Pastor's Daughter Accidentally Shot at Church Dies

[PavePusher]

219. "the history of guns in churches"? Cite, please. Have guns never been used to defend churches?

Going to a private area to display a firearm is merely good manners in some places, not any ready clue of criminal intent.

I carry a sidearm many places. Has nothing to do with "shooting gallery(s)".

Edit: People keep refering to "closet" like it's some sort of subterfuge. Closet has a wide range of meanings. My current office building has closets that range from phone-booth size for brooms, to one that big enough to be a three-person office (that's what it once was), and is currently a storage- and work-room. I think there's too much negative emphasis on that word in absence of evidence.

According to the update below, I don't think any criminal intent was involved. A horribly tragic event due to breaking all four common safety rules of handling firearms. I hope the individuals who cuased this get punished appropriately. Certainly seems like Negligent Homocide to me.
