HANDS-ON GUN SAFETY LESSON

A 12-year-old Florida girl was shot in the arm by her gun safety-teaching father

Most of us gun owners believe in teaching gun safety to our young children and that is exactly what an ex-Marine in Davie, Florida did Sunday night.

Davie police Sgt. Pablo Castaneda reports that the unnamed father was showing his 12-year-old daughter how to safely draw a gun from his pocket when the firearm discharged, wounding the girl in the arm.

The girl was treated at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital. So far the father has not been charged with any crime, but the case is being sent the prosecutor’s office for review.

Now this is a gun safety lesson that young lady will never forget. It would appear that the gun safety teacher is in dire need of some gun safety lessons himself.

Clearly he forgot rule #1. KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER until you are lined up on your target. (Assuming of course that he did not intend to shoot his daughter.)

So, the daughter was in front of this idiot as he demonstrated the quick draw?

I would check to see how many beer cans were in the waste basket.
