It is not an offense to leave a firearm unattended in public.Dwight K. Schrute wrote:As I stated before, IANAL, but if leaving a gun unattended in public... and that's what you're doing, NguyenVanDon, with respect... is not illegal, I would truly be shocked.
It is an offense to allow a minor to come into possession of a loaded firearm under some circumstances; see PC §46.13.
I have just one comment on this issue: Some years ago, I used to use a park that had tennis courts. People would leave their gym bags by the fence inside the tennis courts, and sometimes purses in the case of women. The kids who lived in the area became adept at snatching these items while people were concentrating on their game.
