Some people have no common sense. Here is a prime example.

August 25, 2017

Police say a boy found a gun in a dressing room at an Atlanta mall and it fired when the mother pulled the trigger to see if it was real.

News outlets report the mother and son were inside a dressing room at the Adidas store in Lenox Square on Wednesday when the 10-year-old boy found what he thought was a toy gun under a bench. Atlanta police spokeswoman Stephanie Brown says the mother took the gun from the boy and pulled the trigger “to see if it was real.” A single shot was fired.

Brown says there were no injuries. There was minimal damage to the wall.

No charges have been filed and the case remains under investigation.

Well it appears that she aimed the muzzle in a safe direction before firing. Gotta give her some credit.

Well that's one way to determine if it is real.

Obviously, it is not only children that are not receiving training in safe gun handling. I think it should be mandatory in all schools.

At least she didn't look down the muzzle when she pulled the trigger!! Whoever lost the handgun has just "found" it.

HMMM. Interesting to see who the negligent owner might be. At least the lady did not report that the gun "just went off."

There's some speculation that the gun is hers and she's lying to cover her liability.

Well if she bought it through an FFL that will be a short investigation.

Does this woman check the temperature of boiling water or oil by sticking her finger in it?

Does she look into the sun to see if it is shining?

Does she bite into a ghost pepper to see if it's spicy?

Well gentlemen, there is one more reason to not hang out in the ladies dressing rooms.
