Many small children play in the abandoned building. So I'm walking by one and look in the door and on the floor I find this fully loaded.. Bad accident waiting to happen.

Might want to turn that one in.
It's not an old gun, and I bet someone misses it :unhappysmiley:

You might have just found evidence. heh
BEST turn that one in...
Tiz shady as hell... Could be stolen etc etc.
I do not think someone just "lost" or "dropped it"... that was tossed there.

I would have never touched it.
I would have called and waited for cops to show...
Sheesh man you could be in possession of a bad situation.

I assume this was not in the U.S. and there is no police to contact?

It has been there awhile by the looks of it and Az gun laws allow open or conceal carry, it is an open carry rig and could easily have been dropped there by accident as someone was taking a break.....

M... but would you not "miss" this immediately ?
OR... upon realizing it was gone immediately return for a search for it ?

The dust has gathered upon the side... with exception of where he handled grip butt...
Which shows that it has probably "sat" for a bit there...
lost owner would have retraced and would have been found IMO.

Would you just say "blah forget it"... and never return ?

TH... I know YOU would return :)

Good save, and getting it out of the hands of a possible accident with kids.

I didn't know that there was a bombed out village in AZ, the What, Where, when did this happen comes to mind.

I would suspect with that cheap holster that it was accidentally dropped and not noticed. It is amazing to me that someone would trust Velcro to secure a weapon, but many do. Strapped on the outside of a backpack and the person would have never noticed when it went missing.
