Lost, found, recovered, and returned firearm

[mcshooter]

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.

There are no two tone ppks. That's probably one of those bulgarian mak clones or something similar. Whole thing smells very flinty, though.

Props to the restaurant guy for securing the area exceptionally.

Boo, how am I supposed to find gun friendly restaraunts and adopt lonely pew pews?

Sure there are, just not from the factory. I'm thinking the guy that dropped this thinks electrical tape is a substitute for grips.

Heh.

I'd have thought it was this sort of thing...

You're right, fixing

Though still doesn't mean a cheap holster that doesn't keep the weapon secure is a good choice.

No Massachusetts PD gives you your gun back with a chipper “be more careful next time fella”

 

[mac1911]

My bet is it did not fall out, it was placed there to keep it from digging into his kidney while he ate. Then he just forgot it when they slide their full belly arse out of there.

This pic sure looks like a wall at a pizza joint down here. I guess it could be a common thing?

Yeah, not unless the gun dropper is connected, LE, politician or something. Then it doesn't even show in the news.

 

[Marty McFly]

You do? In Falmouth MA you say? What is the name of this restaurant in Falmouth MA please?

Thanks

Read my previous statement. Lol calm down dude

 

[Sterg]

That’s not a PPK or PPK clone. It’s a compact 1911 style 9.

It’s ironic that I see this thread when just the other day I went to DQ with my daughter and grabbed the Seecamp and stuck it in my pocket. I was wearing sweats and when I got home the pistol was laying on the seat of the car. I had it in a well known custom leather pocket holster. I won’t be doing that again.

Imagine the Leo is giving you the safe gun speech and you are like yeah dude but I ate too much to appendix carry man.

 

[one-eyed Jack]

Can we get the owner's contact info so that we can ask him where he got the ammo? Jack.

^ This.

How many times you think the busboy had to tackle the pistol
before it stopped resisting and waited quietly for the police to arrive?

 

[ns939393]

Almost as important as the gun I bet that's like 20 bucks worth of ammo in todays prices.

If this was MA, the story would read something like:

"Heroic police officers arrest man, shoot dog after no knock raid at 3:00 am due to a gun that was left behind and traced to XYZ"

 

[oldguy68]

Gets his pistol back and realizes that someone stole the ammo out of it..
I would like to file a police report for ammo stolen out of the pistol I left at that restaurant.

Maybe it was "Investment Grade Ammunition".

At my old job one of the stores in Manchester called me.

Someone had returned one of the "knock off" plano cases that we sold with their pistol in it. Cannot for the life of me remember what pistol it was. They grabbed some nitrile gloves and made sure it was unloaded and placed it back in the case and into the safe. I don't think we could find out who the customer was who returned it so Manchester PD came by to get it about 3 days later.

Now I'm wishing I got a shout out for securing the pistol case exceptionally.
