It;s very easy to see how the Dad was negligent in possessing a firearm.

  • Kris Harrison decides that showing his daughter, Lucy Harrison a gun was a good idea
  • Kris Harrison is drunk
  • Kris Harrison keeps the gun loaded for "mA pRoTeCtIoN"
  • Kris Harrison never keeps the safety on
  • Kris Harrison never cleared the firearm when put it in his hands
  • Kris Harrison is drunk handling a firearm
  • Kris Harrison doesn't hand the grip first instead tries to hand the firearm barrel pointing at his daughter
  • Kris Harrison is drunk and doesn't realize it doesn't take much pressure to pull the trigger back

I would be willing to bet Kris Harrison never took a firearms course.

I would also like to point our, we have no idea where Lucy Harrison was shot. If she was shot in the back, this would reek of murder. If Lucy Harrison was shot in the lower abdomen, then does seem like Kris Harrison was negligent.

Clear cut 'Criminal negligence causing death'.

Article linked above said she was shot on chest

The gun did not apparently have a safety and safeties are not mandated by law (based on what others have said elsewhere in this post)
