"According to the Kentwood police report obtained by 24 Hour News 8, Hanson said he often travels with pistol in the car, but secures the weapon in a holster before placing it in a gun safe along with several other weapons.

However, Hanson told police on Feb. 20 he was in a hurry to visit neighbors who were planning to sell their home and in his haste, he left his gun in the Chevrolet Traverse, the report states.

Michele Hanson was spending her Saturday cleaning the SUV with her young son when the toddler discovered the gun and pulled the trigger."

The sheriff makes some interesting comments about the need for gun safety, properly securing the weapon and keeping them out of the hands of children.

I'm looking up news reports about so-called accidental shootings here in Michigan where I live and taking notes in preparation for writing an e-mail and sending it to my state rep and state senator.
