Female Army Captain Leaves Pistol and Ammo in Supermarket Toilet
In 40 years of service, I thought I had witnessed just about every act of crass stupidity known to man [or woman].
But this takes the buiscuit. Army Captain from Intelligence [sic] on military exercise goes into Sainsbury supermarket to use the loo. Takes off webbing belt, complete with holstered 9mm pistol filled with blank ammo and promptly departs, leaving it behind.
Surprise, surprise, when she twigs and rushes back to retrieve said webbing, it's gone.
Balmpot, or what? For a start, in this day and age, what on earth possessed her to carry a weapon in a public place? And into a supermarket? Is this another weapon on the streets in the wrong hands?
As a military officer she is supposed to have a reasonable level of effective intelligence and common sense...??
Words fail me. I will be interested to see what the court martial gives her...
