Is it responsible to leave your guns laying around in public, unattended?

[hadit]

Certain conservatives on here think it's okay leave guns on the sidewalk so they can be taken and used for criminal activity

I'd like to know who. They sound scary.

Should people be fined or made to take a gun safety class if their gun is found in a park completely unattended? In a hotel room they've vacated? In the middle of the street?
Or is it considered responsible gun ownership to have no idea where you left your gun?

Damn! Did my AR walk off again?
Thank GOD it didn't make to a school or a night club or something.

Even worse, it could have joined a gang of feral guns.

When I leave my gun laying around, I always make sure that it is loaded and the safety is off.

The teddy bear I leave right next to it is just my way of giving it a personal touch.

Of course it's irresponsible. It's also irresponsible to light a fire and leave it unattended. It's irresponsible to leave a knife sitting next to your toddler. It's irresponsible to light off professional grade fireworks in a residential neighborhood. Think along those same lines and the answer is obvious.

Yeah...name one twit.

You guys don't care about the guy who picks up that gun and instead of turning it over to police, takes it and uses it to murder people....you get all sweaty just thinking about punishing the normal, law abiding gun owner who made a mistake........

Your priorities are fucked up........instead of pushing to increase sentences for actual gun crimes...you know, murder.....and rape and robbery with a gun, you want to destroy the lives of they guy who made a simple mistake....take his money, his guns, put him in prison and make sure he can't hold a real job again....the guy who took the gun, illegally, and used it to actually commit a crime....no big deal....you don't care.

A mistake that got someone killed, you fucking ass. The cocksuck that left a gun where a criminal could just pick it up, is as guilty of the crime as is the criminal.

You, and the rest of the gun nuts, absolutely fight any kind of law that requires responsible gun ownership. But the current events, created by your defense of criminal negligence, will eventually see those laws in place.

Criminals just walk into hotel rooms?

Should people be fined or made to take a gun safety class if their gun is found in a park completely unattended? In a hotel room they've vacated? In the middle of the street?

Or is it considered responsible gun ownership to have no idea where you left your gun?

Just invoke the Clinton defense. It's just carelessness and no intent was involved.

Can't. There was an actual law involved in this case.

But not the law you are polling........he was arrested not for leaving the gun in the hotel room...he was arrested because he had a legal permit for the gun in New York...but not New Jersey.........nice try though...

I'm sure he didn't mean it. So the liberals will naturally allow him to skate by without punishment since he didn't intend to break the law. That's the new standard in pleading to a crime now, isn't it?

A law has to exist in order for one to be breaking it

Yeah, I agree. Like the statuet Hillary broke when she stored top secret emails on her private and secret server.

We have one poster here that believes that the loss of his unsecured gun in his car parked at his friends house is the bad guys fault.

In a park....like the federal agent.....no.....in their hotel room sure....a fine and a mandatory safety class.......

If the hotel room has a safe, why not?

Oh what private server statute did she break?

Yes.....here is the story oldschool is mocking........he wants this Army Ranger....to get hit with a felony for mistakenly leaving an unloaded gun in a hotel room where he was staying.......

He wants the Army Ranger, a Captain, who has volunteered to risk his life and possibly be permanently disabled in combat....to lose his Army job, lose huge amounts of money, have his ability to ever own a gun stripped away forever, and lose his ability to ever hold a real job again...as well as go to jail......for forgetting his gun when he was packing in the morning.....

Chris Christie had to step in and Pardon the Captain to keep the guys life from being ruined.....and the first thing oldschool went to...punishing the Ranger...on the off chance a thug found the gun and used it to commit murder....

Of course....oldschool, who hates gun owners, would blame the Ranger for the thug who stole the property, instead of handing it over to police and then used the illegally acquired gun to commit illegal acts.......

He would blame the Ranger, not the criminal....

Keep in mind....the Ranger is not in trouble for accidentally leaving the gun in the hotel room.....he is in trouble because, though he owns the gun legally....he doesn't have paperwork to have it in New Jersey...so he is hit with a felony..which will ruin his life.......

His life would be ruined because of a bureaucratic hoop he didn't jump through, having never actually used the gun to commit a crime.......


Christie pardons Army captain who left gun at hotel on trip

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - An Army captain who faced criminal charges for leaving a gun behind at a hotel in New Jersey was pardoned Friday by Gov. Chris Christie.



The Republican governor pardoned 36-year-old Robert White for the December 2014 incident at a hotel in Montvale, where the Army Ranger was staying while traveling from Virginia to New Hampshire with his girlfriend, according to attorney Frank Pisano.

The couple rushed out the next morning, and the 19-year Army veteran forgot that he had left the unloaded gun in his room. When he returned, he was arrested and charged with unlawful possession.


The gun was owned legally, but New Jersey doesn't recognize carry permits from other states. Guns must be kept locked and unloaded in a trunk or secure container.

"Captain White is extremely relieved and he'd like to thank the governor for his compassion in approving his petition for executive clemency," Pisano said. "The governor's actions today have lifted a great weight off his shoulder and he looks forward to serving his country in the coming years."

Your link seems to point to ignorance of the law. That's now an excuse?
