Stomper when I first found this group I learned NOT to be drinking anything when I click on your posts.Obviously the ol' prison wallet carry won't work during that particular function…..
It warms my heart to hear that I am the enforcement instrument of proper internet etiquette!Stomper when I first found this group I learned NOT to be drinking anything when I click on your posts.
How do they fit so much DUMB A$$ into such a small photo?
Well she used the only thing god gave her and put it to good use. Amazing knee pads got her this far
Seems like there was no "teaching moment", just a delay. Personally, I would have asked for a description, checked ID/CHL and handed it over. I believe anyone who forgot a firearm behind would be embarrassed enough to not repeat that mistake.Excuses for poor gun handling and possibly putting others at risk due to irresponsibility is never OK. Who do you think had a bigger impact the op or Leo for this teaching moment.
I don't understand why people put their guns on the back of the toilet, or on top of the toilet paper dispenser, etc. If you have to take your gun off, it goes in the legs of your pants. There's no way you can walk out of the stall without it.
And you never want to hang it on the hook on the door either. Someone can easily reach over and steal it.
I can say this happens more than most hunters will admit to...Once, when hunting, I leaned my rifle against the truck while I was unlocking the doors
Ever since I've been an "adult" (some of my family and friends say I've not yet achieved!) I realized it's best to fess up. People might pay attention to the lessons I learned the hard way and save themselves some grief.I can say this happens more than most hunters will admit to...
Flighty?That's NOT what she said, but in the end no one would marry her because she was too….. er, never mind.
I never have!I can say this happens more than most hunters will admit to...
I agree if the OP had a bad day he would view the response differently. As long as no one got hurt we shouldn't be doing anything that could potentially cost someone their gun or rights just because we might feel they need to be taught a lesson. People are human and anyone can have a bad day. The fact that the lady waited patiently for the police to arrive without giving the OP grief tells me she was accepting her lesson learned. The officer probably saw that when he gave her the gun and let her on her way....
According to some here, you probably should have performed a citizens arrest on yourself, waited for the cops to come chew you out, and then have yourself checked for your papers.Seems like there was no "teaching moment", just a delay.

Once, when hunting, I leaned my rifle against the truck while I was unlocking the doors and waiting for the wife to show up. We got a mile down the road before I realized it's place in the rifle rack was empty. I bout crapped my pants! Whipped the truck around and headed back. There is was, laying where I'd been parked. I "paid for it" by being freaked out that it could have been stolen, by the fact that when I ran it over it tweaked the scope in the mounts and by having to return home to repair the small amount of damage, losing out on the rest of the day's hunting. I've always been careful with my guns. That incident made me even more so.
People make mistakes. Granted when a firearm is involved it could result in more serious circumstances, but I'm not the one to judge.
You do you, @Dirty-30_lever , but if you were in her shoes you might have a different view of the situation. In her defense, she did wait patiently for the police to arrive. If it had been me, I would have called to make sure they were on the way to be sure you were being honest.
What do you do with your pistol when you hit the head?
Recently had an issue where I had to use the public head, my EDC is a SIG scorpion carry and two mags held OWB. when I went to handle business as it was I didn’t want my rig hitting the deck...for a few reasons, sanitation being among them also not wanting anything visible under the extreme...www.northwestfirearms.com
OR at least had to have paid the fee and waited for my 4473 to be cleared...According to some here, you probably should have performed a citizens arrest on yourself, waited for the cops to come chew you out, and then have yourself checked for your papers.
I wish I could quadruple-like this post!Seems like there was no "teaching moment", just a delay. Personally, I would have asked for a description, checked ID/CHL and handed it over. I believe anyone who forgot a firearm behind would be embarrassed enough to not repeat that mistake.

Well, the OP described her as a 'petite blonde' which could explain a lot. Ya know the 'hot girl' pass. 'Embarrassment' may never enter this girl's thinking and a lot of guys tend to loose their sense of 'awareness' when the subject is a hot petudi in tight jeans.I believe anyone who forgot a firearm behind would be embarrassed enough to not repeat that mistake.
