#4 Heck, compared to smacking a police officer, carrying a gun is nothing. I'm amazed they even arrested him. But just like nothing happened to McKinney, I'll wager nothing happens to this guy either in the long run.

#7 Any other profession and the guy would be suspected of planning to go Postal on his coworkers.

I still don't see how you forget you brought your gun to work in your briefcase. With the extra ammo.

I'm not saying he was up to no good, but I AM wondering how he could be so careless.

40 rounds? Sounds like you've got serious enemies.
