This one's already big on ratskep. Something isn't right here. Security guard boyfriend's gun and car, neither kid in a car seat, first reports had another adult in the car. What numbnuts leaves a weapon in his car in the first place, let alone when his girlfriend is going to borrow it to drive two toddlers around? A supposedly professional, trained numbnuts at that. Then, how exactly does a two year old even fire a .40 caliber? Was a loaded, cocked, unsafed gun in a car with kids crawling around? There is no way a two year old is going the rack the slide on an automatic, and I'm skeptical one could even pull the trigger on a double action revolver. And a single action you'd have to pull back the hammer first. Hell, Mrs. Lak struggles with all three and she's a trained adult. Try that with little two year old hands. Now they're reporting that the gun was in a holster and gun belt on the floor in front of the passenger seat where the dim bint put the one year old. You couldn't miss a gun belt and holster on the floor, could you? It's not like you didn't see a cigarette lighter or a chip wrapper, it's a goddamn .40 caliber handgun in a gun belt and holster. How stupid are you to leave a fucking gun lying in the floor of a car when your kids aren't even strapped into a car seat? Then, somehow, the gun magically slides out from under the driver's seat and the kid in the back picks it up. How'd it manage that? Take itself out of a holster, jump over to the other side of the car, load, cock and unsafe itself, then slide into the kid's hand? Ever drop something under the front passenger seat? Did it ever do something like that? In all my years of owning, handling, transporting, and shooting guns not a one of them ever showed any signs of sentience or independent action. Nah I ain't buying it, somebody ain't tellin something.

None of which would have mattered if the gun hadn't been present in the first place.

It's called the Darwin Awards. Sometimes you get a second chance, sometimes you don't
