Lady finds loaded revolver in yard sale item

[Killian]

Clearly this means it's time to put trigger locks on laptop cases.

She got lucky.

Notice how the responsible TV News did not show how to properly handle a found gun or warn others not to pick up a loaded handed gun with a pen? What happened to leave it alone, don't touch it, and call for a RESPONSIBLE ADULT! None of the adults on that video were even close to being responsible.

I'm just amazed the reporter didn't call it an AK-47.

No that's what reporters call rifles that are not Uzis.

That handgun is obviously a Glock not an AK-47, (Where's my PDF of the Recognition Guide to Firearms for Reporters?)

CRAP! I've been looking for just that revolver and some crazy woman gets one for free and doesn't even want it.

She did the right thing by calling the pd. Hopefully they were able to safely unload it. If I bought a bag like that one I would be looking in all the nooks and crannies for goodies and the seller/provider should have showed due dillegance too.

My elderly neighbor found one of her husban's revolvers and insisted that I get it out of her house. I did, but I paid her too because it was the right thing to do.

This reminds me of the ooccasional stories that surface from time to time when a home owner finds a grenade in their attic.



Home owner makes a panicked call to the police and they come out and cordon off the area while the bomb squad is dispatched. Does anyone think
that the grenade is going to suddenly go off after laying there since WWII?
And of course 99 times out of 100 it's a dummy grenade to boot.

Apparently she called the media first.

For real.

Even my four-year old daughter knows enough to leave it alone and tell daddy right away.

Dang!.............

I would have went back to the Christian Life center and upped my donation for gifts like that!

I would say it was a church event....hey lets all get our junk together and have a yard sale......

Now some guy is going where did I put my laptop bag?.....

And the wife is asking....was it the black one?..........

Yes Hon! ........ It has my revolver in it, and I can not find it!

Wife..........

I think that I'm now gonna check bags like that at yard sales. Think I'll do that this Summer. I've seen a lot of stories of people like "my husband did have some old guns..." and just gotta join in on the fun!

For the bajillionth time, please stop lumping all of us together. We as a group (liberals) at least have the decency to pick your "conservative" nuthouses apart into their actual camps before we destroy them at the polls.

Honestly, how many Conservatives are anti gun? How many Liberals are anti gun? That's why so many of us lump you guys with the Anti gunners because voting your way will get guns banned much much faster then voting our way.

It's like shooting yourself in the foot no pun intended.

Both sides (conservative and liberal) make accusations against the other side's methods. Both sides also do the same thing they accuse the other side of doing.

Ok 4 pages of "Look How Dumb People Can Be" is enough. Not very THR at all really. And please stop with the Liberal this and Conservative that.
