Jamie Gilt: Mom Shot By Toddler Could Be Heading To Jail
I am a huge 2nd amendment rights advocate that strongly believes in treating guns like weapons and not toys. Safety, especially when around children, should be taken at every measure and without failure. I'm just happy that the mother survived but fear for the psychological trauma that could go to her son as he grows up knowing he shot his mother.
What kind of punishment do you think Jamie Gilt should face (if any)? Should she be allowed to have guns? Should she serve time?
Jamie Gilt: Mom Shot By Toddler Could Be Heading To Jail
“… Jamie placed the gun… under the front seat of the truck… the gun apparently slid back to the rear floorboard, below where her four-year-old son was seated in a booster seat. According to family members, the child recently learned to unbuckle his seatbelt. Investigators discovered the child removed himself from the seat, presumably to grab a toy from the floorboard, saw the gun, picked it up and accidentally fired through the rear of the driver seat… The bullet struck [Jamie] in the back and exited through her chest.”
