Ahhhhh! Help! Help! A gun!

Nothing happened and no one was hurt.

If you carry you’ve got to be aware of the associated responsibilities. You can’t forget for an instant.

He told a deputy both he and his wife have permits to carry concealed weapons.

So carry it, already.

Leaving it laying around where some curious kid might find it is a recipe for disaster. (Situational awareness begins at your holster.)

Funny story. I've been house-hunting this summer in Southern CT and the home I'm buying has a "man-cave" with some antique rifles hanging on the wall as well as a moose-head. The realtor told me that he had some potential buyers come through the house that turned white as a sheet when they walked into that room. One buyer actually walked out of the house.

This is the kind of fear that some suburban folks have here in the Northeast!

You mean the gun didn’t jump up and chase people around the park??

[Graybeard58]

No one was hurt.

The gun didn't go bat s*** crazy and shoot anyone on its own.

Good gun, good gun.

I can remember a little twit enlisted girl came out of the latrine without her M-16 and another Captain said to her “Did you forget something?” Little twit goes “scuse me?” and then a look of horro came over her face and she scurried back in after it.

I’m sorry, but if a person doesn’t have more snafu than to leave their weapon in a restroom, they shouldn’t be carrying.

For me, that would be like leaving my foot.

[Disambiguator]

If you shove your piece down into your pants while you’re doing your business, you won’t forget it. Plus, it’s not really visible to your “neighbors.”

Putting it on the back of the toilet is a bad idea, because it’s behind you, and out of sight, out of mind.

Oconomowoc...Oconomowoc...Oconomowoc...Oconomowoc

Try saying that four times drunk. Or just try saying it sober.

Vanna, could I buy a consonant?

[Lazamataz]

What's with the odd capitalization? Allow me to assist:

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 ACKNOWLEGED he had GONE there with his WIFE. He TOLD a DEPUTY BOTH he and his wife HAVE permits to CARRY concealed WEAPONS.

There... much better.

[reg45]

So! Anyone looking for a free gun should just follow these folks around.

[barefoot_hiker]

IIRC something like 10 million Americans have carry permits. Many more carry sans permit in Constitutional Carry states like AZ. There are bound to be isolated incidents like this unfortunately. Even LEO occasionally do something dumb like this. One can never be complacent when armed.

Well,I am 76 and I think should not carry. I have left my passport in a German airport restroom. I left my cellphone in a Scottish restroom. So no gun for me. I did last year take a pistol shooting class. I was the oldest and the worst shot. I gave my pistol to my grandson.

[fulltlt]

"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."

Can someone explain how this tracing business works exactly?

[Minutemen]

Sounds like a couple of dumb Libs that voted “OBAMA”!
