Ruger has an 8 or 9 rounder too.
No way! That's got, like, SIX rounds in the chamber.
If I could find it and knew how to embed I would post the scene from terminator 2, the biker trying to rack his 1911
Practice NOW by wearing a holster at home, with an unloaded pistol (no ammo, no mag).I've never carried because I am new to handguns but I hope I can become more comfortable by practicing carrying unchambered. I don't think leaving it at home will build the experience I need.

You may also buy a pack of snap-caps, and practice DRY FIRE in a designated safe place (basement or garage)
After that, incorporate drawing and dry fire (snap caps, no ammo in the room)

You can also practice wearing an empty holster in your normal day.
Don't rock too hard.
Oh man. How sad.‘It’s a nightmare’: Nashville mother accidentally shoots, kills daughter, police say
Police said the unholstered pistol inside her bag went off, killing her 13-year-old daughter.www.wsmv.com
I see your point but this poor lady is going through enough. No point stacking charges on top of it. Was it negligent, definitely. Does putting her in jail really serve any purpose , no. Punishment on top of punshment.Doesn’t say what pistol but obviously was chambered with no manual safety and upholstered exposing the trigger. Negligent homicide? If I accidentally hit her kid with my car it would be, correct?
I can’t imagine the horror and guilt but this is not a good look for the 2A. Had she never been told to holster her carry firearm? It’s a miracle she hadn’t shot herself digging around in her purse. She clearly didn’t have a clue what she was doing yet carried a gun. People like this are ammo for the anti-2A crowd and invite their effort for consequences, like liability insurance for armed stupid people.I see your point but this poor lady is going through enough.

I get safety is paramount...but carrying with an empty chamber is effectively not carrying at all. If you're not carrying with a loaded chamber you should stick to a double-action revolver.
You are correct. Unfortunately this is really a no win situation. The things you pointed out are absolutely valid. They Unfortunately are true whether or not she is prosecuted. Charging her would likely even draw more attention to the situation . I guess Im torn on this as I can definitely see both sides. Just an all around bad situation I guess .I can’t imagine the horror and guilt but this is not a good look for the 2A. Had she never been told to holster her carry firearm?

I agree. No senseless suffering but some punishment for her negligence. Unless the investigation reveals otherwise.Horrible event. Charge her, find her guilty of manslaughter, sentence her to 'time served'. That will illustrate that she indeed committed a crime and the incident was her fault, draw attention to the need for safety, disqualify her from future firearms ownership and let her out of formal punishment because we all know she will be creating her own.
I would like to save her the anguish of prosecution, but she should never be allowed to own a firearm again and what you have outlined is likely the only way to achieve that.Horrible event.
