Still more evidence that guns don’t make us safer: Toddler shoots, kills mom at Idaho Wal-Mart
A woman shopping at a Wal-Mart in Hayden, Idaho was killed today when one the children she had in tow with her (a two-year old) reached into her purse, pulled out her handgun, and fatally shot her. Other news reports indicate the woman had a concealed weapons permit for the firearm. Regardless, research has documented that gun ownership makes families less safe. The truth is, guns are more likely to be used against their owners than against some intruder or external threat.
