Columbia SC Sam's Club

A 4-year-old girl shot herself in the chest Monday after snatching her grandmother's handgun from the woman's purse while riding in a shopping cart at a Sam's Club store, authorities said.

Please note:Concealed weapons permit holders in South Carolina are not allowed to carry weapons into buildings that prohibit it, or into government buildings, schools and daycare facilities, among other places.

The Sam's Club store does not have a sign prohibiting guns inside.

Stupid people like this are the ones the anti's feed on. Evidently she didn't have the weapon or her purse secured and she OBVIOUSLY was not paying a lick of attention to the little girl.

This is exactly why anyone that ccw's should have the gun holstered on their person, not in a bag or fanny pack ect... especially when there are little ones around.
