      It used to be her service weapon. It was purchased from the department when they updated equipment.

      so do they have responsibility for their weapons?

      like securely locked-up whenever they are not on physically in possession and in control of them?

        People should be charged with a crime when their unsecured firearms are used in a crime like this. I’m not holding my breath on this one. No way a cop actually faces criminal charges for this. But they should :(

        They absolutely fucking do. Most of these situations happen because of some negligent fucking asshole who owns a firearm. It’s so easy to make sure it’s locked up and inaccessible to others. I own firearms and know exactly where they are at at all times and know that they are secure, there’s no fucking excuse for that negligence
