The woman was driving her boyfriend's car, as hers had been stolen days earlier (along with car seats), and he was a security guard that left his gun under his seat. This story is much sadder than the one in Florida.

Under the seat really sounds like the worst place to keep a gun

It was in his belt. Yes, it's a terrible spot, but chances are she had no idea it was there.

Oh ok i though it was just sort of sliding around down there

Even then, the kid racking a bullet and disarming the safety might have given the game away. Unless the guy was idiot enough to not only treat his gun like a wallet or phone, but leave it loaded and ready to fire.
Who knows, maybe it was a wheel gun and the child just fired it. 2 year olds are strong enough. But don't the holsters have have thumb-snaps? The fact the child sounds like he was not belted and the grandmother had a 1 year old on her lap in the front seat tells me that this family were not really deep thinkers. Jesus christ what an dumb way to die.

It's not really a gun law issue. You can't really legislate for that kind of stupidity.

If you are carrying a gun in a holster in uniform it should be loaded and ready to fire. Otherwise what's the point

Also a lo of guns, esp ones popular with cop types like glocks, don't have external safeties
