LOL

my father in law has about 8 guns stashed throughout the house, his trucks and his 'garage.'


while i personally could not foresee losing any of my guns, i could see it happening with those who own a lot.




for the record, im not defending this dude's actions - just trying to play devils advocate.

i have a ton of different bags at my house and at any given time i will retrieve one and use it as my 'carry all' bag for a while. i cant begin to tell you the number of odd things ive found in my bags after using them for weeks...

in one instance, i found a banana that had been rotting in one of the pockets for so long that it was reduced to the size of a jalapeno.


it was disgusting.

point is, i didnt know it was there and didnt find it until i was looking for a pen one day.

had that been a pocket pistol, like the charged was carrying, and some ammo - i'd have been in the exact same boat... WITH receipts from all kinds of places sitting around and possibly on top of it.

i guess im just thinking that if someone were to carry on with the intent of doing harm, they would; 1) find a better hiding spot and 2) pick something besides a pocket pistol that will require 5-7 well placed shots to take down an averaged size man.

no bueno!

my instinct tells me that this was an accident.

but do you think there was an intent to do harm here, or just an honest mistake?
