Tragic that this woman would be this careless...

Thank Heavens the child is still alive! I don't think purse carry is wise at all...

COLUMBIA, S.C. — A 4-year-old girl grabbed her grandmother's gun and shot herself at a Sam's Club store in Columbia, S.C., authorities said.

Police Department spokesman Brick Lewis said the child took the gun from her grandmother's purse Monday and shot herself in the chest.

He said the child's grandmother has a valid permit to carry a concealed weapon. She has not been charged with a crime.

Lewis said the child was rushed to a local hospital and was recovering after undergoing emergency surgery. Hospital officials wouldn't release her condition.

The store was closed while police investigated the shooting. It reopened Monday afternoon.

grrr.....

always keep control of your weapon, if it is in your purse, your purse doesn't leave your side for any reason

and be damned if someone else is going to rummage through it.

I don't see how this could be anything but negligence on part of the woman, even though we don't have all of the details.

I agree. If the story is anywhere closeto accurate then it would appear that the Grandmother is negligent.

Although the child's condition was not released, it does say that she's recovering. Let's pray for a quick recovery.
