Delhi Township Police have arrested a man whose three-year-old son was taken to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center Thursday after an accidental shooting.
Police arrested Lorenzo McMullen on one count of child endangering and one count of having a weapon while under disability. Both are third-degree felonies.
They said the boy had a gunshot wound to his left bicep. He did not require surgery and is expected to be released later today.
Police said McMullen had a loaded .45 caliber handgun under his bed. The gun discharged when the boy reached under the bed to retrieve it.
I wonder what that "while under disability" means? Maybe Kurt can tell us.

ReplyDeleteWhat the hell is that supposed to mean? You're the self-admitted "gun criminal," not me.
You do know, don't you--even you are not quite stupid enough to think that the disability in this context has anything to do with physical handicaps--are you?
"Under disability" is another way of saying that the person in question has been sentenced to government-mandated defenselessness (which is very often a life sentence, although a "life" sentence for the forcibly disarmed may of course very well be a great deal shorter than for others). From the BATFE thugs, for example (bold emphasis added):
Under the provisions of the Gun Control Act of 1968 (GCA), convicted felons and certain other persons are prohibited from possessing or receiving firearms. The GCA provides the Attorney General with the authority to grant relief from this disability where the Attorney General determines that the person is not likely to act in a manner dangerous to the public safety . . .
As disabilities go, being paraplegic and confined to a wheelchair is of course pretty tame stuff, compared to having one's Constitutionally guaranteed, fundamental human right of the individual to keep and bear arms trampled.
That would be the case, anyway, if the person thus disabled by the government could not simply defy that oppression.
I hadn't heard it referred to as a disability before.
DeleteGo on, mock me for my ignorance.
Nothing we haven't done before.
