A four-year old boy accidentally shot and injured his mother in their car in northern Florida, US media report.
The woman told police the incident happened while the boy was sitting in the back seat.
A local police spokesman said that the round went through her back after she was shot through the seat.
The boy was unharmed and his mother - named as Jamie Gilt, 31 - is said to be in a stable condition after being taken to hospital.
Police said a .45 calibre handgun was on the floor of the truck, the Florida Times-Union reported.
A public Facebook account for a woman named Jamie Gilt who lives in Jacksonville features pro-gun messages and has another page called "Jamie Gilt for Gun Sense."
The paper said it was not clear if the Facebook account belonged to the woman who was shot on Tuesday or if the four-year-old referred to in a post about target shooting is her son.
There are a fair number of You Tube vids of unbelievable behaviour often resulting in serious injury and death!
Consider, if you will, that these are just a handful of the ones recorded, and there must be dozens more which are not on video.

I doubt that if someone here let their kids play in the back seat with a .45 handgun the police would just say "there was no crime". The kid could have stuck it in his mouth and blown his brains out, or bang-banged a passer by.

It is a form of natural selection The trouble is, that's what we're trying to do with our health and safety culture, and instead of meeting their maker, they're breeding!!

indeed...toddler self-liquidation could be the answer to over-population we've all been waiting for.
Yeah!
Toddlers? Slaughter them at birth!

No doubt there will be the usual leftie/liberal response to this but clearly just a case of the child exercising his right under the constitution to bear arms.
