    The child’s mother said she and her son stopped at Burger King to get breakfast when she learned that her dog had been run over and killed. She said that in her grief, she did not notice that her son had grabbed a Glock from the truck’s glove compartment.

    The woman said the child pointed the gun at her and fired, hitting his own index finger.

    Officers responded to the Burger King in Dacula, Georgia, where they found the child. He was taken to a children’s hospital for treatment.

    Gun safety expert Tim Downing said there are a few things parents should remember to prevent accidental shootings.

    Well i feel bad for the dog.

          I’ve kept my pistol in the glovebox, with it locked, and my kids are all grown.

          I cannot imagine keeping it in an unlocked glove box, loaded and chambered, with a four year old in the front seat.
