Pistol found in backpack at daycare

Thanks, Len. My most important assertion from the start: “I could be wrong, but...”
 
One of the interesting things about certain kinds of mistake. Ther person who makes such a mistake becomes one of the least likely person to ever make that mistake again, but the system treats them like they are more likely to.

I had a medical tech screw something up and I lost some blood. The facility offered to ban that person from ever attending to me again. I told the manager "Why would I want that? He is the one person on your staff who will never make that mistake again."

Great post except one thing. If the "person" is the government, they'll make that mistake again.
 
Maybe Dad and lad have matching backpacks. LOL


Here two:

Dad is driving to daycare, child vomits or has the old poop up the back. Dad stops in a busy place to clean up child. He does this leaning into car and is carrying IWB on his back. Because he lives in a state where people are giant pussies, he pulls the gun off so people walking by don't see it while hes bent over in the car cleaning up poop or vomit. He puts it in the most convenient place, the bag hes digging through for wipes and spare kid clothes. After spending 15min doing this hes late and in his rush to get kid to daycare and get to work ontime he forgets the gun.

Second random situation. Hes on the way to daycare but has to go into a post office. He can't bring his gun in there becuase hes a law abiding gun owner. Hes getting child out to carry him in the post office because hes a responsible parent who doesn't leave babies in cars unattended. He places the gun in the closest thing to the car seat while getting the baby out, the backpack. He has to wait in line at the post office, his kid is upset and screaming the whole time. He gets back in car and because of calming the kid he forgets the gun was in the bag.

How many more innocuous situations where children distract parents would you like me to post? Because babies/toddlers have thousands of ways of making parents forget things. I have three kids, any idea how many times I've burnt dinner because a kid puked or pooped all over the place, or was screaming bloody murder for little to no reason?

In both of the scenarios you have described as well as what would be applicable to any others, I would place my weapon in the lock box I keep in my vehicle. Under no circumstances would I ever place a weapon into a bag for "convenience".

IMO the scenarios or any others you could come up with would never justify the actions of placing a firearm into a diaper bag. And if no lock box were present, then perhaps placing under the seat of the car, but even that would not be wise or legal.

You never put a gun in a bag on way to the range?

We don't know it was a diaper bag. Kids over the age of 2 usually bring backpacks, and not necessarily Spider-Man or Pikachu bags, my kids have generic looking bags. He probably put his gun in the wrong bag.
 
Although I could see some Mass Marsupial judge trying to twist the law to meet their political agenda, this wouldn't stand up.

You have WAAAY too much faith in the judicial system. The poor slob will be offered a deal where he becomes a prohibited person but avoids jail and waives his right to appeal.

Sadly true. I was addressing it from the point of view of an appellate court maybe 5 yrs after the initial arrest. :(

Of course and the process I follow goes something like this: weapon(s) come out of safe(s), weapon(s) have trigger locks added, weapon(s) go into a range bag, and range bag goes into the trunk. At no time have I ever placed a weapon in my children's diaper bag, backpack or any other bag other than what was intended.

We don't know it was a diaper bag. Kids over the age of 2 usually bring backpacks, and not necessarily Spider-Man or Pikachu bags, my kids have generic looking bags. He probably put his gun in the wrong bag.

Regardless of it being a diaper bag, backpack, or any sort of bag, the fact he placed a weapon into the "wrong" bag validates he wasn't paying attention.
 
I'm not saying it wasn't a mistake. But to think he should have his kid kicked out and get his rights revoked is insane overreach. Does anyone think he'll let it happen again?

But hey ITS FOR THE CHILDREN RIGHT??
He's irresponsible at heart to even let this happen, common sense out the window, these people never learn.
I mean, to leave the gun in a diaper bag?..lol I cant even fathom why he thought that was remotely ok. The level of idiocy is off the charts. He gets whatever he deserves.
We all make mistakes, no doubt. But some have massive consequences.
Let's say a kid was shot or it was your kid that ate the bullet. I'd love to see how well you deal with the guilt, and the embarrassment at the funeral and wake knowing everyone knows you were the soul reason for your kids death, or someone else's kids death.
Nothing happened so it's easy to brush it off, but the consequences are life changing.
And if it did happen to someone I knew, I'd have ZERO remorse.

Glad I don’t know you. Glad I never will and do not come on my property.

ETA: May God have mercy on your soul. May you never find yourself in this situation. But you’re still never welcome on any of my properties. Can’t be trusted.
 
If a child dies because of an accidental drowning, should the parents be banned from ever having kids again? Should their other children be taken from them?

O ya I am sure he is up set about that lol... he’s calling it like it is. And u are upset about that, not sure why tho

I guess you are ok with loading a pistol and leaving it in a daycare and walking away ?? Because that’s what that guy pretty much did, whatever happens to him he deserves

Are those my only choices? Yout choices of consequences are majorly exaggerated, and I'm guessing thats for dramatic effect.
How about a huge fine and or maybe or short stint in the local penitentiary?
Accidents happen, but some deserve consequences.
I mean If a refrigerator fell out of the back of my pick up truck on the way to the dump and I killed a family of 3 out for a Sunday drive, I think I'm going to be screwed.

