Yeah, that one came across my local tv station's website this morning and landed on Facebook.

So dear old mom didn't know the kid had a gun in the apartment. These days parents are terrified of going through their teenagers' rooms because someone will call CPS and say mom was violating the child's privacy. So now we have a generation of little brats who think they are entitled to not only their complete and total privacy of their room (in a home their parent pays for), but that they can be a sass-mouth, disrespectful little shit who can threaten a parent with abuse the moment the parent doesn't tow the line set by the kid.

My kids have privacy - to a point. I will not allow them to get on Minecraft servers if I am not here. They have to stay on the computer in the kitchen, in full view of everyone so when I walk in the room, I can see exactly what they are doing. I never go through their things unless there is a valid reason for it. My oldest step son stole money out of his mother's purse. As a result, when he comes here, he has to earn my trust. He got privileges yanked and has to show me everything that he brings over from his mother's house. When he's here, my purse and wallet are hidden in my room and my bedroom door stays shut. We have 2 hunting rifles here, but we keep all ammunition at a friends house ten miles away. The only time those guns come out of the cabinet is when we actually go hunting to feed the family. They are locked with individual safety locks we got for free from the State police, and then locked in the gun cabinet, which is in our bedroom.

We monitor our kids very closely. We aren't perfect, but the kids know where our boundaries are and they do not ever try to cross that line.

Yep...that just keeps happening.... these guns just go off "all by themselves."

‘It just went off all by itself,’ Hartsville woman says of gun that wounded 2

Peterson told police she left the gun in between couch cushions, which is where she usually stores the weapon. Peterson went on to say she and the 18-year-old were in the living room when the gun “just went off all by itself.”



When officers spoke with the 18-year-old, he told police he pulled the gun from the couch cushions, placed it in the front pocket of his hooded sweatshirt and the weapon “just went off.”

Somehow the second story sounds more likely....except for the "just went off" part.  Still, storing a gun between the couch cushions with little kids in the house makes this one a first class moron to begin with.

Oops.  Another L-ARGO heading for Gun Nut Heaven.

Preliminary investigation indicates he was cleaning a weapon when he accidentally shot himself.

Yup.  Always carefully identify your target.

A 2-year-old girl accidentally shot herself in the head Monday afternoon inside a Sacramento County house while her mother and another woman were also home, deputies said.

Apparently not dead yet...merely "critical."  So much better.

Shouldn't give kids guns, idiots.
