Would you have said something?

[CO_Kid]

I'd have pointed out to him that he forgot it, especially if he was getting as far from it as you said.

But I'm also the guy who has been known to sit down at the table of the overtly loud people at a restaurant and start eating their food figuring since they want me to hear their conversation, I might as well be sitting at their table.

I was told many years go that we have the freedom to do whatever we want, but there are consequences for the choices we make.

Actually, freedom isn't doing anything you want...it's choosing to do what you ought to do...

 

[Florida Guy]

Considering you had a previous history with this guy, I probably wouldn't have said anything to him.
I may have spoken to the manager though. He is the one to oversee this situation.

The manager and him are buddys. They must have bs`ed for ten minuets while the gun was on the bench alongside him. I guess we are wearing this thread out.

I would have kept my mouth shut as long as he didn't flag me with it. The instant he did, I'd give him a piece of my mind. I'll only tolerate so much.

 

[Black_Sheep]

I have no filter so I probably would have said something. It's one thing to leave a laptop, cell phone or a set of car keys laying around unattended in a public place. It's quite another thing to leave a loaded firearm laying around in a public place, especially with complete strangers nearby.

When I run my truck through the car wash I discretely remove my revolver from the console and slip it into a pocket...

You could have picked up his weapon, shot him in the leg, then say, "Sorry, I didn't think people left guns lying around in public if they're loaded. My bad."

Just kidding....kind of.

I suggested previously to overstep the manager and go to the owner. S/he needs to know that his manager is an idiot and what kind of idiocy the manager is allowing, and what kind of liability risk the manager is to the owner.

The only J I have left is a 36 like Ferals (bobbed hammer stags, but blued) . When I carry it it goes in a back pocket. If the guy was concerned about leaving it in his car he should have stuck it in a pocket. He is an idiot. His mom didn't give him enough attention when he was a kid so he's looking for it now.

You could have done like on the cop shows -
Yell *GUN!!!* Then tackle him.
