Loaded gun found on Animal Kingdom ride

[Mark In KY]

As if this doesn't already happen? <grin>

You are a bad influence. I prefer Boddington's as to be found at the most excellent Rose and Crown or Safari Amber as to be found at various spots in AK. I'll leave the Bud Lite to the dirty pajama/filthy house slipper wearing WalMartians and their snot nose spawn.

Then he should be banned.Simples. ignorance of the policies is no excuse.

No, he didnt break any law so they chose not to tresspass him. They chose to ask him to leave for the day.

I'm fine with that based on the way the guest handled the situation. He owned up to his screwup and he had the proper paperwork.

Walmartians. That's going to be my word for the day. That being said, I have nothing against Walmart. Though I do shop at Tar-jay. (only because it's closer to my house)

I prefer the term 'Honey Boo-Boos'

WalMart: where people go to shop for that "good Chinese stuff" (I usually use another word other than stuff).

Also known as "World of Disney".

Back on topic (yeah right): guns are not needed, required, or appropriate in WDW.

So true. I actually had this discussion with several good friends tonite. They were over for dinner and drinks and were taking a gander at my Disneyana. We all commented on the "Made in China" designation on soooo much of it. It's a sad state of affairs; unless you are making $$ off of it.

I don't mind he had a gun on property, what raises my eyebrows is that he lost it.

I have a CC permit, and a Walther. I know where it is at all times. If I'm traveling and not taking it with me, I secure it someplace I trust and know it won't be used. I'd NEVER bring it on Disney Parks, nor do I take it when I travel if I'm not driving.

As I said before...you don't just "lose" a handgun. That's negligence, and considering the legal implications and potential ramifications of it, the simple fact a ride "shook" it out of his pocket should cost him his license, in my opinion.

As you obviously recognize, WDW is no place for a firearm, permit or not.

No place is a place for a firearm that is not well controlled. Bans are all nice and good, but firearms have prevented crimes in the past, and I'm not the sort who thinks they don't (not trying to get political about it, but I do subscribe to the theory that police can be minutes away when help is needed in seconds)...

That being said, people like this who have their sidearm dislodged "from a pocket" on a shaky amusement park ride and don't realize it until it's recovered...they do not need licenses to carry. I'd be interested to know if a round was chambered. If it was, I have even more questions regarding the incident.

I've a few friends who insist that when they carry they do so with chambered rounds, and I strongly disagree. That's just asking for an unfortunate accident, and with a semi-auto, chambering a round is a matter of seconds.

If you need more than the time it takes to chamber a round to decide if you are going to use that level of force, than you really should re-evaluate whether you should be carrying at all.

Again, all my opinion.

And yet a gun fell "out of a pocket" on a ride in AK.

some people are still very irresponsible, not everyone who has a drivers license is a safe driver

Maybe he once saw the Pirates of the Caribbean with their muskets, became afraid, and thought "never again".

Mayhaps he mistook a relatives advice to "shoot a lot of pictures"

Could be that he was confused by the concept of Star Wars weekends and did not realize that a handgun with hallow points was in fact not a weapon from the saga.

Perhaps he thought his price on limited time magic of hunting on the Savanah was agreed on by Iger and word hadn't gotten back that they were going to pass for Starbucks's offer.

There's a chance he was an alien unaware of human courtesy and custom when one is in The World, and meant it as a sign of devotion and humbleness to the human race in honor of a great pact long since forged by John Carter many moons ago, and not a pointless, silly, ill concocted, selfish act of entitlement that luckily ended OK.

What is John Carter?

A very costly mistake.

But if it is a rule, there should be signs at the checkpoints, just like in any privately owned office complex that says I can't carry a gun on property. If it isn't a rule, then again the only issue was that he was careless and dropped it.

Good idea. The signs can be like those Timon and Pumbaa safety ones, but instead, it's Bambi.
