This is a sad and tragic story. The guest left the gun in the car to hopefully keep it out of the wrong hands and keep it secured from anyone in the house. It may have been better off keeping it on his person. How did the little girl make it to the guest vehicle which was outside parked? A lot of details still to come out in this incident. I pray for healing during this time. These families will be broken.

I once had a sobering incident with a child who gained access to a firearm while I was driving. It turned into an educational moment for both of us, but it could have gone this way if I had not taken some prior precautions. Scary.

If you are going to leave an unsecured firearm in the car at least lock the doors!

Sad that a young girl lost her life.

Even sadder how this incident can change one’s personal view of guns.
