Oldmotherhubbard User ID: 70516998 United States 10/13/2015 01:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Anyone know what the typical trigger pull weight is for these guns? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 69532409 Trigger Pull DA/SA 10 lbs/4 lbs 9 oz So how did a kid (2 years old) in a 5 point harness car seat (which is the law in almost all of not all states) reach a gun in the seat in front of them, pull the hammer and the trigger? (Even if it was already cocked, that's a lot of squeezing for a 2 yr old, unless it was a hair trigger. Was the safety on? I mean, there's a whole separate element unless it was a .357 with a hair trigger and no safety and already cocked in which case she was the most irresponsible gun owner on earth. There's no way the kid picked up and shot a .357 magnum with out hurting them self. So the likely scenario is it was in the pocket of the passenger seat and shot through the seat, and even then how the hell did it shoot the passenger? There's a whole lot of weirdness with this story. Oldmotherhubbardglp (at) live.com ~mistakes are proof that you are trying~ ~be kind to unkind people, for they are the ones that need it the most~ |

Kids can have a variety of leverages used to pull a trigger. Bottom line is no child is safe around a gun. There will be exceptions (kids with innate common sense), but the exceptions shouldn't write the rules. Keep kids and guns away from each other. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 69192367 United States 10/13/2015 01:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Anyone know what the typical trigger pull weight is for these guns? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 69532409 Yeah, really. I've handled dozens of revolvers and the trigger pull ranges from really hard to extra really hard. I think even cocking the hammer first would be too much for any 2 year old I've ever seen by any revolver that I've ever seen. Could it have been a single action revolver with a safety? I've seen some of those. Wierd setup but available. Maybe the hammer was cocked and the kid got the safety off and, then, boom! Don't know, but it sounds hokey to me. I think someone else did it as an accident and then they blamed it on the 2 year old to keep the legal repercussions down. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70548410 Once worked with dude who was a 32 year old grandfather...I shit you not. I can't imagine that either. I first became a grandmother when I was 53. I had my daughter when I was 27 and my daughter had her child when she was 27. I look back now and think we were young. |
