Wow - that is so sad and disturbing on so many levels.
Gun + kids is the worst combination possible - even gun + alcohol pales in comparison.
Gotta love all those gun owners who are so responsible they can't remember to pack their deadly weapons - doesn't bode well for how carefully they secure their weapons at home/other times. :angry:

I didn't realize how common a gun left behind is until now. We had the same thing happen about 15 years ago when a guest left a gun on the closet shelf under the extra blankets. The next guest found it and had a cow.....and I don't blame them. Like SWGB, we left it in the safe for the guest to come back and pick it up, he did the following year!
I guess we don't really need to be as concerned about dirty comforters any longer. I'm certain that if, and that's a BIG IF, I traveled to a vacation destination with a gun, I would remember to pack it back up.
There is of course, the possibility that some of those guns weren't mistakenly left behind?

That's actually a very good possibility...
Obviously, my spouse generally always has a gun somewhere in his general vicinity - but I can't imagine him leaving it behind.
The other possibility is the proverbial drunk or addict.
I have a friend who had to rent a costume to go to a party with me, but we had gone to an afternoon wine tasting prior to his fitting. I went home and friend showed up later in his hysterical costume. He asked me to return it on Monday to the place right around the corner. I went there and the costume didn't belong to them.
They said it belonged to the place down the street, etc.
So, I call friend who reiterates he made the rental at the first place. Nothing I said could trigger his memory. I felt really badly for him at this point. But, I returned it to the real store and never mentioned the incident again.
That kind of forgetful drunkenness just isn't comical.......and, if that kind of person is leaving guns behind, that's just a really bad equation!

Probably safer to take it on vacay than leave it home with teenage children they didn't bring!
Guns kill people as much as spoons make Rosie O'Donnell fat :funn:
Classy. Animal rib bone I hope??
You mean it's NOT the spoon doin' it to me????
