A tourist at Disney World is being accused of throwing out his loaded gun behind a plant at the Magic Kingdom's security check, and had a weird excuse for doing it.

The mom blamed her 6-year-old son because "he was supposed to be watching the gun" according to Orange County Sheriff's office.

Marcia Temple, the mother, was arrested and charge with carring the weapon on October 8th.

“Our rules are clear. Weapons are not allowed at our resort,” a spokeswoman for Disney said.

An Orange County deputy found a pink purse with a gun behind the planter loaded with 10 bullets and one in the chamber.

“Upon opening the purse, I recognized the butt of a firearm, readily accessible once opened,” the officer added in her report.

Also from the report the mother allegedly stated, “I had told my son to hold it for me and stand right here."
