Remember accidental shooting in League City Texas?

[Dan the Man]

Just before the New Year, a two year old was accidentally shot when a guest in the house bent down and his gun accidentally fired (it was in his pocket). The bullet struck him in the hand and the baby in the shoulder.

I have some additional info. The pistol was a 'derringer type' pistol. The 'shooter' (and I use that term VERY loosely) has been arrested for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and child endangerment. The felony child endangerment charge can result in incarceration for up to 99 years ( ).

In addition, the child's father was arrested and charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Apparently when the police responded, they found him with a gun also. :banghead:

I have much sympathy for the two year old; I expect it will be tough to grow up in a family environment full of armed convicted felons.

If the justice system works the way it's supposed to, he'll grow to young manhood in the absence of his two felonious relatives.

listen the child is the victim

Well, I don't think anybody is debating that point 赤悪魔, they are just saying that the child will now have a chance to grow up with out the influence of two Bozo's around.

and people who thing texas is it own country

Well, I'm not from Texas, but there is some debate about its inclusion into The Union. From the limited material I've found, its a bit questionable.

The pistol was a 'derringer type' pistol.

What, let me guess, it was one of those derringers that has an exposed trigger when cocked, with no guard around it, right? :banghead:

Well whata ya waitin' for? Come on home where ya belong! I'm assuming you're not a tough little blonde, a felon, a meth head, or someone who thinks Texas is its own country, but I'm sure you'll fit in otherwise.

That post was as clearcut a case of "Trollism" as I've ever seen on any real gun board. I assume that the software lets somebody register without using any letters of the alphabet but it does look weird. Was that the "entertainer formerly known as Prince"?

Let's hear it for pocket carry and the wisdom of the gun shoppe!

"It's all you need!" "It's always worked for me!" "All you need to do is put the gun in your pocket!"

El Tejon: No, pocket carry is dangerous to you and others and is just plain irresponsible. And a silly California Z gun (I'll bet) derringer to top it off. :banghead:

Hopefully we learn from this and stop the dangerous practice of putting gun in our pockets.

Two felons fooling around with firearms isn't a so-called "accident." It's a pair of federal and state felonies.
