The woman who drove off with it on her trunk needs to be disciplined for not going through proceadure and the man who forgot he put it there needs to be fired NOW! Inexcuseable.
As a civilian, I CAN own an M-16 that is not current manufacture.

I saw this on Q13 too. They commented several times that SPD did not know if the weapon was loaded. It seemed clear to me that a magazine was inserted in the well. Does SPD normally keep an EMPTY magazine in the weapons they use? I think not.
