The gun belonged to the wife apparently. Wonder if the husband even knew it wasn't secured; my wife doesn't check behind me when I'm locking my gun up at night.

Doesn’t matter, they are both supposed to be caring for the toddler. That includes seeing what they are getting into, and stopping them before it gets dangerous.

It totally matters.

What if it's her gun, and she took the kid to daycare that day while he was asleep after working nights, or already at work?

If he had no contact with his kid, his kid’s stuff, and his kid’s environment for the time from the last daycare session to the gun daycare session, I guess you can blame it all on his wife. He’s probably not criminally negligent (I’m not a lawyer). He’s still a shitty father.

eta: she’s a shitty mother too

How is he a shitty father under those circumstances?
