...................His son, who was not in a car seat, got a hold of the father's .45-caliber Glock while sitting in the back seat and shot him in the back, according to police reports.


Why didn't he sue the vehicle manufacturer too............... :badmood:

Or the car seat manufacturer, for not having the car seat in his car.

The correct term is honorable mention.

Agreed, however, personally I find nothing honorable about it............... :didntdoit:

The correct term is honorable mention.

Actually, they've changed their terminology. They're now referred to as At-Risk Survivors

ETA: This also solves the problem that hammAR has with the use of the term "honorable". :mrgreen:

It's impossible to keep track of ALL your guns ALL the time and, let's not kid ourselves, children are eventually going to get their sticky little hands on your guns no matter what you do, and whether you like it or not. The best thing you can do is get your heart right with God and wait for it.
