Toddler accidentally shoots and kills his mother in Idaho Wal-Mart

[mpohl 1]

Now, if just all toddlers would kill their gun-addicted parents, we'd have a better, less violent, society !!!

I don't feel sorry for the victim. Not one bit!!!


A woman was killed in an Idaho Wal-Mart Tuesday morning when her 2-year-old son accidentally shot her, according to local authorities.

Kootenai County Sheriff’s Department spokesman Lt. Stu Miller said in a statement that the boy was seated in a shopping cart when he reached into his mother’s purse and fired the gun.

The 29-year-old woman, who deputies found dead on the scene “from an apparent gunshot wound,” had been shopping with the toddler and other family members, Miller said.

The shooting “appears to be accidental” and authorities will identify the woman after her family has been notified, Miller said.

Authorities on the scene said three other children were with the woman, and that she had a permit for her concealed weapon, CBS affiliate KREM reported.

The woman was visiting from out of town, and the shooting took place as she was in the electronics section of the Wal-Mart in Hayden, ABC affiliate KXLY reported.

The store in northern Idaho was evacuated after the shooting, and Miller said it will remain closed until Wednesday morning.

“A very sad incident occurred at our store today involving the death of a female customer,” Wal-Mart said in a statement, KREM reported. “We are fully cooperating with the Kootenai County Sheriff’s deputies as they investigate this matter.”

Although accidental shootings by children do happen in the United States, there isn’t comprehensive data showing how often they occur, The Post has previously reported.

Well hey, at least you are ok with paracide, and kids living with death as a mistake.

You are SO LIBERAL!
I bet all your liberal buddies look up to you.

I'm glad you advocate for the accidental murder of people.
It shows your true self.
As well as those like you.

Enlighten me!

What is the reason to carry a loaded gun into a WM, on a family shopping trip, weekday morning?

If ID is that unsafe, in daytime during the week no less, we just need to call in the Army/ Reserve to restore law and order!

Obviously that is not a job to be entrusted to a 29-year old.

And spare me the right to carry arms shit. She had the right, exercised it, died for it! You think she would make a different choice, given a second chance?


P.S.: The real victim is the toddler. Who you and your buddies sacrifice on the altar of the second amendment. SHAME ON YOU!

Those chocolate eggs are way too dangerous.

Of course, a bullet is the same size as one of the toys found inside the eggs.

Go figure!

P.S.: Nobody has ever died from a toy-filled chocolate egg. But they are illegal in the US. Bullets, on the other hand, are perfectly acceptable.

TS.

You and your ilk are being evasive.

Why does a 29-yr old need to carry a gun, on a weekday morning, on a family shopping trip to WM?

I am awaiting your answer!

Also, you think she happily died exercising her second amendment rights? Or you think she would reconsider now and rather live another day?

I am awaiting your answer!

No Paul, I'm apparently a moron and didn't understand that.

She doesn't need to. She chooses to. Just as people sometimes drive when it's less than a mile to go somewhere and it's pretty out, or they have a drink of wine, or any one of a number of other non-mandatory things. They bounce skydiving, too.

And she would be one of the prices of how some people define freedom. One discussion is whether the price is too high. That's a very valid discussion. There's disagreement, but this is part of that price.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

[mpohl 1]

I think you trying to make a connection between skydiving (freedom to bounce) and carrying guns (freedom to what?), is a stretch.

Actually it is more than a stretch. Jumping out of an airplane for personal fulfillment and accepting the associated risks. That's very different from carrying a tool whose only intended purpose is to kill and maim.

Do you understand the concept of emergency equipment that is carried when there is no expectation of immediate need?
Examples:
- Smoke detectors
- Fire Extinguishers
- Reserve parachutes
- Hook knives
- Aircraft flotation devices
- Emergency O2
- Automotive air bags
- Spare tires

I would ask if you had read any further than that sentence in your link, but let's start with, "Did you read all the way to the end of that sentence from your link?"

...apologizing in advance for being a smart-ass. I generally don't like spiraling conversations into the ground, but have I really not been posting here long enough that I get these kinds of responses from regulars to a post like the one I made above?

[mpohl 1]

So, what you are saying is that she was carrying a smoke detector, fire extinguisher, and all the other shit you listed while visiting the WM?

Did I get that right????

If not, please refer to my post Dec 30, @5:47, and just answer those two, simple questions. Before engaging in further discussion.

Me and my Ilk. . . you mean the ones that actually do have a heart and wish that this tragedy never happened?

Y know, just for educational purposes, I almost wish this was a close family member of yours, and see what you would post then. (Almost . . . but I don't need to have that happen, I already feel sorry enough for you.)

As for her motivation . . . well lets see, how much speculation do you intend on needing?

Perhaps her uncle is a mean drunk and she pissed him off by taking her own money, that he steals and uses for his booze, to buy diapers for her baby, and she heard that he was on a rampage and looking for her.

Is that enough conjecture?

Here's more . . .

What if she was a target for a serial rapist? The cops didn't believe her, but she wasn't going to let that happen again.

Another . . .

Her ex boyfriend is stalking her, has left death threats . . . she still needs to feed and clothe the baby and no one left for her to watch the kid, since she lost her job because of the stalking incidents.

yet some more . . . she wanted to carry that pistol just as bad as you wanted to drive your car that a child ran out in front of without time to stop, but that kid is dead instead of you, but I would still feel sorry for you, regardless if the child lived or not.

Your homework is to find out where she lived, what her neighbors are like, who her ex's are, and live her life for , say the last three to five years, then tell me why she should have NOT been carrying a gun.

Until then, shut it.
ETA: Why ARE you doing the happy dance that this woman was shot and killed anyway? What does that say to you about your own true character?

With that kind of outlook on the world.
Please get some help. And I hope you never carry a gun.

SICK!

P.S.: You still owe me an answer: You think she died happily? Protecting our second amendment rights? Or do you think that by now, she'd only wished to have lived another day?

Because when you are dead, you are dead.

What an ignorant question.

Why don't you ask Bob Holler's friends if he would rather do that jump over, or if maybe he should have pulled a little higher.

I'm sure you would take back any mistakes you made that involved death, or would you?

I wonder.

And here is WHY I wonder:

I cannot believe you are condoning children shooting their parents, THAT is sick.
