Gun Safety Education Pays Off

And it was, more or less, reported well. Komo4.com has the scoop. Way to go, boys. I teach my kids to do the exact same thing. And take that, Brady idiots!

Update: King5 covers it too. More or less the same, except Komo4 says the gun was a 9mm and was "missing the safety mechanism," while King5 has that it was a 22 and "did not have a safety lock."

Also, how about this from the King5 piece:

Authorities do not yet know how the gun got there. The Snohomish County Sheriff's Office hopes to find some answers by tracking down the gun's registered owner.

Yeah, um, like, we don't register our guns in Washington State, much as you might like to believe otherwise. Sheesh.

Update 2: The Komo4 TV report explained that the gun was a Kel-tec "like the one shown here," at which point they flashed an image of a Kimber Target Eclipse II in a Kydex holster. Oh brother.
