Nothing happens for storing your gun in a dumb enough way that a 6 y.o. can get their hands on it and bring it to school...
But they get nailed for 1oz of weed...
Ugh
And while at it, drunk people seem a lot more aggressive than stoned ones. If they make weed and guns a problem, let's add alcohol as well.
Even without any drug, alcohol or kid involved, leaving your loaded gun unattended in a handbag is wack.
This wasn't even the first time her gun was fired in public through negligence, yet she's still carrying one around.
Yeah, that's true. But watching the lock picking lawyer I'm not sure if a gun safe would be better 🙄
Flimsy cheapass boxes that can be opened with a fork, sure.
I'd love to see a 6yo try to get into an actual safe though.
I doubt she would have bought a good one :-)
It is illegal to have a firearm on your person while under the influence of alcohol, even one drink. Now as to how often that gets enforced is entirely another problem.
But it sounds as if the problem was that she owned cannabis, not currently being under the influence. Imagine having some beer in your fridge and not being able to own a gun. I might have misunderstood that part though.
