lord_seagrave Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Accidents do happen, but if any reminder regarding basic precautions be required:- Toddler shot with airgun critical Thoughts are with the family of course. LS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveieP Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Tragic accident, but you gotta question the wisdom of using a gun with kids in the vicinity, let alone leaving it unattended to take a phone call. Trouble is it then leads to calls for tighter licensing etc (which I'm not against) but which wouldn't have prevented this kind of occurance anyway. Even my understanding wife asked "could your gun/s do that" such is the shock value on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dustyfox Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 You wouldn't leave a plastic bag or a small object that could be swallowed or suffocate the toddler. Same with a rifle. What was he using as Target practice inside the house? As it wouldnt of been loaded if it wasnt being used inside. Can any of you's guess when a licensing law for air rifles will come in? I give it less than 2 years. Df Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
