I read over a brief news article, www.KOCO.com .
In Texas, a father & his 5 year old son went to a local Bass Pro Shop prior to going to a concert.
The dad reportedly took off his CCW pistol while in a store dressing room.
The child picked up the loaded firearm & fired 2 rounds.
The boy & the father were both hurt in the incident. The brand & caliber of the firearm was not listed.
The lesson here is to not have small children near loaded guns even briefly if possible. It can be difficult but the results can be tragic if a child grabs a loaded gun.
If it were me, I wouldn't buy any clothes or try stuff on unless I had another adult who could supervise the kid(s).
I'm not going to speculate on what the father may or may not of taught his young son about firearms either but this incident should be a lesson to other parents/grandparents with CCWs.
