[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 410452, member: 1233"] I hope that CPS does what is needed to protect the child. In many states you can carry concealed but that does NOT mean you can carry loaded. Here you can have a concealed weapon in your car but you cannot have it loaded OR where a child could get it. We have pretty liberal gun laws, but if the gun is where a child could get it, meaning it is not in a locked box or drawer or whatever, CPS can and does remove kids. A friend of mine is paranoid (clinical diagnosis, not just my guess) and has a CCP. She got pulled over and told them she had the gun and the license etc.. She was given the choice of letting them take the gun, call CPS for instant removal of her kids, or go to jail. She only got choices because she is an affluent white woman. Any other race, an older car, not looking like a suburban housewife, etc.... and it owuld have been CPS and jail. She had the gun in the drawer below the passenger seat. It latched closed but did not lock. Her kids knew it was there and the older one even showed it to me - taking it out of the case a while back (last time I saw her was the day I told her this - she said I was lying and that was that). I hope the laws are sufficient that they step in and do what is needed for safety. I am sorry that you have to worry about this. You won't ever understand her thinking. Chances are she doesn't either. [/QUOTE]
