The 2 year old will be told when older that he/she killed his/her own mother and have to live with it for the rest of their life. Who's responsible for that.

The two year old may or may not even remember it. How much do you remember from age 2? If they told in the right way it may not affect them badly. On the flip side, it is possible they will remember it.
Again, it is a sad tragedy.

You know, I wondered whether a two year old would remember that event or not. I have to imagine it'd be pretty traumatic to have been party to that event, regardless of one's role as shooter or nearby observer. I wonder if it's sufficiently disturbing that it'd permanently etch on a two year old's memory. I don't know....
I do know that I don't recall anything from when I was two, at least not in such a way that I equate it with the time I was that age. I can remember looking at clouds from an airplane window, and I know now that I was three at the time, but I know that only because of our family photo albums and such.
I think, however, the real trauma for a two year old who shot its mother would come when they are older and can understand what they did. There too, though, I'm just speculating.
This happened in December 2014, any particular reason we're discussing it almost sixteen months after the fact?
Her "crime" was to not hold on to her purse, right? She probably has a habit of placing it in the cart. You can't control that all the time.
This perhaps the most ignorant comment in this thread.
If you put a gun in your purse, you GOD damn well better control it all the time.
The mother is to blame. If anyone disagrees, you're just plain wrong.
The gun owner is ultimately responsible for the disposition of their firearm at all times. This is part of the reason I don't believe in off-body carry. It's much less secure than carrying on your person.

How many tragedies will this incident prevent in the future? Possibly thousands if it becomes household information. Considering it happened at Wal-Mart, it has a great chance.

The child will suffer infinitely more and share the guilt if his or her mother is made into some kind of villain.
As a gun owner/carrier you, and you alone, are reponsible for said gun and what happens to/with it. For whatever reason this woman irresponsibly left a gun within the reach of a toddler. As a father of a similarily aged child, I would never allow such a thing to happen. Heck, I wouldn't even allow my child to see a gun if I could help it. Not at that age. There is noone alive that is responsible for this tragedy.(Reuters) - A woman was accidentally shot and killed at a Walmart store in northern Idaho on Tuesday when her 2-year-old son pulled a loaded handgun from her purse that then went off, a county sheriff said.
The 29-year-old woman was shopping at a Walmart in Hayden, Idaho, with the toddler seated in her shopping cart when the incident occurred, Kootenai County Sheriff Ben Wolfinger said in a written statement.
Who (if anyone) is responsible for this poor woman's death?

So you are saying the woman who was killed by a 2 year old, carrying a loaded pistol with the safety off and the hammer down, is a perfectly responsible gun owner.Kinda think something is being made out of nothing. Overall it was an accident. We all know the definition of that.
Fascinating.
Or if we required people to know wtf they're doing when they own a gun, this wouldn't happen. Instead it happens all the time.So you are saying the woman who was killed by a 2 year old, carrying a loaded pistol with the safety off and the hammer down, is a perfectly responsible gun owner.Kinda think something is being made out of nothing.

If we didn't have these tragic mistakes, gun owners everywhere wouldn't learn from her lesson.
Do you think she was responsible?So you are saying the woman who was killed by a 2 year old, carrying a loaded pistol with the safety off and the hammer down, is a perfectly responsible gun owner.Kinda think something is being made out of nothing.

It appears you are looking to fight. No thanks.
SO You think she did it on purpose so her child would kill her. Alrighty.
Have you ever taken a gun course?
I think it was an accident. I can't find where it said the safety was off and hammer down.
No, I have not taken a gun course, but am giving my opinion off of what I am reading. And common sense.
Even I would know not to have the safety off and hammer down. Is that how it was?

How do you know which pistol she had?
Only women can carry off-body. Is this an indictment of women?
Probably not, seeing as how she's dead.The child could have killed a bystander instead of the woman, for which she would have clearly been responsible.
I doubt a jury would convict her of anything.
If I carried a gun and had a toddler, I'd have it in a holster on my body where little fingers couldn't get at it. I also wouldn't own a gun without a safety if I had a little one.The gun owner is ultimately responsible for the disposition of their firearm at all times. This is part of the reason I don't believe in off-body carry. It's much less secure than carrying on your person.
