Investigators said the boy used a chair to access the handgun which was "unsafely" and insecurely stored on top of a kitchen cabinet.
The kid was eight years old and he put the gun where parents unsuccessfully put the fucking cookie jar.
I try not to read articles like this because they just make me sick and I regret reading this one.
I generally try not to read them either. I have elementary age kids. Before I had kids I owned a handgun and would go to the range but when the kids came along the gun had to go. There’s no level of risk other than zero that’s acceptable to me in this regard.
thank you for being a responsible and respectable parent👍🌻
Amen to that, the best risk mitigation is to remove the risk! Completely agree