Your idle threats are just forum tuff talk, good stuff though.
Anyway....
The father should be thanking God for letting an adult find the gun first.
Let us pray....Amen.
 
No one has suggested it was "Ok" so you can bury that straw man/dishonest assertion right off.

The difference between the stasi on the forum and the rest of us is that we understand that people do in point of fact make mistakes and that they shouldnt be sent to the gas chamber for a mistake where no one was harmed
Well it seems like you’re over exaggerating with the gas chamber comment I don’t think anybody said he deserves the gas chamber or jail time

Who said gas chamber?
Jails and fines are still used arent they?
And no one died so neither of these are necessary. But he shouldnt walk away with no consequences in either situation.
 
Part of the problem here is the MA legal system imbues "cuz guns" with an unparalleled level of faggotry surrounding it.

Let's turn this on the end a bit. If this was a car thing, this would be a guy who had a senior moment and went down the wrong ramp onto the highway and was facing the wrong direction, saw people oncoming and then stopped and buried his car safely in the BDL. Nobody got hurt/killed (or even came close, other than save being alarmed by seeing a car facing the wrong way in the BDL. kopsch come, figure out hes not drinking, medically f***ed up, etc, and then cite him for (insert some generic catch all here for improper operation of MV) give him a bit of a lecture, then help him safely get the car off the highway after figuring out he's just a dotard who had a severe momentary lapse of reason, ding, fries be done.

But, in this case, because gun, everyone totally loses their f***ing minds and kopsch lay down the felonies on a platter and then DYCFLMNOPQ gets roped in and loses their shit too, and it turns into a big conflagration with the only net result being some guy's life is all f***ed up because he made a "big mistake, that, while potentially disastrous, harmed nobody. " Rob brought up a fun point in a roundabout way earlier in the thread.... It's pretty obvious with most people, that nobody would "do this on purpose". There's not likely criminal intent here. It's not like when the kopsch showed up the guy said something like "oh ha ha! you guys found it! I just threw that gun in juniors bag to see if I could get a rise out of the broads at daycare when they found it, looks like it worked!!!!"

I don't even have a problem with the state administering LIMITED (as in like, not rights-depriving!) punishment for this level of negligence. I just think the typical "MA way" is full retard, over the top, irrational, sensationalist, alarmist crap. This guy f***s up, and everyone is now acting like his son carried some nuclear fuel pellets into the school and irradiated all the other children to harmful levels. Or he was carrying a can of ebola juice and it leaked in the backpack or something.

I think if this happened in some other state, daycare would have called kopsch/sheriff, they pick the gun up and then the daycare called the parent
and told them their kid was "done" at said daycare because of the gun found in his backpack, parent has to go to sheriff to pick his gun up, who then precedes to politely tear him a new a**h*** because of the level of the mistake, and then gives him his gun back. The end. But because this is
mass, and it involves a gun, everyone is obliged to go FULL RETARD. [laugh]

Totally agree with mass full retard.
But letting him off completely seems lienent. Maybe a fine ? Idk something. I mean he may as well have put it in the kids toy box, I think it was epically close to seriously bad things happening.
Slap on the wrists are part of why we have kids who have zero respect for authority. If hes dumb enough to do it once....
 
Hey, with the dopes throwing around the "Statist" word at anyone they disagree with, doesn't it lose it's meaning just like when the libtards shriek RACIST at anyone that disagrees with them? Rather be a "statist" than an apologist for a MORAN that jams a loaded handgun in a toddlers backpack and leaves it at a daycare. You anti-statists are OKing a move that has cost gun rights support across the nation.

Exaclty. My difference of opinion was unacceptable to him and I had idle threats thrown at me. Seems very leftish.
Even before this thread, I never had plans to step on his lawn, so he never had to worry.
He must be waiting in the windows for trespassers.
 
I think everyone’s made their points here.

We all know this oaf was being irresponsible. Where folks differ is in the desired response, ranging from "throw the book at him" to "meh. Ignore the gun." Both those extremes are silly, I think, but I doubt we'll agree on what "should happen." Soon enough, we'll find out what happens in the real world.

100% agree
 
I have a hard time understanding how one negligently places a firearm in a child’s backpack. Completely different bags than regular backpacks. How the Hell does one mix up bags and not notice when packing the child’s other belongings into the bag.
O

Or a perfect setup for a wife planning on divorce and going for full custody.
Never underestimate the lengths a "wronged" woman will go to.
I'm going with this scenario. I have several guns and will admit that more than once I have gone to one of the safes and found a gun not there and had to look for it. I have always found it somewhere that makes sense -- locked in the trunk from a range trip where I did not go home -- Sitting under the workbench where I was working/cleaning it --- Still in the range bag in the living room etc. Why would a gun be in a babies backpack?

A few weeks ago a bunch were trashing a lady for kicking some deadbeats off her condo grounds. WTF, we got socialist here defending people trespassing on private property, and the anti-statists (ANTISTA?) throwing the "Get Off My Lawn" bullshit around. I should go back to the trespassing thread and see if they are the same posters!
