I was in there one day talking with the gunsmith about my SIG. He went in the back to get something and my gun is lying on the counter (on my "mouse pad") and some other grand-pa employee comes over, picks my gun up, jacks a round out, drops the mag, half-jacks a round and jams it up and says "You can't have any rounds in the gun in here!" So I GRAB it out of his hands, tell him I'm a CCW and a deputy and that if he makes habit out of grabing peoples firearms like that, hes going to end up injured.
Sorry, that's YOUR fault for letting your loaded firearm out of your immediate control. Does your supervisor know about this?
Why does you being a deputy somehow exempt you from proper firearms safety rules? I call that "attitude", myself.
Totally and completely YOUR fault.
so I pulled it out, dropped the mag and the +1 in the chamber. After he saw what he wanted to, I loaded it again. I figured that if the gun was loaded, noone would really know (looks the same as unloaded), but if someone saw a gun there with a full mag and a spare round, they'd wonder what was up.
Why didn't you just put the mag and round IN YOUR POCKET?
Dude. You're DANGEROUS. I mean..you're REALLY dangerous. You need a safety course NOW. Once you reloaded it, it should have been BACK ON YOUR PERSON. The fact that someone was able to pick it up means that it was out of your immediate control! No excuses for that!
Look at what you did:
1. Reloaded a weapon though the store smiths would have expected it to be unloaded, instead of just pocketing the mag.
2. Left the loaded AND chambered weapon OUT OF YOUR CONTROL so someone else was able to take it rather than securing it on your person.
3. Initiated a STRUGGLE over a LOADED WEAPON...can you say ND?
4. Made an attitude threat against a citizen.
And you're a cop? Or just one of those auxiliary citizen deputies who get no training? Good lord! Oh, yeah, I feel safe, now!
