abandoning a black backpack, which contained an unloaded revolver
makes no sense
Unless he figured out he was in deep sh!t by having the weapon (legal or not) anywhere near Trump was. Maybe he just figured he could stash it and come back and get it later.
He must have a good believable story for it that he told the police but they aren’t elaborating.
It was a drop-off.
My guess, and with a piss poorly written story like this that is all you can do, the backpack was “abandoned” in the trunk of the mans’s car.
Legal gun owners and CCW licensees are the most law abiding people in the United States.
