I was looking at the end of the pistol,and trying to determine if it was a 9MM,or a 45 Cal.pistol. It looked like a 45 Cal.pistol. That's a US Army type side arm.

He should have definitely secured that pistol. There are trigger locks,safes,and other ways to secure pistols. He could have taken the magazine out of that semi-automatic pistol so there would be no ammunition in it. It's really his fault for not securing it.

Construction people use to leave Blasting caps around on the ground. They use to have commercials telling people what they looked like,and to stay away from them. My point in saying this is people should not leave life threatening things around. What if a child picked it up? BF
