Ah yes, the Golden years.
I also miss penny candy and getting a roll of caps for my cap pistol... can you imagine giving a child a cap pistol today!
Nobody died here (or even came close to it) but you keep trying to massage it into that.... keep trying to polish that turd...

My son has a couple of cap guns... along with a .22 bolt action and .22 lever action that he got as Christmas gifts when he was 10.
Things were handled differently in "the Golden years" as you put it.
Guns were not something that instilled panic, a motorcycle backfiring did not start a stampede in Time Square because someone thought it was a gunshot.
People knew what a gunshot sounded like, because Dad taught them to shoot, or they hunted, or they got a marksmanship merit badge, etc.
Children were taught gun safety. "If you find one leave it alone and find an adult" , and when my now 38 year old daughter was 6 and asked about guns... because she knew I CCW'd almost 24/7, she was shown a revolver, it was explained to her never to touch it unless I was there, never to put a finger in the trigger guard, and never to point it at anyone or anything. She was allowed to hold it unloaded that one time... I never had a problem with her and guns, and neither did my Dad because he gave me the same talk.
My 29 year old Goddaughter is engaged to a very nice guy who is a gun enthusiast, she got the same lecture from her Dad, she is an avid shooter and responsible gun owner.
My 25 year old Niece has a concealed carry permit and my wife taught her to shoot. My Nephew just graduated college, he was taught to shoot when he was 12, at some point he will get a permit when he settles down somewhere...
And there is another word we don't hear much these days, responsible.
Ahh the Golden years, where child care centers (kennels for kids) were almost unheard of... things were not perfect when I was young, there was a controversial war, political turmoil, race relations were not great, you know many of the same issues we have today, and we had smelly Hippies and a drug problem.... the more things change the more they stay the same.. but the one thing that got lost over the last 55 years in my opinion is common sense. That is the one thing I miss about "the Golden years" as you put it. I also miss penny candy and getting a roll of caps for my cap pistol... can you imagine giving a child a cap pistol today!
no.Does anyone think this is an acceptable mistake?
You've never put anything in the wrong drawer, wrong backpack, wrong pocket? That's impressive.
You're assuming his bag was a Pokémon backpack, maybe it was just a regular backpack and dad mistook it for his own. Or kid took the wrong backpack. He could be 5 and grabs his own backpack. Mornings with little kids are crazy hectic. Mistakes are made.
You MUST be a Statist/Racist! How dare you criticize some dikhead that puts a loaded gun in his kiddies backpack!no.
I have a 4 year old and a 1 year old. I can't imagine even putting a f***ing gun in my daughter's diaper bag or my son's back pack.
While on the one hand I don't believe someone should permanently lose a constitutional right over this, I do believe the dad here is pretty f-ing stupid, kind of surprised he remembers to breath.
As a parent, I'd be pretty pissed off to get a call from the school like that too that there was a loaded gun in some kid's bag. If a kid found it before a teacher did, this could have had a pretty tragic ending.
I think the dad should get his license back, but only after he gets shot in the knee once.
Would you have put your loaded gun in his diaper bag if you sent him off to daycare?
Now notice the word diapers. 10 year olds dont go to daycare, where they change your diapers.
Kids don't generally go in their own diaper bags. That’s something for adults to do.
Buncha diaper bags

Still why would he put it in his backpack? And if it was his, why did he leave it at daycare? Sorry, all wrong.
I get it. But those can be the consequences of misplaced firearm, Its not like he misplaced his car keys, or even a screw driver, or a hammer or a sawzall. (Yes, a 3 year old could poke an eye out).
There is alot of turd polishing around here, I'm not alone. The gas chamber was introduced and that was never even implied, so let's be fair here.
And I don't think this is getting blown up like we all think, I'm not sure if the swat team showed up?. It seems it might have been handled with some mature professionalism, but I could be wrong, this Massachusetts. I'm not sure it's all over the news.?
... a daycare (regardless of who licenses it) does NOT meet the definition of a "school" wrt the anti-gun laws in Mass. … You may think it, but it doesn't make it a "school" per MGL that deals with GFZs.
Ok that’s fine, but do you leave that back pack at a daycare with the g17 in it ??My backpack, (well knapsack actually if you want to be pedantic), has a kydex holster velcroed in one of the pockets. Just about every time I carry that knapsack, there's a Glock 17 in it.
In other compartments I've got a trauma kit, a flashlight, a spare knife, bandaids...

Everyone is picturing babies or toddlers but a typical daycare might have 5 babies and 30 kids aged 4-5. So odds are this was a backpack not a diaper bag. If Dad gave the kid a camo bag or something, easy mistake to make. A daycare backpack is typically emptied every night, so he could have put his gun in the empty camo bag by mistake in the mad morning rush, then mom put in the pillow case, lunch bag, snacks etc. not noticing the gun.
Simple mistakes can have dire consequences, luckily the string of bad luck ended before a kid found the gun.
"Everyone is picturing babies or toddlers but a typical daycare might have 5 babies and 30 kids aged 4-5.".....and 30 kids aged 4-5 coming across a loaded handgun wouldn't be a problem. Kids that age, NEVER look into backpacks or drawers or any other places MORANS leave LOADED firearms. Really pathetic that ANYONE would excuse some fuktard doing this.

I thought it surprising she died penniless and living in a trailer park.
Why not go open your own thread and argue with yourself, cause no one said that stuff.
