National Guard soldier leaves rifle in New Orleans bathroom

​

From the article.​

​

The weapon appeared in a photo that surfaced on social media, which showed an AR-15 rifle leaning against a sink, according to WWL. It was taken inside the Lafitte Hotel on Bourbon Street, at the center of the French Quarter, after a guardsman used the bathroom on Sunday night.​

The armed forces don't get issued AR-15's, so.......

 

[bradsteen]

And to think someone could have gotten themselves a tax free MG. Opportunity missed!

Did they mention the name of that E-1?

 

[empathdefense]

Very interesting lol

Hmm not an M4? Unless the journalist was taking liberties with a familiar name. Bad form/funny regardless.

Well media hacks have been saying that AR-15s are weapons of war for ike 25+ years

Do you really think "journalists" know the difference?

If you're talking their arse from a hole in the ground?

No, but in either event they'd still probably try to "probe" it.

Free guns.

One time I bagged a 1911 .45 pistol that an LTC left hanging in a holster on a metal locker door.

When my mom worked at the Coburg Road Albertsons back in the early 2000's, I would stop in and get a cookie from the bakery a lot of the time. One day, I had to use the bathroom. I went upstairs to the em_loyee break room where a bathroom was located.

As I entered the stall, there on the top of the toilet tank or the TP dispenser, I can't quite recall now, was a pistol in a holster. Well, I did my business, and went back to the bakery with the pistol in my back pack and told my mom what I had found. She grabbed the bakery manager and I showed him what I had found. He called the EPD and reported it.

About 10 minutes later a plain clothes cop comes in, a detective, and asks about the pistol. We showed it to him. And he was like "Jeez, I am glad you found it. I thought I had lost it. I was going to be in a lot of trouble."

He was well known to everyone there. He had been in there earlier before I had arrived for, you guessed it, doughnuts.

They always let him use the employee bathroom, and he went upstairs to to do his business, and left it in the stall and forgot it. He had been there just before I was. He hadn't been dispatched, he just remembered and came back.

I don't know what happed as a result of the manager making the call, but I am sure it was quietly swapped under the rug. It was a nice pistol too. A Sig if I recall, back when they were made of metal. A 226? I don't really remember now. But, it was sure funny. My mom was like, "you want a free cookie? Maybe you will feel better."

Forever pushing the anti gun narrative, associate it with the civ version and it will scare people even more "if soldiers do not know how to bla bla..."

I asked a friend of mine why he didn't play golf. He told me he didn't know his arse from a hole in the ground and was therefore too difficult.

I recall decades ago, i stopped outside the gate of fort Lewis Washington,to get something at the quicky mart there.. soldiers were inside getting snacks, but had stacked there m-16's outside against the building, no one around to guard the weapons.. seemed a little risky.. and NO i did not pilfer any. LOL I'm too pretty to go to prison..

You mean E-1 that will be doing extra duty ? No pun intended extra duty and left their weapon in the restroom lol !

Back in the early 80s in W.Berlin, a colleague of mine (an Army MP Investigator) left his "F_g Bag" - with his duty revolver inside - on top of a car after taking a vandalism report in front of my "high rise" family quarters.

I'd seen him out there earlier, and by sheer chance spotted his bag only seconds after he tore off on another call. With bag in hand, I called the MP desk and had them radio the guy that I had "something very important for him back at his last call."

Not surprising, it wasn't long at all before he showed up at my door. He told me the message had come over the radio about the same time he realized that his duty weapon was AWOL. We never spoke of it again . . . and since that day, "off-body carry" holds no appeal to me.
