Another Forgotten Firearm
Palm Beach, FL
On Tuesday, Apr 10, a Glock 26 gun was left by a customer in the booth at a restaurant on US Hwy 1. A short time later, the gun owner returned to pick it up. He had a valid “concealed weapon†permit.

He should at least have his license taken away for a while or I would hope anyways.

Maybe cases like this should be documented. If you do this more than once your carry permit should be reviewed.

A good holster would have helped back pockets and in the belt just don’t work well. By the way was this a Duncen Donut shop?

Of course, the people at the restaurant are experienced in this sort of thing in that part of the world. They even asked if the customer had the proper documentation to carry a concealed weapon!

Good one Iron Dude.
As for the licensing question, my vote would be to suspend the guy’s license the first time and to lose it permanently if there’s a second time. You leave a weapon behind, you’re not responsible enough to have one. IMHO.

It happened to Beretta the night his wife was murdered….

That’s ‘Baretta’ Sylvia. ‘Beretta’ is an Italian firearms manufacturer. But your name is probably more apt under the circumstances.

now im curious if the weapon was loaded or not. some states, you can carry concealed, but it cant be loaded while carrying (i know what your all thinking, i have no clue myself) why anyone would bother to carry an unloaded firearm, much less pay for a permit to do so. would it be something like “STOP!! Ill throw my gun!!” LMFAO

I hope to hell it was loaded! An unloaded weapon is about as useful as a friendly watch dog!

But Ford, that’s the point in whacky situations like this. The state legislators can do that and not create a constitutional issue. “Hey, you’ve got your arms, but the constitution says nothing about bullets.” It’s like some senator was trying to do a few years back to ban bullets. Can’t ban guns, but you can ban bullets. What this senator didn’t realize is that a guy with enough technical dexterity to cook meth or manufacture crack has enough technical dexterity to make a bullet. Like your unloaded weapon example, those state lawmakers fail to take into account the fact that criminals tend to not obey local weapons laws.
