Accidental loss of gun could lead to charges!

You have to love this story. No doubt some CCW idiot who left his gun in a store. Think what could of happened to this gun is the store had not found it? The more CC we have the more shit like this that will happen.

If only he had been armed!

of course, when the cops mess up they get s slap on the wrist.

And without video you almost never see them get punished.

Recommended for commentary to avoid pointless propaganda.

> ... the gun apparently broke away from the clip that was holding it when he bent over.

Broke away from the "clip"? Was it held onto him by safety pins or something?

Pistol with belt clip.

You could carry that beast in your pocket and most people that saw the clip would think it was a knife

I forgot things like that are available.

That would not be my first choice in carry weapons, but better than nothing...

One of my co-workers carries one of those little Kel-Tecs. It is funny when the conversation gets around to concealed carry guns and some one eventually waxes eloquent on the their double stack, optically sighted, light rail tacti-cool, custom built wonder gun.

My buddy says, "Golly, gee, I'd sure like to see something that magnificent."

Whereupon the guy invariably says, "Wait a minute while I get it from my car."

My buddy wordlessly plunks his little Kel-Tec on the counter.

Guy always asks, "What's with that silly little pop gun?"

"That's what keeps you from ever getting to your car!"

It really doesn't matter what you have, if you don't have it with you when you need it. So a .380 in your pocket might not be much, but it's more effective than the .357 that gets left at home as too cumbersome.

with charging the guy. It was criminally irresponsible.

It's a firearm fer cryin out loud. You don't leave it sitting someplace without being sttoned, drunk or stupid, or perhaps all three. There just is no excuse at all for what the guy did.

I only with the cops who do this a lot more frequently than private citizens were held to the same standard. Oh, well, can't have that. After all, we're just subjects, we don't rate equal treatment under the law.
