No he shouldn't have left it there in the first place, the retrieval then would not have matter?

Its a chargeable offence. I dont recall the max punishment, but it would probably be along the lines of a fine (and they arent small), loss of privaleges, depending on seriousness reduction in seniority/rank. Not sure if a trip to SCE would result.

I'm just glad I don't need "Protection" from "Professionals" like him! He's lucky to have the protection of his seniors!

It's not a case of him dragging a work colleague down with him. It's a "I fucked up, hey mate, here's where I was - are you in a position to mitigate the risk". Given the officer's proximity to the firearm, it was the only responsible option he / she had.

Or they could have done nothing.

I once left my dumpy level on a jobsite and had to call one of my labourers to go back and get it. Does that count?

Dumpy levels and pistols are way different.

More like your hearty workmates will do shit for you if you call on them. And vice versa

Could of been worse. He could of faced a situation that day where he needed it. Wouldn't that be a sinking feeling.

I found a sst rossi 44 mag 2 years ago left on a big log by a coded forestry gate , presumed the dude had the code ,those gates can be a bitch to line up correctly figured that's why he forgot the gun probably had a wet arse from sitting on the ground decoding the thing ! dropped it at the local copshop they said if it wasn't claimed within in 3 months its yours & said chances are he probably wont as hed loose his arms licence over it , 2 months latter I was in there getting my licence renewed the cop told me hed made a mistake & seemly guns get treated like cell phones & get destroyed !! what a waste .

Destroyed/in his safe at home
