While home alone the 11-year-old boy got the gun because he thought someone was breaking in. The little sister got shot accidentally and, no thanks to the super-responsible dad, survived. She was lucky, to say the least.A Green Bay father whose son shot his sister after he left the two home alone was sentenced Friday.
Bone will have a year of probation and serve 200 hours of community service.
Authorities say Bone showed his children where the gun was for emergencies.
But wait till you hear the judge's pronouncement.
I suppose what that really means is AFTER his probation he still has to stay away from drugs.Judge McKay also ordered Bone to stay away from drugs, alcohol and guns during his probation.
What's your opinion? Hasn't David Bone demonstrated sufficiently that he's incapable of owning guns safely? What kind of gun owner tells the kids where the gun is, just in case?
Let me answer that.
Many of our favorite gun-rights advocates are like that. They've taught their young children how to handle guns, They themselves boast of having been indoctrinated young and they turned out OK. They live in a fantasy world of ever-impending attack, hell, it would be irresponsible NOT to tell the kids where the gun is.
How much you wanna bet that Judge J.D. McKay is a gun lover and a 2A supporter? Who else would even consider letting a guy like Bone own guns again in the future.
What's your opinion? Please leave a comment.
I think 11 is a bit young to leave in charge as a baby sitter, for precisely these reasons.
ReplyDeleteIf ever there was an occasion where someone should be taught the importance of the duty to retreat as part of the Castle Doctrine, this would be an excellent demonstration.
Call 911 and get behind a locked door.
Or, invest in a good dog, at the very least, instead of a gun.
Please tell me that this poor man won't be deprived of his right to keep and bear arms irresponsibly.

As I've said before, when the gunzloonz start spouting their Casteldoctrineporn, if somebody's coming to my house to kill me, I doubt that they're going to announce themselves. If someone's coming to my house to rob it:
A.) They're been given piss poor intel on my current finances
and
3.) If they can get past the door and window locks they'll be dealing with a pissed off homeowner who knows the lay of the land and has loads of options. Needless to say I keep a loaded cellphone right next to my bed.
Don't worry, democommie, he'll be back in action in a year after the probation is over.
