Ahem. I had to check out your profile to see where you live.
In the UK, the legal situation has been (I think it has been sorted out) that where a child has been battered to death, neither parent could be charged if there was no way of proving which one did it. In the UK anybody using a handgun would, of course, be prosecuted simply for possessing it
