    Predictable is preventable…

    Loaded, unlocked handgun: Girl, 6, kills brother, 3

    Mn State Statute says:

    609.666 NEGLIGENT STORAGE OF FIREARMS.

    Subdivision 1. Definitions. For purposes of this section, the following words have the

    meanings given.

    (a) “Firearm” means a device designed to be used as a weapon, from which is expelled a

    projectile by the force of any explosion or force of combustion.

    (b) “Child” means a person under the age of 18 years.

    (c) “Loaded” means the firearm has ammunition in the chamber or magazine, if the magazine

    is in the firearm, unless the firearm is incapable of being fired by a child who is likely to gain

    access to the firearm.

    Subd. 2. Access to firearms. A person is guilty of a gross misdemeanor who negligently

    stores or leaves a loaded firearm in a location where the person knows, or reasonably should

    know, that a child is likely to gain access, unless reasonable action is taken to secure the firearm

    against access by the child.

    Subd. 3. Limitations. Subdivision 2 does not apply to a child’s access to firearms that was

    obtained as a result of an unlawful entry.

    Truly a sad sad story…the shooter is the 2nd victim in this story.
