It's only reasonable to expect some stranger to provide the serial number so I have some assurance it's really their gun. Although, now that I'm thinking about it, maybe I should require some evidence they can legally possess a firearm.

You willing to wait till they get there??? For something you can take care of yourself??? A police officer taken off the street to pick up a gun somewhere???

Clearing and putting the firearm into a secured status, IS a better thing to do, it is NOT a crime, and you'd be doing something in the interest of public safety...Police officers are not the only ones who are responsible for public safety, in my opinion...In this case you'd get my support if you took it upon yourself and your knowledge of firearms to ensure the firearm doesn't fall into the wrong hands...

Ohhhhh, and since I would not trust an employee or even a manager of that facility, to safe the situation, that would be another reason people like us, in rare situations like this to act responsibly...
