Can I put my bullet in now, Andy?
what an idiot. I remember one of the girls coming out of the latrine and another captain looking at her and saying “Did you forget something?” She said “Scuse me?” in a snotty way then panic came over her face and she turned and ran back in to get he M16 she left leaning on the wall.

In the year 2078, when all cops carry Death Rays and Phasers will the media STILL refer to them as “service revolvers”?
Damn guns .... if they’re not committing murder they’re running away.
The irony and timing of this incident are exquisite!
The evil NRA must have hypnotized this stalwart keeper of the peace.
At least the city’s dogs are a little safer.
Clearly, firearms are too dangerous for police to possess, whatever the constitution may say.
Disarm all captains nationwide. Clearly, they are not able to practice gun responsibility.

That raises an interesting “what would you do” question. How would a finder identify it as a police weapon, until it was announced to the public that it was missing? Would you run a “found” ad in the paper / on the ‘net, with a request for the owner to form a line on the right and don’t push? If you had it for a day or two before you became aware of its origin, then turned it over to police, would you be in trouble? If you find a weapon and turn it in to the police, you can pretty much bet that you’ll never get it back!
Is this anything like having your gun go to the bottom in a tragic boating accident?
Dropped his pants...and there it was....his big gun !!!!

Was it his “duty” weapon?
Firearms get left in rental cars regularly. Usually the owners call back frantically. I heard of one of the car preps trying to pocket one but the owner returned and claimed it. I have a close friend that works for one of the car rental services.
Dropped his shooter in the sh***er, huh? Bummer.
Will he now face prosecution for failing to store the gun properly? Get David Gregory on the story.
If a private citizen was involved they would be in a screaming rage.
