Apparently a "veteran" member of the SWAT team in Utah left his M-4 carbine behind when he was leaving a crime scene. The story goes on to say that he would be disciplined, but probably not fired.
Umm, why not?
Leaving a loaded weapon a front yard in a neighborhood is pretty dangerous, and borders on the stupid.
Let me imagine the scene:
"Flex cuffs, yep. Flash grenades, yep. Flashlight, yep. Body armor and helmet, yep. Guess that's all I need"
Don't you think he would have noticed that his weapons holder in his car was empty or something?
Remembering your weapon is one of the most basic things in the world.
If he doesn't get fired, I think he should have the darned thing super glued to his hands for a day, or at least have to have it tied to his belt for a while to teach him not to lose track of weapons.
