But of course it was her fault, but to dismiss the fact had she not a loaded gun in her purse, she'd be alive today raising her 3 kids. Guns rarely kill intended targets is my point.That was her fault not the guns. Sorry about your cousin.I do have to agree, if that picture is for real it is totally inappropriate and stupid of the family to let people know they are packing.

How many ounces you think they're packing?
My brother carries a concealled weapon everywhere he goes. I often ask what he is afraid of happening. He doesn't have a lot of cash and doesn't dress as someone who would. But knowing that fact what if he did have something a person wanted to take? What would they do? Shoot first and ask questions later? Not let him get the drop on folks? Better they don't know, or think he doesn't carry.
A friend of mine collected guns and talked all bad ass about if someone broke in and tried to take his guns. They did and he lost his collection. Would have been stupid breaking in when he was home, so they didn't.
I had a cousin who carried a pistol around in her purse loaded....one day she slammed her purse on the lid of her car and it blew a hole through her face killing her instantly. The only person she couldn't protect, was herself. Guns are dangerous, they have no eyes on their intended targets and all to often, the victims turn out to be the gun owners themselves or family members and that is fact.....of the responsible gun owner.
Wrong...in a country of over 320 million people there were exactly 505 accidental gun deaths in 2013....and that is with 13 million people carrying guns for self defense......
Try making that into a % and tell me how much of a problem that is....
