AT LEAST SHE COPPED TO IT RIGHT AWAY

Police Chief Leaves Pistol In Restroom, It Grows Legs

by Bob Walsh

Deanna Cantrell is the Chief of Police of San Luis Obispo, CA. A day or two ago she stopped for lunch at a Pollo Loco and made a pit stop while she was there. In the process she left her pistol which had of course disappeared by the time she realized what she had done and gone back for it.

Fortunately the restaurant has good surveillance and they have a very good image of a man making a very short trip followed by a very fast exit from the can so they are pretty sure who has the gun.

I remember hearing from my old buddy Jeff Doyle (aka Paco Villa) a very slick trick he learned from somebody else along the line about how to avoid this problem, which comes up more often that one would think. If you are taking care of some business that requires you to sit down, put your pistol into your underwear rather than sitting it on the crapper or somewhere else. That greatly lessens the chance of you walking away and forgetting about it.
