Child finds gun, fires shot in Ikea

WISHTV Fishers, IN

An Ikea customer sat down on a couch, where his firearm fell out of his pants and got lodged in the piece of furniture. He got up from the couch and continued to walk around the store without realizing his gun was gone, according to Sgt. Tom Weger with Fisher Police Department.

I can completely relate with wanting a gun to deal with Ikea customers.

Kids sat down on the same couch, found the gun and one of them pulled the trigger, firing a shot but not injuring anyone, Weger said.

The only thing that can stop a bad kid with a gun is a good kid with a gun.

Weger added that now is the time for parents to talk about what steps to take if a child finds a gun.

In other words, “The current generations of adults have failed you, kids. Gun safety is your responsibility, now”
