8-year-old boy brought a handgun to school and sold it to a classmate for $3

He could have gotten more for it.

[sepe]

I'd have given him $20 and kept my mouth shut!!!

It was probably a Glock and he got more than it was worth.

I was going to say something about having a handgun in New York City, but then the story went on to say it was registered to the kid's father. Unbelievable that dad could take the time and effort to get a handgun legally in NYC and then leave it around so his son could take it!

Why would they arrest an 8 year old? I know it's NYC and all, but damn!

He bought it at Ludco in Hartford City.

Scary stuff if you have children, my oldest will be 5 this July and I can't imagine how I would feel if my child was around this type of activity.

Not to sound superior, but people need to be responsible and I hope they throw the book at the father.






Safety first.

The scarey thing is the GLOCK doesn't have a frame mounted thumb safety

 

[furbymac]

souldn't the other kid get arrested for illegally buying a hand gun and the mother for possession of stolen property??

He bought it at Ludco in Parker City.

Sad story, and of course the media uses these instances to demonize the rest of us.

 

[squirrelhntr]

also makes one wonder what kind of parents the little fella has ????

Follow up story below... not a Glock as the first story pictured-- guess Glock's are the MSM's go-to "deadly assault hand-weapon" in their photo archive file-- but a beat up Taurus, so the $3.50 was fair market value after all.

Check out all the FAIL detailed in this follow up story. The pistol has an erased serial number and daddy possessed it illegally.
