As for your sarcastic comment about him having it while he was running errands, it is not unheard of for people if they are used to carrying something every day and there is an instance where they are supposed to take it off and they forget to would sit here and try to act as though that is bizarre just shows that you want to be difficult.

And like I said, when he went out to see the president, it was a matter of just standing outside to catch a glimpse as bush left. So yes, he forgot to leave the gun in the car. Why is that so hard for you to comprehend?  |
When I have carried a firearm, I have never, ever FORGOTTEN I was carrying it. The only other people I can think of on GC who have spoken on their gun ownership are honeychile and DGTess, but I believe we've all have had training (I have had pistol and rifle marksmanship courses) and that is part of the training. You don't forget you have your weapon, and you assume all weapons are loaded and ready to fire at all times. That's basic firearm safety and this person you're mentioning works in a gun store and really should know better.
I mean if I am going to and from the field and carrying a weapon, I am not going to stop in at the bank or on campus, where guns are verboten and just forget I have it.
