A MUM who was accidentally shot by her four-year-old son “will never give up her guns”, her family have announced.

Family members said Jamie Gilt will still be pro-gun — despite being almost killed in an accidental shooting in her truck.

Ms Gilt, 31, is in a stable condition and faces criminal charges after her son found a fully loaded .45 handgun next to his child booster seat and pulled the trigger.

The boy’s grandmother Jane Bramble told The Sun the youngster has no idea that he had almost killed his mum.

And she insisted her daughter would not change her opinion about owning guns — and will keep the semi automatic gun fired in the incident.

“This was an accident and nothing more,” said the 71-year-old from Palaka, Florida.

“All the gun control people are jumping on this, but it will not change her opinion about owning guns.

“She is very pro-gun and will not change her opinion about owning them.

“She will keep her guns and I’m happy that she will.”

Ms Bramble said her grandson was unaffected by the shooting.

“He is sitting opposite me eating pancakes and has no idea what he did. It was an accident, that is all it was.”

Ms Bramble refused to say how her grandson got hold of the loaded weapon.

“I don’t want to go into that now,” she said.

“I want to thank everyone for their support and prayers in this difficult time.

“The family wants to remain private and focus on the long road of healing ahead.”

Days before the shooting Ms Gilt had used social media to support the right to own guns and boasted that her son knew how to shoot.

“All of ours know how to shoot too. Even my 4-year-old gets jacked up to target shoot the .22,” she wrote in a Facebook posting.

As well as a personal account Ms Gilt has a Facebook page called “Jamie Gilt for Gun Sense”

The four-year-old boy has not been named and is in the care of his grandmother while social services launch an investigation. Police said he will not face any charges.

Ms Gilt was driving to her sister’s home near Jacksonville, Florida, when the youngster fired a single shot into the driver’s seat.

The bullet passed through her back and exited out of her stomach.

A police officer saw the driver waving at him frantically and when he approached the vehicle Ms Gilt said her son had shot her in the back.

Police found a handgun on the floor of the vehicle and the boy was unrestrained in the child booster seat.

Ms Gilt was flown by air ambulance to the UF Hospital in Gainesville where she remains in a stable condition.

She has yet to be interviewed by police as doctors have said she is not medically fit to make a statement.

The Putnam County Sheriff’s Office said Ms Gilt could face a negligence charge if it was found the boy had easy access to the gun.

However, a former state prosecutor said it was unlikely Ms Gilt would be charged as she had suffered enough.

Harry Shorstein said “You have to put great weight on the fact that the person who is criminally liable is the one who was shot.

“I’d be very reluctant to prosecute in this situation.”
