I wonder if there will be any action brought against the genius that leaves a loaded gun about the house? Is there even an avenue to pursue it?
I don't think there can be any charges filed against the gun owner.
It's not against the law to have legally owned loaded weapons laying around the house, AFAIK. The police interviewed the 4 year old to make sure the friend's story was true and determined there was no foul play involved.
The kid reportedly told police what he did with the gun and still didn't realize that he'd done anything wrong during the interview.
Had the father lived, he may have been charged with child endangerment for not supervising his son. It's very lucky for the little boy's family that he didn't accidentally shoot himself too.
