Basic gun safety 101 needs to always be applied.

Completely preventable. That's the worst part. He'll have to live with it the rest of his life.

We've got a little saying down in the 909. "If it's brown, drink it down. If it's black, send it back."

On a far more serious note, very sad a toddler had to suffer as a result of his father's neglegence. Personally, I don't know how I could live with myself after something like that.

#1 rule of owning firearms-------TREAT EVERY FIREARM AS IF ITS LOADED..even the ones that you checked/double checked/triple checked/disassembled/etc....complacency is the first sign of future negligence.

Exactly, very sad and preventable. At least it wasn't reported as a cleaning accident.

[ro442173]

OMG. As a father, I am appalled.

[rockman]

What a idiot, what part of a unloaded gun didn't he understand. Glad no more damage was done!

Agreed.

The things people do now a days, this way very preventable only if the father followed the basic rules,
