HUH?! How do you drop a gun that weighs obviously something, and not know it? That is, unless it's one of those mouse guns.

Don't have a link but it was in SC at the Sam's in Columbia. It was her Gandmother's purse not her Mother's.

Should he have simply been given his firearm back and asked not to do it again?

Well, what would be your recommendation for handling the case of negligently leaving a loaded firearm in a playground full of children?
Should he have simply been given his firearm back and asked not to do it again?

I guess I was under the wrong impression when Mike (super moderator)posted the online petition to restore open carry in SC and folk were signing it in favor of open carry ,also started a flier campaign to get more folks to sign the petition.I can see now that it's worthless in your opinion to try and get OC here,people in sc obviously don't have anyBACKING to do anything of this caliber.My reason for joining this site was to help in any way I could to help get things changed to make it better for gun owners ,But I guess I was just pissing in a huricane..SO THIS WILL BE MY LAST POST ON THIS SITE...

Why, thank you for your dedication.
I signed the petition. I don't suppose we'll ever know if M∧P.40 signed ... or Anony Mouse.

I'll leave this up toJake Knottshe seems to control things in columbia anyway.

Seems like every post on here now has to have bashing. This thread was not about me ,but for some reason you made it that way.WHY?
This thread was suppose to about a little girl finding a gun.
THANKS VERY MUCH , DOUG HUFFMAN

Not alot of respect for members around here! If you can't express your point of view ,How can you have an opinion? I've never said anything out of the way to anyone on this forum.
I shouted because it is irresponsible and unexceptable for a grown man with firearms safetytraining to drop a loaded handgun where innocent children will be exposed to the dangers ofA firearm.Guns in the wrong hands do kill whether
accidental or deliberate.

The point of arresting the man was...what? He already felt stupid and learned the lesson.
Was anyone hurt? No
Was property damaged? No.
Therefore, I see no reason for any restitution since nobody was hurt.
Edit: Didn't see the trespassing charge.

In Oregon, they figure that although most people are literate, not EVERYONE is literate. Therefore, Oregon requires some one to ask that you leave. If you don't, they can call the police, who will write you a warning for trespassing on private property (basically to make a documented account), and if you still don't leave or return in the future, then you can be charged with trespassing. That's what I learned when I was trespassing on private property. Unfortunately, there WEREN'T any signs, but they had a security company patrolling the are every so often, and I just happened to be there when they were there :banghead:

I do not know South Carolina law, but I would not be surprised to find that they had something similar to Virginia Code 18.2-56.1, which states in part:
I am neither lawyer nor judge, but were I on a jury I would not have a problem finding the individual in question guilty of this offense. I would think a fine and community service appropriate for a first offense by an individual who had no prior record of such behavior.
I would still be interested to know Mr. Huffman's view, if he cares to share it.

He was responsible enough to have been permitted in the first place, that is enough of an infringement. No one was harmed. I doubt WE have enough of the fundamentals of risk calculus to demonstrate significance. I don't believe further action is necessary.
