Apparently, carrying a concealed weapon for some PEOPLE is so second nature they don't realize when they've left their gun behind in a restroom.

A 76-year-old Oconomowoc man — whose wife left a loaded handgun in a Brookfield church restroom this year — left his own weapon in the restroom of a DOOR COUNTY fun park this month, according to sheriff's department reports.

The loaded Ruger .380-caliber was found, in a holster, on the floor of a men's room at the Egg Harbor Fun Park on Aug. 9. A patron of the park — which features miniature golf, go-carts, arcade games and many other attractions for FAMILIES — turned it in to the park's owner. The owner held it a few hours, assuming the owner would come back looking for the gun. When no one did, he called the sheriff's office.

Investigators traced the gun to Gerald Hitchler, who has a second home in Egg Harbor. Records SHOWED he had purchased the weapon in 2012 from a Gander Mountain store.

No one was hurt.

When a deputy CONTACTED Hitchler, he expressed shock that the gun was found at the fun park, though he acknowledged he had gone there with his wife. He told a deputy both he and his wife have permits to carry concealed weapons.

There are many responsibilities that come with owning and carrying a firearm. If you can’t handle the responsibilities, then you should not have a firearm.

What you need is a lanyard!

I agree.

The hoplophobes don’t realize they’re far more likely to be run over by gramps and granny in their Buick and nobody seems to care about that.

Is Oconomowoc pronounced similarly to the word, ‘economy’?
