“Even though my gun was in a holster, it didn’t stay clipped to my pants, so I removed it, and I placed it next to me,” Cantrell said.

She exited the bathroom without the gun, and by the time she realized it was missing a few minutes later, she returned to find it gone.

Police checked security video and determined that three customers entered the restroom between the time Cantrell had used it and then noticed her gun missing.

If a member of the public had done this with a legally owned gun, he would not be let off with just an apology.

Same rule for cops as for citizens.

One a side note, she looks like she might have a career on the US Women’s Soccer Team.

something like this happened in Orlando FL a few years ago/
Police Chief left her weapon in her department vehicle. Got broken into and stolen.
Now the standard procedure for this seems to be instant termination. Or maybe some other severe penalty.
But this person was the right color; (or not the “wrong color”)
And her husband was County Sheriff.
Now this particular retired police chief is a US Congressperson.
Whoever said the law is color blind must have been blind from birth.

She made Starbucks customers feel more comfortable, though.

So there’s that...

At least we can be grateful that Mr. Cantrell was using the men’s room.

When we give a person a gun and the power to use it against others along with power over their lives, that person must be held to a higher standard. That is not happening.

On a side note, what do these women have against actually looking like women?
