""It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America (with a few legal and official exceptions) from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at a Short Notice on any very interesting Emergency." - George Washington.

Whole lotta incompetence going on. It should've never got to the cop (and yes, after it did HE should've caught it before destroyin' a booger picker).
How in blue blazes did a loaded weapon end up in a display case in a gun store to begin with?
Somebody would be absent a job if it were my store.
"I expect perdition, I always have. I keep this building at my back, and several guns handy, in case perdition arrives in a form that's susceptible to bullets. I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

Everybody is stupid some of the time, but some people are stupid all of the time. The latter group shouldn't be allowed near deadly weapons.

My ex-wife's second cousin was in that group. He was a gun owner who should have known how to be safe around firearms. One day I was was unlocking my gun safe to show him one of my guns when he grabbed my bedside pistol which didn't have a round in the chamber, racked the slide, and said, "Is this thing loaded?" To which I replied, "It is now." I got my gun away from him and him away from me as fast as I could. I didn't turn my back on him again and he's never been back.

The stupid cousin I mentioned above was named Skip. He may have skipped school but I bet he never skipped a grade, if you know what I mean. Short buses are too short to get all the people like him on.
