Does everyone in Arkansas carry a shotgun?

Or just the ones with kids.

Happened again. A man had a loaded shotgun in the back of the truck. His child went to climb in the truck on the driver's side and fired the gun accidentally hitting his dad in the back.

He's going to live. Seems like there are an awful lot of accidental shootings of family members in Arkansas.

Most of our shootings here in Missouri are intentional or drive-by shootings. Except last week a man laid is gun on the bed and went to let the dog out. His toddler picked the gun up and shot himself. He survived.

Did these people just not get the memo that guns are dangerous and you should be careful with them?

Wouldn't be the first time I heard of someone shooting a game bird from the car/truck. Although being stupid enough to keep a round chambered?
