Nothing happens for storing your gun in a dumb enough way that a 6 y.o. can get their hands on it and bring it to school...

Ugh
- And while at it, drunk people seem a lot more aggressive than stoned ones. If they make weed and guns a problem, let's add alcohol as well.
  
  Even without any drug, alcohol or kid involved, leaving your loaded gun unattended in a handbag is wack.
  This wasn't even the first time her gun was fired in public through negligence, yet she's still carrying one around.
  
  It is illegal to have a firearm on your person while under the influence of alcohol, even one drink. Now as to how often that gets enforced is entirely another problem.

The child, now aged seven, told police he obtained the firearm by mounting a drawer to reach his mom's handbag on top of a dresser, where the handgun was kept.

Dipshit. I'm assuming VA doesn't have any law about securing firearms. This is why we need them. You'd think it would be common sense, but I guess not.
