It's like she was asking for deathHer four-year-old son picked up a loaded .45 semi-automatic handgun from the back seat, pointed it towards his mother and pulled the trigger.*
A high-profile pro-gun activist was rushed to hospital after she was shot in the back by her four-year-old son after he found her pistol lying on the back seat of her truck. Jamie Gilt, 31, who posts about firearms on her social media accounts was driving through Putnam County, Jacksonville, Florida yesterday in her truck when she was wounded. Her four-year-old son picked up a loaded .45 semi-automatic handgun from the back seat, pointed it towards his mother and pulled the trigger. The powerful round went through the front seat and passed through Gilt's body. Gilt flagged down a passing Sheriff's deputy and told him that she had been shot.
Deputies recovered a .45 semi-automatic handgun from the floor of the truck. They are satisfied that the round was fired from inside the vehicle. Gilt and her son had been travelling to pick up a horse from a relative when the accident happened. Putman County Sheriff's office spokesman Joseph Wells said a deputy noticed a truck with a horse trailer driving erratically: 'As the deputy slowed to check on the vehicle, he observed an adult female in the driver’s seat motioning to him as if she needed assistance.
The deputy ran to the vehicle and quickly determined that the driver had been shot. The deputy notified the dispatcher of the situation and Putnam County Fire / Rescue was dispatched. The deputy provided first aid until the arrival of paramedics. The victim was transported to University of Florida Health in Gainesville and was last reported to be in stable condition. The only other occupant of the vehicle was the victim’s four-year-old son, who was unharmed.
Before being transported to the emergency room, the victim told deputies that her son had accidentally shot her. The investigation by Major Crimes Unit Detectives and the analysis of the crime scene confirmed that the victim was accidentally shot by the young boy who was sitting in the back seat of the vehicle. The young man was reunited with other family members and Putnam County Sheriff’s Office Victim Services Specialists continue to work with the family
The Florida Department of Children and Family Services are being notified and the investigation into how the child came to be in possession of the handgun is ongoing. According the Florida Times Union, the responding deputy noticed the boy was not strapped to the booster seat in the car when he arrived at the scene. Wells said: 'We’re satisfied that this is not a criminal shooting. However Gilt may face criminal charges if the State Attorney's Office determine there was negligence on how the child obtained the firearm.

cop: why did you shoot her in the back?
kid: her back was to me.
Kind of dumb. I am all for being able to carry. I will say though that if she is stupid enough to leave a loaded weapon by her 4 year old, she deserves to be locked up.
If you are going to carry than you HAVE to be responsible. She is just an idiot.
My grandparents lived on a farm out in the sticks, grandpa was a hunter and knew how to use a gun. If anyone would have tried a home invason or bother them I have no doubts grandpa could have protected his home (within reason). So I felt good about that. Without a weapon just what could some old man do?
I own a huge dog, a dog that would scare anyone. We put him out at night to roam the backyard. Both my neighbors on each side have had things stolen, I haven't and they don't own a dog.
We need protection.
Murican cereals
"It's my goddamn right to own a gun!"
"cuz I'm murican!"
If there was negligence on how 4 year old obtained gun.
I'm sure the mom is suffering from extreme guilt in addition to her physical wounds. So I don't want any charges. Just let her get better.
But to say IF it was negligence.

Uh no. that chick. Press charges AND take custody away from her.If there was negligence on how 4 year old obtained gun.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
Gun enthusiasm is so funny. Guns are to be kept for protection and hunting. That's it and that's all. Lol people who collect and obsess over guns. Jack off over their assault rifles.
Kid has a right to protect himself from a gun nut.
Press charges sure, but taking her kid away from her is going too far, which is why it won't happen.
didn't even have the kid buckled in.
We'll see
Hopefully they do imoThe Florida Department of Children and Family Services is investigating how Gilt's son got his hands on her pistol.
There were two people the kid had the best chance of shooting.
So he shot the right person.
Kinda worked out well.
You got 12 major awards from dancing and 3 consecutive Flag football player of the year awards to defend.
You need more than a dog. You need 6 2" 240 lbs of laffy taffy.
the 4 year old is pro gun?
Night creepers don't want any noise, ok little guy. A big dog barking will work, trust me.
Lil dude ain't afraid to use it to defend his property.
Nice Kimber.
If that's the gun she was shot with she's even stupider than I thought. 1911's have more safety precautions than any other handgun. Thumb safety and grip safety, and the grip safety has to be continuously depressed with the thumb safety disengaged to fire a round. That gun was either ed and locked with no safety on or that 4 year old knows his way around a 1911.
lol the Wild Cobra tangent. That kid knew what he was doing and is an American hero. If there is any justice in the world he will be Trump's running mate.
Do you know how a 1911 works?
Says pretty clearly that the kid wasn't strapped in properly to his car seat which is just wildly unsafe. He realized the danger he was in and acted accordingly. This is precisely the sort of self defense Florida's "sit your tushy" law was designed to permit.
