Delete comment from: The War on Guns
FWIW, I just left this post at the paper's website. Might raise some consciousness, might not:
So let me get this straight -- the police officer in question had his duty weapon as well as a stun gun lying around loose in his home rather than securing them in a gun vault of the like? I'm shocked -- shocked, I tell you!
And as if leaving duty weapons lying about unprotected isn't bad enough, the article specifically states “They kicked in a door,” he said. “We’ve had a number of burglaries and vehicle (break-ins) in that area.”
Would any of you care to speculate on the outcome had the weapon in question been stolen from a private citizen vs. a police officer?
