I just read that she was a nuclear scientist so this was no dumb bunny, not that it matters at this point, smart or dumb, dead is dead.
It's not been released what kind of gun she was carrying.
It is confirmed that she and her husband were gun enthusiasts and carried at all times. She had her gun with her when she took her son and nieces to Walmart because she loved guns, not for protection (according to her family).
Her husband got her a purse with a zip pocket for Christmas. She had her gun in that purse inside the pocket, according to the husband. That's not secured or locked -- it's just a purse with a zippered pocket marketed to gun lovers.
Anyway, they're a gun family, like a lot of folks in Idaho, according to her father-in-law. He's upset that people are labeling Veronica "irresponsible" for leaving a loaded unsecured gun in reach of her child and other children -- he says it was a tragic accident. It sure was a tragic accident, one that could have been prevented if his seemingly very lovely and intelligent daughter-in-law hadn't been so irresponsible and negligent with guns around children.
So now Veronica's husband has an inquisitive 2-year-old boy, one who'd been exposed to guns and taught about gun safety, who is not doing well at all without his mother and will have to deal with having killed her for the rest of his life.
