Is the charge criminal negligent homicide or can the adult be charged with second-degree murder? Also, does it make a difference if the minor child is 15 years of age and takes the gun out on the street and kills someone intentionally?
Thanks, Joe Conrad

It depends on where you live as the laws of each state vary. The possible charges include Negligent Storage of a Firearm, typically a misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor; Reckless Endangerment, typically a low end felony; or Second Degree Manslaughter, a serious felony. The charge that is ultimately filed will also depend on the circumstances. Additionally, the parent could be sued in civil court.

If that happens, the parents are consider to be responsible for their action when the firearm(s) are in the wrong hand of another person. So they would get numerous charges.... 1) For not keeping the firearm(s) and ammunition in the safe place out of the children(s) reach. (firearm(s) and ammunition are to be storage in separate places and locked at all time). 2) They are endangering their children(s) for the lack of their safety . 3) Once the firearm(s) has been use in any crime the ammunition has a " signature" from the firearm(s) who is register by the owner who is responsible for any crime that happened (the owner has signed the contract before purchasing any firearm).
In another case ... if the firearm was stolen from an owner and has been immediately report it to the law enforcement, their hand has been washed off without any charges that may happen in anytime on the day when it was stolen then on. But when it is not taking care of properly , the owner will be charge for that crime had happened.

He became arrested that evening. The video clips released for sure shows that. The felony definition of arrested: "An arrest might happen (one million) via the touching or putting hands on the arrestee; (2) via any act that shows an objective to take the arrestee into custody and that subjects the arrestee to the extremely administration and could of the guy making the arrest; or (3) via the consent of the guy to be arrested. there is not any arrest the place there is not any restraint, and the restraint might desire to be below actual or pretended felony authority. despite the fact that, the detention of a guy or woman want no longer be accompanied via formal words of arrest or a station homestead booking to signify an arrest."

a 15 year old who goes out to kill someone intentionally can be tried as an adult in most states; mitigating factors may include insanity,or diminished capacity due to mental illness. yes, the adult could be charged with second degree murder.

Very good question. Don't know, but they are simpletons in the first place to have a gun around with young children. I'm sure I will get plenty of thumbs down for that remark.

Discuss it with a local attorney - either prosecutor or criminal defense lawyer.
