store. Not kidding.

I don't understand the rationale among these people. A few years ago, at a Wal-Mart in Idaho, a toddler fished a handgun out of his mother's purse, shot and killed her. The woman had a degree in physics and worked in a nuclear lab in Idaho Falls, not the type you'd think regularly runs around armed. The article pointed out that that the area has a very, very low crime rate, but stopped short of saying it wasn't necessary to C & C for errands around town.

This story is peak America. God I’m depressed….

A Florida mom put her purse in the back seat of the car beside her toddler in his car seat. He pulled he gun out and shot her in the back through the driver's seat. It didn't have the safety on. She survived her stupidity and carelessness unparalyzed.

Speaking of peak America, I can't remember if it was in this case or the Idaho case I posted above -- the purse was specially designed with a holster inside to carry the weapon. It was a Christmas the child's father. Apex America.

Jeez, ^Christmas present from...

If America is so great, why do citizens need to arm themselves? Shouldn’t our greatness indicate that we’re safe as a nation.

Outrageous. In my home there would be serious penalties for this type of behavior. Someone could have been hurt!

yet ANOTHER reason never to shop at wally world

How dare that mother hide the gun in her purse. That baby should have a gun. He has the right to bear arms! Its in the BIBLE!

The level of fear and paranoia that has a significant portion of the population taking a firearm to the grocery store is what gives us Trump and Christian fascism lite.

I have spoken to some of these people and asked them who the enemy is and who they are afraid of. These people all live in the middle of nowhere Iowa. They never see anyone who wasn't born and raised around those parts unless they travel for hours to a larger city. The answers they give are liberals, Mexicans, ANTIFA, the new world order, cabals of pedos, gangs in Chicago, feminists, the gay agenda, the government .......blah blah blah These people are extremely friendly 1-1, you would never think they hold such fear and bloodthirst. But their minds are rotted out by fear of an 'other' they have never seen.

I have a few older relatives who have lost hard earned savings on bitcoin and gold scams. Every scam starts the same. The 'insert group* is coming for your money, invest it with us, we'll treble it and keep it safe. Jesus. America. My relatives have very little to show for lives of hard labor. Instead of advocating for worker's rights and demanding a social safety net, they are clutching a gun and a bible and getting scammed out of the little they do have by the same people who put these fears into their heads.

Just as Obama (undiplomatically) warned.

If the Darfur Orphan had a gun, maybe he could get some food.

Say no more

As I always see, one must nip this behavior in the bud.

Blame it on foreign factions if you must.
