Goshen, IN- Girl's Family Describes Her Fatal Shooting

[Benny]

How terrible. Prayers to the family involved...I couldn't even imagine what that Father is going through right now.



I can't wait to hug my 6 year old son.

Hear say at work says the gun was a Cobra .380. I have not confirmed this, nor can I find a documentation statement of it.

Could be wrong, so take this with a grain of salt until I can confirm and i'll update this post.

However...

Rule:
ALWAYS carry your gun in a holster. ALWAYS. It must be secure. No matter how good or poor the quality of the firearm is. Invest in a variety of holsters... paddle, inside the waste band, outside the waste band, shoulder and ankle. Options are good as you can adjust the carry depending on your dress, activity etc. Remember its not just YOUR convenience and safety you need to be considered about.

The Cobra CA and FS series appear to be single-action striker fired semi-automatics. This design is more likely than others to "slip the striker" when dropped, especially if the safety is off.

Sad.

I am guessing a revolver? Talk about a freak ordeal! Sad indeed!

prolly a 1911.......everyone knows the carry conditions on those

truly traumatic experience for that family, my heart goes out to them
