The antis will probably try to misuse this incident, but the facts are the daughter is extremely stupid and lacks any common sense. (although I guess a lot of 18 yr olds are that way. :( She's very lucky to be alive and that her injury wasn't more serious.

GIRARD, Ohio — A college student who returned to her Ohio home for a surprise visit is recovering after her mother accidentally shot her, police said.

According to WFMJ-TV, authorities responded to the Girard home the night of Aug. 30 after the boyfriend of the 18-year-old victim called 911.

"My girlfriend just came home from college and her mom didn't know, like, honestly – she accidentally shot her, and we don't know what to do," he told the dispatcher, the news station reported.

Girard police told WFMJ that the mother, who wasn't expecting a visitor and is licensed to carry a concealed weapon, was frightened after hearing noises inside the house. Thinking an intruder was nearby, she grabbed her revolver and opened fire as someone rushed into her bedroom, WJW-TV reported.

That person was actually the woman's daughter, who was shot in the elbow, authorities told WJW. Emergency responders took the teen to a nearby hospital, where she was treated and later released, WFMJ reported.

Glad my daughter knew better than to do something like that.

My kids know, my wife has ready access to a pistol. They would not come in, unexpected.
No, I am not a policeman. I am a mercenary praying for peace on Earth.
I don't want a tactical advantage. I want the bad guys to repent and find a new line of work.

At 14 years old (maybe sooner) I knew better than that.
Quit worrying, hide your gun well, shut up, and CARRY that handgun!
