There is. The owners/parents are held responsible in a lot of these case. Now every situation is going to be slightly different, but it's not something people turn a blind eye to. I've very protective of what I keep in my house, how I keep it in my house, and how it needs to be ready in case of self defense use. If i'm not I only have myself to blame and my actions shouldn't take away the rights of others who are following the laws.
My wife and I both have our carry permits. I agree that the standard class as we took it isn't enough. Thought others would say they shouldn't have to take a class to protect themselves and I agree with that as well. The reason I don't think the class is enough is someone doesn't really have to pay attention to the class to get it. Go through it, hit a target, pay $, done. When we did it I asked for a single class with only my wife and I and made sure he brought in some intro to handgun aspects for my wife. She needs to feel comfortable and secure with any gun she choose to have. It just so happens that is an full size M&P .45 with a wonderful Apex trigger kit.
In the end I wish the money spent to fight gun control was spent on disarming criminals and helping those with mental conflicts that lead them to improper use.
