Father forgot he put gun in his son's backpack. He was arrested for what he did next.

Ma'am, every law-abiding gun owner could be cherubic choir boys, models of safety, etc., and they would still come for our guns inch by inch until they take all 63,360 inches. Don't kid yourself.

Which of the four rules of gun safety was broken here?

4(a) Try not to be a dumbass

I have been a violator before. Still doesn't stop me from pointing out the violations of others.

But do you demand they should have their guns taken away? Or stripped of other rights?

ETA: pointing out a violation is a good. We learn from mistakes, either our own or of others. I think that's different than throwing the book at someone over a slip up, the same as if they'd done great harm or threatened to, etc.

Kind of my point. We should not crucify him, but should use his dumbassedness (yes, that's a word) to illustrate a negative example.

Odd story. There is more here.

As to people who shouldn't own firearms...? I will defend there right. That being said there are some full retards out there that have firearms, who have no business or clue. We have people shooting into neighborhoods, toward houses and threatening to shoot bears (who live in town) because they get in their trash.

I know, off topic but stupid goes a long way.

Tar and feather, ride out of town on a rail, public humiliation... I see them as viable uses. Consequences for actions.

For the record, I think this guy is dumb for how he retrieved the gun. He is probably dumb for putting it into the backpack in the first, but we don't have enough information for that part. The news article makes it sound like he placed the gun there on the way to school, which makes little sense. I've had the whole left a gun in a kids backpack happen in my family before. Backpack was used for a hike over the weekend and gun got left inside. It was retrieved without incident.

Get it but dropping it into the kid's pack before school? Don't get it. I have dedicated bags for firearms an accessories. That is so the TSA/number alphabet agencies don't ever have to get involved.

But it was a gun free zone.

Regardless of why the pistiol was in the pack, He should have grabbed the pack, said have a nice day and got the f outa there.
