According to WBOY, a mother and her preteen daughter were shocked on Sunday when they went to use the restroom at the Kroger on Emily Drive in Clarksburg and found an unattended handgun in the stall.

 

While the presence of the gun may be shocking, gun safety websites say that finding a gun in a public bathroom really isn’t that uncommon. In the same way that someone might remove their phone or wallet from their pocket prior to using the restroom, gun carriers also tend to remove their firearm from their belt or holster. Occasionally, the guns get left behind by mistake.

 

According to the Clarksburg Police Department, this is exactly what happened in Clarksburg over the weekend. Someone who was carrying the weapon legally removed it to use the restroom and simply forgot to put it back on.
