Yippee Ki-yay more gun nut stupidity!!

Pro-gun Florida mom accidentally shot by 4-year-old son after leaving loaded weapon in car, bragging about how tot gets 'gets jacked up' for target practice

A proud, pro-gun mom was accidentally shot by her 4-year-old son — just a day after the Second Amendment-loving woman boasted about her tot’s shooting kills.

The Florida boy found the loaded weapon in mom Jamie Gilt’s car Tuesday and shot her as they cruised down a Putnam County road, officials said. The 31-year-old mother survived the mid-drive attack and is in stable condition.

“Even my 4 year old gets jacked up to target shoot with the .22,” Gilt wrote on Facebook Monday during a fiery online debate about guns as a means of self-defense. The Jacksonville mom maintained she has the right to shoot anyone who threatens her and her family — and she's teaching her kids to do the same.

On top of her personal account, the vocal gun activist runs "Jamie Gilt for Gun Sense," a Facebook page dedicated to spouting her passionate pro-gun opinions.

Gilt, also an avid horseback rider, was driving to pick up a pony when she was shot Tuesday, CBS 47 reported.

Officials said her son in the backseat fired a .45 caliber handgun into the back of the driver's seat. The bullet pierced through the cushion and struck the mom in the back.

It's not clear how the tot got his hands on the loaded weapon or where it was stored in the vehicle.

Deputies spotted Gilt's truck and horse trailer stopped in the middle of the road. They found her in the front seat with a bullet wound, and rushed her to UF Health in Gainesville, about 40 miles west of Putnam.

The 4-year-old was not injured. He is now in the care of other family members, and the Department of Children and Families is investigating the case, officials said. Detectives are now trying to determine exactly how the boy got a hold of the gun.

Gun owners have two mortal enemies:

1) Anti-gun people

2) Pro-gun people

This would defy reality except that it happens surprisingly often.

I feel bad for the kid, he's got to live the rest of his life knowing he shot his mother. Imagine if he killed her?

Also a good thing the kid didn't shoot out the window and hit somebody else, or even shoot himself.

We need to ban toddlers.

We need to ban toddlers.

We cannot lump all the toddlers in the same group, just because one toddler behaves stupid unintentionally

Guns don't shoot people, toddlers do.

Are we sure it was a real toddler?

It would have to be a real toddler cause we all know guns don't shoot people.

Wow nice to see all the anti gun people here. Yes that woman is pretty stupid to just leave a fully loaded pistol in the back of her truck. That is outright stupid in my book.

While on the other hand I believe that all children need to be taught gun safety and that will help alleviate all the stupid accidental killings by kids. I have 3 kids, and I have taught my two older children gun safety and how to fire a weapon. I am waiting until my youngest gets alittle older before I teach her gun how to shoot. All my kids know where my handgun is in the house, but they know not to touch it and not to play with it.

Good to know that my family can take care of themselves, all the while all you people are sheep.

Not anti gun, more like anti idiots with guns.
