"I wanted to do the right thing and turn it in because I didn't want kids finding it and getting hurt," Gibbons said. "But the police wouldn't come get it from me. They wanted me to deliver it. I was enraged."No concern if she knew proper handling procedures to be able to do that safely?
No concern it might have been disposed evidence and improper handling could obliterate clues like fingerprints? On that note, have their been any recent unsolved shootings with a .25? Or reports of stolen guns? Did anybody check?
No cautioning on legal requirements for transporting firearms?
The ironically-named Lt. Skip Arms (Is this a joke? Is that an invented name to go with this story?) certainly does represent the "Only Ones" attitude and excuse-making we've come to expect over the years.
Yeah, we're too busy setting revenue traps to be bothered. Hey, you hungry?
I know some might be tempted to say she should have kept the gun, but keep in mind if you were caught with it and it did turn out to be a "crime gun," you'd have some 'splainin' to do. Still, you never know when you might need a throwaway, just like the trained professionals have.
