A SWAT team officer packing up after a hostage situation in Utah left an M4 carbine on the lawn of a home. A resident found it and reported it to the police.

The article doesn't say, but the M4 is a select-fire carbine.

I think I'd have taken 30 seconds to remove the firing pin before calling it in.

I would have been sorely tempted to take it to the range.

At least they didn't accuse the guy who found it of something. Things like that have happened.

I would have been sorely tempted to bury it in the cold cold ground.

Nah...just convert it to semiauto.

For the children.

Irresponsible owners of semi-fully-automatic assault weapon rifle carbines are a danger to children, or haven't you heard? When one of those semi-fully-automatic assault weapon rifle carbines is left lying around on the ground in a residential neighborhood where The Children could find it, we must do everything to render it useless.

It's for the chidren!

I think i might of taken a few seconds to take the:
Burst/semi disconnectors
Hammer
Auto sear
and associated pins

...for the children!

Finders Keepers.

Woops we need to go back I left my weapon laying in the kids sandbox.

What M4? There are not a lot of Beemers in this area...
