Woman kills son at shooting range... then herself

[je2000]

This is embarassing, but I have two DUI's yet I own a pistol and a rifle and am a member of a local range. I guess if you have DUI in FL you can't own a gun?

I'm not up on the law, but generally speaking, I would think a DUI (felony) would disqualify you from gun ownership in most states.

Anyone care to inform me?

Many states don't consider it to be a felony, including TX. In NJ, where they occurred, it's not even considered a crime. Only a traffic offense!

That was a while ago, I was younger and stupider. I've learned my lesson. For what it's worth, the 1st I was parked, and the 2nd, if I had been pulled over 2 months earlier, I would've had a legal BAC. Had a .10, they had just changed it to .08.

Mother Kills Son, Father Wants Gun Range to Pay

I guess this is somewhat expected in our world today.
I feel that if the Ex-Husband was aware of all this, he
is just as much responsible as she is and maybe the
Shooting Range should counter-sue him instead.

We live in a litigious society. Of course he wants to sue. Whether they broke any law or not, why not try to redirect blame to someone else? I mean if you can push blame falsely to someone else, you don't have to face the truth of responsibility and accountability.

He is right the drunk driver that killed my Grandparents didn't get anything but probation didn't even do any jail time.

The act of killing someone isn't a traffic offense anywhere that I know of! I'm sure there are a lot of facts to go along with your case.

What'd the guy end up getting charged with?

The facts are he drank, He drove, he KILLED two people and put a third in ICU. One night in jail, and got probation for about five years on probation. Yes there are facts but the one that gets me is no prison time for killing two people. So don't tell me it can't happen I've seen it happen. The third person was in a seperate vehicle, I'm not sure what came of her case against him.
