Tillamook gun owner apologizes for movie theater scare, just wanted to see 'The Hobbit' | OregonLive.com
Thoughts on this? The gun owner's actions? The police response?
I kind of feel - it was stupid (to lose it, then not to immediately return to the theatre), it was also innocent (no bad intent), but there's no room for stupidity where CCW is concerned. I think nothing will come of the charges (probably doesn't meet the test for reckless endangerment, I doubt the DA will even file), but he won't get his concealed handgun license (CHL we call it here) license back for a good while, if ever.
With concealed carry pistols ever smaller and lighter, holsters getting more minimalist, and every Tom Dick and Harry getting a CCW now, I think this sort of thing is bound to be happening more often. I'm going to start checking under movie seats - would like me a nice Beretta.
