Two year old accidentally fires father's gun in fast food restaurant. Yes people were hurt.

Courtesy of Alternet: 

Alas, another tragic tale involving a gun in the hands of a child. This time in Middleburg, Florida where a two-year-old sheriff deputy’s son accidently fired his daddy’s gun in a Wendy’s restaurant injuring himself and others around him, the Florida Times-Union reported. 

The boy’s father, Sargent Matthew Magish said he was standing in the line at Wendy’s when his son “stuck his hand in his pocket looking for a snack.” Unbeknownst to the toddler, Sgt. Magish had a personal semiautomatic pistol in his pants pocket, which discharged after his son grabbed it inside his pocket. 

As the bullet hit the floor, fragments bounced off and struck the two-year-old in the foot as well as injuring the boy’s grandfather and two nearby female customers who were hit with fragments.

Yes when you bring firearms into restaurants, schools, and shopping areas there is an increased risk of somebody being shot.

Even when the owner of that weapon is a cop. 

You know that seems to me like something that should not have to be explained.

  1. I know nothing about guns, other than that I hate them, but don't handguns have some sort of safety? And why would a cop put a loaded, unlocked gun, in his POCKET? I can understand a Ducker or a Palin doing something like that, but a trained cop? Too bad the kid's bullet didn't ricochet and make sure the dad was sterile.

      In general, the safety on a gun requires an additional item... the use of one's brain.

      I never heard of a kid reaching into their parent's pocket looking for a snack. If this child typically did this, why would dad keep a loaded gun in his "snack pocket" -- and why would the kid need a snack when they were in line to get food at Wendy's?

    OT and FYI-- the Hillbilly Big Bash Blitz was just mentioned on Bill Press--complete with the (nothing says White Trash like a...) stretch Hummer, Bristol, Tawdry, Track running around shirtless and SP screeching "Don't you know who I am??" Bill and the crew thought it was HYSTERICAL, and mentioned that O'Reilly never asked her about it last night (duh). Cat's out of the bag now--bet Stephanie Miller has a ball with this later!

      Part 2; Bill Press just used the story as his Parting Shot for the day...he called her "Queen Sarah" and "White Trash", mentioned the police report, that there was "alcohol involved...no kidding!" and asked everyone to "thank" John McCain for unleashing SP on the country. Good times!!

  3. Gun carriers are dangerous as hell in this country.

    And of course there was the Utah teacher who
    accidentally shot herself in the bathroom of the school that allowed "trained" staff to carry weapons. It seems no one in this country is trained enough--obviously not even law enforcement.

    I dismiss entirely the rumors that the gun actually discharged while the gentleman had his own hand in his pocket surreptitiously stroking his glock.

    Or do I?

      I don’t think Sarah had an event on the 6th. She would’ve flown home by the 6th. I mean, the whole family and dozens of others threw him a surprise party.

      So the troll told the truth for once!

    Alaska Riot Exposes White Culture of Lawlessness, Violence

    "It’s something to hear when Sarah screams, 'Don’t you know who I am!' And it was particularly wonderful when someone in the crowd screamed back, 'This isn’t some damned Hillbilly reality show!'"

    The Army today has awarded "Combat Action Badges" to Todd, Track, Bristol and Sarah Palin for action against a hostile enemy during the Palin Ho Down battle.

    Toad and Track additionally were awarded Purple Heart medals. They bled for our freedom.

    Oh, before the day is over the spin will be that the Palins were "attacked", and what father/brother/mother/sister worth their salt wouldn't fight back.

    Here's an irony for Ms. Palin, who continually accuses President Obama of not doing more to kill those who SHE perceives to be America's enemies (hint: those who are different from us, but who have not inflicted any harm on American soil). Yet, when SHE is striking out against her own personal perceived enemies, she uses the tool of verbal castration as a tool. Well, at least while the cameras are rolling: in private, as we now know, she also uses violence and would resort to bloodshed.

    On the other hand, President Obama, who shows by his actions that he values life, has chosen whenever possible to not shed unnecessary blood, including the blood of our American soldiers. In fact, he recently went to great lengths to rescue an American soldier, something for which Palin and her friends think should be grounds for impeachment. (In a recent case, in Palin's opinion, he didn't go far ENOUGH, ALSO, in her opinion, grounds for impeachment: can't win with this harpy.) In addition, the President has chosen to strategically and economically castrate our enemies when and where possible, thus making it extremely difficult, or even impossible, for them to inflict harm on us. In fact, this is what he is doing right now with Vladimir Putin.

    Ms. Palin is in effect ridiculing President Obama for following the teachings of Jesus. Yes, THAT is how evil she is; and THAT is the depth to which she will stoop.

    Note to self : "Self, never carry your gun and snacks in the same pocket because "accidents happen" when your child is used to rooting in your pocket for "snacks" in the first place (ewww yuck).

    It's no accident, folks. it's "stuff happens when a loaded gun's within a child's reach.

    Note to self": "Self, never carry a loaded gun in your pocket when you train your kid to root through your pocket for snacks" Eww, btw,

    It's not an accident, it's what happens when a loaded gun's in a kid's reach.
