    Heading out to the supermarket, better not forget my gun!

    Sad set of circumstances but another example of the ludicrousness of feeling protected by bringing a gun everywhere.

    I remember my first time in the states. I was walking around a walmart in Fort Pierce, Florida after arriving a few hours earlier which is by no means a nice place. Anyway I was utterly shocked to see a guy beside me with a trolly out shopping with the wife and wearing a holster with a gun in it. That made me feel uneasy. Over the next few weeks I got used to seeing that kind of thing.

    If the police were there would the appropriate response be to gun down the child

    Two year old takes gun from his mothers purse and shoots her dead in walmart. Very sad but doesn't suprise me on the country.

    Edit: Woman has not been confirmed has the boys mother.

    Mods. Can the thread title be changed?

    I was in america for thanksgiving. We were at a house watching a football game


    The next day a hunter missed a shot and a slug went straight through the window into the wall.

    In Ireland you find said hunter and kick his face off. In America, it amounted to a strong finger wagging exercise

    Strange culture. I don't understand the way Americans like to wear guns so publicly.

    Well no ones going to mess with you if your strapped. I believe in Alabama you can go anywhere with your gun as long as its visible.

    Personally if I lived in America I'd keep a gun in the house for defense but I wouldn't carry one around with me.

    You'd have to protect yourself from angry spelling pedants like me.

    Paranoia is widespread. The arms business must be absolutely booming in the US.

    Some of the posts here so far look like first page After Hours template replies to any topic concerning the States.

    Do people race each other to be the first ones to post the same thing each time?

    Awful, but I feel much more sorry for the child than the woman. If it's the child's mother all the more so.

    Leaving a loaded gun with the safety off really is dicing with death.

    Hope he pulls through. Scum, he'd probably be arrested and charged over here.

    Not me.

    But then I'd already read about the incident elsewhere so I already knew where it happened.

    and rightly so, he'd deserve it. if you practice violence, then to jail you deserve to go.

    I'm very highly educated. I know words, i have the best words, nobody has better words then me.
