When a good guy with a gun leaves it in the potty.
According to a Capitol Police incident report, a Kahr CM9 9mm pistol – later claimed by House Speaker Tim Jones’ legislative assistant Dave Evans – was found on top of the toilet paper dispenser in a men's restroom in the Capitol basement Friday. The incident report states that the gun “was fully loaded with one round in the chamber and six rounds in the magazine.”
Capitol police returned the gun to Evans after Jones’ secretary Lisa Bondurant called to report that it was misplaced. The incident report states that Evans didn't have paperwork for the gun with him, but he "offered a very detailed description of the weapon and the holster (and) was able to identify the weapon by the brand, caliber, color, size, the holster and the ammunition count and type that was in the weapon."
Evans did not immediately respond to a call from the Post-Dispatch on Monday.
No charges are expected in the incident.
A law passed in 2011 allows Missouri legislators and their staffers to have guns in the Capitol if they have concealed gun permits.
Seriously, no charges?
You leave a loaded weapon out in public where ANYBODY could pick it up (You know bad guys have to take a tinkle once in awhile too.) and there is no consequence?
If some child had picked it up and shot himself or another person would there be a legal response then?
In my opinion if a person, regardless of any concealed gun permits, leaves that weapon where it can fall into the hands of a non-licensed individual they should immediately be stripped of their right to have a concealed weapon on their person at the very least.
Don't you think?
