Tia,
I know a man who is closely related to them. This happened here in the town I live in. On top of shooting herself the little girl (age 4) has MS or MD. (man was not sure)
It's sad when you are a judge (magistrate here in SC) that HAS to carry a handgun with you to protect yourself from criminals - but still - HOW could you ever leave your purse where a child could have access for even one moment? The article stated that she has a CWP - WHOOPIE - if you or I had a CWP and our grandkids shot themselves WE would be going to jail - there are no charges pending. I THINK THAT is amazing - that this woman was irresponsible and a child shot herself - WHAT if the gun had been pointed at someone elses child or husband?
I'm outraged that there are NO consequences for judges and officials here in SC - it's a GOOD OLD BOY SYSTEMS for sure - OUR STATE TREASURER was a millionaire, he got busted with LOADS of cocaine and had been under surveillance for months - he got a cushy rehab stint in NEW MEXICO. Then came back to be "placed" in jail for a term NOT to exceed 18 months
COME ON does SC legislature think we are blind? ARGH and now this - a judges granddaughter shoots herself and she won't get charged? A man locally had a gun in his house up on a shelf - unloaded, and the kids 4 and 5 climbed up in the closet, found the gun, found the bullets and put the 2 together and one kid killed the other and the man is doing LIFE. SEE what I mean?
AWFUL isnt' the word.
and the little girl? She is still in the hospital here - in Stable condition which is better than they gave her when she was taken from Sams club yesterday. So that is a good sign. No major arteries or organs were affected.
