DHS loses 243 weapons

[Red Ryder]

You know, I suppose it could happen to anyone who carries on a daily basis but this is a bit much. Dept Homeland Security lost 243 weapons. One of them was left inside an idling vehicle while the office was in a convenience store. The weapons was later recovered <span style="font-style: italic">from a suspected gang member. </span>

Here's the linky

Re: DHS loses 243 weapons

From a buddy who is a fed with another agency this is not only a DHS problem. Seems that the new generation of idiots who don't think they need a gun to do their job don't seem to think it is important enough to take care of the one they are given.

I carried an M16 for 8 years but I never lost it.

They should at LEAST, at a VERY minimum have to pay for these weapons.

There is no excuse in my mind, but maybe that's because I had a pretty awesome drill sergeant and some of these yahoos didn't even HAVE a drill sergeant!!

Boltripper,

DUDE! Don't tell me that biatch posted that video I convinced her to make on YouTube!?

Hey my last comment on redheads is that Bruce Springsteen wrote a song about redheaded women. The Boss knows what he's talkin' about.

Re: DHS loses 243 weapons

Yeah, this story is less than inspiring. People should get crushed for losing a weapon. There's absolutely no excuse for this. I wonder what the punishment is for losing a weapon?

I know that there are PROBABLY some decent people working there. But the two that I know, or used to know, are A$$holes that couldn't find their asses with both hands and a road map.

Re: DHS loses 243 weapons

I smell a scam. I'm feeing some of these guys/gal's might have make a little extra cash on the side and claimed it as a lost weapon. Just sayin.

Re: DHS loses 243 weapons

That does not supprise me at all. The people that work at the DHS are very interesting to deal with. I was always told to stay clear of that agency no matter what.

Re: DHS loses 243 weapons

In the Army if I lost any of my weapons, not just an individual but as a Commander, I would have probably just now be getting out of Ft Leavenworth. This is a chain of command issue. There needs to be leaders fired for this to send a signal to their subordinates that this will not be tolerated.

WOW!!! is all can say about that.

That's exactly what I was thinking. If some dude left his M4 leaning up against a tree in land nav, it's hands across the training area until we find it. The truth is that if they don't crush people's careers for this kind of negligence, it will continue to go on. That kind of irresponsibility is sickening.

Re: DHS loses 243 weapons

Had a platoon sergeant in 5/9 Inf - Alaska 1989 - his son or himself ha an arty simulator in his basement.

It went off, blew out windows.

Next thing you know he's up at Battalion HQ pushing papers, promomted from SFC to Msgt.

Guy was a moron from the start, the big questions is "How did that arty simulator GET into your on-base housing?"...oh theft is OK when you make SFC.

BATFE should raid DHS and find out where all those "lost" weapons went - Mexican mafia?

I can assure you that Joe Citizen is doing worse than the US LE Community and at a higher frequency. I deal with it all the time and it is outrageous. Bottom line is WE ALL need to be more responsible, badge or not.

Re: DHS loses 243 weapons

Maybe we should all start checking stalls for guns now. It'd be alot cheaper than buying them, or you could be a real smartass. Hey Officer are you missing something?
