Story from the Falmouth ME police Facebook
Reasons to have a legit holster, not a cheap uncle miles or otherwise flimsy one.
Earlier this week, officers from the Falmouth Police Department responded to a local restaurant after an attentive employee located a firearm left behind by a customer in the dining room. The employee did an exceptional job securing the area while officers responded, ensuring the safety of other patrons.
The weapon, which was a loaded handgun, was safely recovered by Falmouth Police. Following a brief investigation, the gun’s owner was identified and contacted. After consulting with our partners at the Cumberland County District Attorney’s Office, the firearm was returned to the owner along with safety guidance about responsible gun ownership.
We share this story to remind all of those who choose to carry a firearm to please invest in a quality holster. Please also prioritize the importance of weapon retention. We are thankful this situation did not result in a gun being found by an unsuspecting child or by someone with negative intentions. As a friendly reminder, the Falmouth Police Department is proud to offer free gun locks through Project Childsafe and they are available at anytime in our lobby at 2 Marshall Drive.
