...Lauren Tannehill, wife of Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill, turned in a rental car, but forgot to remove an AR-15 rifle from the back seat.

The weapon was found by the next rental customer, a woman from New York, who turned it into police.

“This is certainly the kind of item you don’t want to forget anywhere, but forgetting isn’t a crime,” said Broward Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Keyla Concepcion.

According to a BSO report, Lauren Tannehill, 26, rented a Nissan Rogue from E-Z Rent-A-Car on Jan. 4. She had the vehicle for about two hours, then turned it in for another.

People like this give gun owners a bad name.

We already have a bad name. This kind of stuff might help us, as it shows what kind of firepower people carry with them on such a routine basis that they forget all about it.

"nice furniture. no mags in the pic."

Yes, all the furniture is nice, including the blond one, but the rifle may be smarter.

Probably did it on purpose for the publicity —

The next customer found it? Doesn’t the rental agency even look in their cars when they are returned?

Good morning.

There was a thread started by a FReeper yesterday or the day before stating they had found the weapon. Can't find the damn thing now...

They must both be blonde. I see the stupid livestrong bracelet on the football dude.

No Happy Meals for her, no sir!

From New York? Probably wet herself. On a side note, I think this answers the question as to how thoroughly the rental companies clean cars between customers.

"I’d rather have intelligent, rich, amused at my faults, with a love for singing."

Well, it's obvious she doesn't have the first one, but she has the second and could have the other two.

Two hours?

> Actually, in some areas leaving a gun unattended is a crime.

Some years back, I damaged my Mossberg 500 shotgun while hunting and shipped it to the manufacturer for repair.
They fixed the gun, packaged it in a red-and-white striped box with bold letters displaying the word “Firearms”.
The UPS delivery guy simply left it outside on the front porch steps where I noticed it when I got home several hours later.

In Texas, if you have a conceal permit, you can leave your weapon in car if you cannot take it inside a “gun free” place.
