If they can tell the world that "Justin" won't be in ARHS until the investigation is concluded then they ought to be able to say something on this.<br /><br />As an aside -- the incident I am thinking of (not in Amherst) involved an officer leaving her (loaded) handgun in a restroom (and leaving the restroom/area) and a civilian finding it and doing exactly what I would have -- taking possession of it so that a child didn't. She then somehow brought it to the attention of the authorities that she had found *a* gun and wanted them to take possession of it.<br /><br />They did so, and then arrested her for possession of the gun without proper licensing and such. You'd kinda think they'd realize that it was their weapon, at least when they ran the serial number and it came back as having been sold to *them*.<br /><br />And you really don't want a small child playing with a handgun, do you????Dr. Ednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035949355013113578.post-74294429289730755382014-02-06T07:36:37.131-05:002014-02-06T07:36:37.131-05:00I grilled a 6th grader and she seems to think they...I grilled a 6th grader and she seems to think they temporarily lost a special needs student.Larry Kelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02614645831526190536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035949355013113578.post-3861310437406520902014-02-06T00:01:25.567-05:002014-02-06T00:01:25.567-05:00I'm wondering if someone lost a purse or somet...I'm wondering if someone lost a purse or something and they wanted to find it.
