Kids Find Loaded Glock 9mm On Seattle Beach - A crime?
Kids Find Loaded Glock 9mm On Seattle Beach
http://seattlest.com/2009/06/19/kids...mm_on_seat.php
A school field trip to Seattle's Carkeek Park went wayward, after two 10-year-old boys discovered a loaded Glock 9mm pistol lying on the beach. Naturally curious, the two North Beach Elementary School fourth graders picked up the weapon, believing it was a toy gun. Much to their surprise, it was real--and loaded. At that point, they proceeded to bring the loaded gun to their teacher. (Umm, may we suggest taking gun safety classes this summer.) Police were called shortly after and later determined the gun was not stolen. Thankfully, no one was hurt.
OK....so police have determined that the gun was not stolen........but SURELY charged should be filed, eh??
Or at least I'd imagine.
If they did, in fact, track down the owner and it was a case of, "Uhhhh, yeah! That's mine! I lost it the other day while I was out....but I can't remember exactly when or where..." - Has PA law been broken?
Your thoughts....

In PA, no 'official' law, but there are some that 'could' apply; In Washington, where it happened, yes, there IS a statute against leaving a loaded weapon unattended.
