A Florida woman is in trouble because her kid showed up at school with her Lorcin L-25.
Her five year old kid.
The child doesn't seem to have had much nefarious intent, no ammunition was found with the gun.
She's being charged with violating the safe storage laws and child neglect.
Oops!
I've got mixed feelings about the laws about safe storage. I think you should make every reasonable attempt to keep the kids and guns separated while there's no adult present as a matter of being a responsible parent.
I don't like making it illegal to fail in that effort. At least not criminal.
I guess the neglect charge is a, "well if you'd been paying attention the child would never have gotten to the poorly stored gun."
I really hate blanket charges like that. Vague laws make for bad arrests.
