Kids will always be kids. Thankfully this did not have a more tragic outcome.

Colorado Boy Shoots Himself in Leg Playing With Pistol Hidden by Christmas Tree

Wednesday, December 16, 2009

CORTEZ, Colo. —  Authorities say a 12-year-old Colorado boy accidentally shot himself in the leg while playing with a loaded pistol his parents had hidden behind the family Christmas tree.

Montezuma County Sheriff Gerald Wallace says the boy was shot in the calf on Monday morning but the injury wasn't serious.

Wallace says the parents had left for work but other family members took the boy to a hospital.

The sheriff says he won't recommend charges because the parents had left the .22 pistol a reasonable distance from the child.

It wasn't clear why the weapon was hidden there. Wallace says the boy was "digging around" when he found it. His father had other weapons locked in a safe.

I half agee, BUT one of two things hppened. A) the kid was a bonehead because 12 is old enough to know better, or B) his parnts didn't teach him gun safety, in which case its their fault. Still they are darn lucky it isn't going to trial. "Kid Finds Loaded Gun Under Christmas Tree". Screwed is not even the word.

This was nearly an example of applied Darwinism.  If the kid is truly a bonehead, Darwin will likely get another "shot" at him.
