Should have had the Eddie Eagle course!
Darwin needs more practice!
WOW, see what happens when folks don't have ANY education about firearms. 
I should have quoted this part of the article in my first post:

The lighter resembled a miniature firearm and it was lying on the ground, Avila told police.
Avila picked it up and tried to light it by pulling the trigger, police said.

That don't work. They are single action. You got to cock the thing before the trigger works.

The article bluntly proclaims:
What is a "potentially deadly handgun?" I wonder how they differ from the handguns that are NOT potentially deadly? I think the next time I'm in a gun shop I am going to ask for the seller's recommendation as to the best handgun on the market that is NOT potentially deadly--I don't like the deadly stuff.

Derringers are among the smallest, potentially deadly handguns made.

that is like calling a thermo-nuclear device:
"potentially deady"
Duh, I hope so!
"potentially deady"
Duh, I hope so!

I'm thinkin' the same thing.
Also: when most people light a lighter, they don't point the flame at the ground, yet apparently this woman did exactly that. Makes me suspect that she knew it was a gun, and was trying to shoot someone.
"...told police she and her 12-year-old daughter, both of Banning, were talking with friends in front of their mobile home..."
Who'd a thunk sompin' like this could happen in a trailer park.
