A loose gun!

I can’t help myself. It’s pathetic. I am helpless with laughter.

Don’t ask me why, for how can I discredit our hard working law keepers.

Well, as we say in these parts any police man would bungle it up just once, and that is what the poor man did. Leave the poor guy alone, for god’s sake.

He was deputed for training on the safety of VVIP’s. The man was a little careless, as was natural; the unsuspecting guy went for a stroll leaving his bag on the seat of the bus he was in. An opportunist thief( would the god ever forgive him!) took advantage of it and stole the bag. The poor cop would certainly have kept mum about the whole incident no doubt, ( man, think about the shame!) but the problem was , the bag contained a service pistol issued to him for the purpose of training, and ammunition enough to shoot down a few honest citizens. Reluctantly he reported it to the concerned.

We the public was unaware that a loaded gun was amongst us threatening our very safety till the moron who stole the gun started showing off by pointing it at all and sundry and in open daylight. The ignorant people thought that it was a toy gun till the gun started making genuine gun noises. The guy was taken in and revealed the origin of the gun.

The poor officer is now under “you know what it is officially called”, and an investigation is on about the incident.

My doubt is, if these are guys entrusted with the security of our VVIP’s would they be safe even among children! The children could get hold of a gun easily from the body guards themselves…… and you know play a little dangerous trick with it……..Oh my, how the imagination runs. All because a poor honest hardworking law keeper bungled just once in his whole life! Think about the ingratitude, the man has done umpteen numbers of heroic deeds, for what else was he selected for this very special training.

Our poor man must be thinking about the hard facts of life while he is cooling his heels at his home.
