...just hours after bragging how her son gets excited to shoot her .22 A Florida gun activist was shot and wounded Tuesday by her 4-year-old son while driving. Investigators said Jamie Gilt was driving a four-door pickup truck hauling a horse trailer about 3 p.m. when the boy somehow managed to gain access to a .45-caliber handgun and shoot her from the back seat, reported the Florida Times-Union. A Putnam County sheriff’s deputy spotted the 31-year-old Gilt behaving frantically inside the pickup, which was partially parked in a travel lane on Florida 20, authorities said. The bullet passed through Gilt’s torso, and she is expected to survive. Deputies said the boy was not strapped into a booster seat, but they haven’t determined whether he was strapped in at the time of the shooting. She boasted the night before the shooting on Facebook that her “4-year-old gets jacked up to target shoot the .22.” The shooting remains under investigation, and deputies said Gilt could potentially face charges in the incident. “Those questions center around how is the fire arm secured? Where was it carried in the vehicle? And exactly how did the young boy come in possession of the firearm?” said Capt. Joseph Wells, of the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office. ---------- my personal opinion: being a gun enthusiast didn't get her shot... she got shot because she failed to keep her gun(s) out of reach of her child. Ironic that her Facebook page title implies she is 'sensible' about guns.
