JUNEAU - A 24-year-old Juneau woman went into a public restroom packing heat and left burned.
The Juneau Police Department reports Veronica Balle-Arnes was carrying a Ruger .380 - a small pocket pistol - worth about $400 with her Friday night.
She told police she took the gun out of her waistband and set it on top of a toilet paper dispenser in the women's room at the Fisherman's Wharf, a building on Juneau's downtown waterfront with a bar, eateries and shops.
She told police she forgot to pick it back up. When she realized it was missing a few moments later, she returned to the restroom but the gun was gone.

I saw that slit and wondered if it was a true story or not.

Alaska prices. Add 25%+ for everything.Carry-a-Kimber wrote:$400?!? Someone overpaid for their LCP
I believe this woman just learned a sad lesson: she did the right thing in reporting, and suffered because of it. Not only is her gun gone, but so is her right to carry one.

I don't fear guns; I fear voters and politicians that fear guns.

Re: Alaskan woman loses her LCP.
I remember, a couple of years back, a Met Police close protection officer did the same, in a Starbucks.

At the time, I thought it was unbelievably foolish. Then I moved to TX, got my CHL and found out just how awkward a bathroom break can be.

Re: Alaskan woman loses her LCP.
could he have thought that LCP was "License to Carry a Pistol" ???
Thats the only thing I can come up with.

I mistook the headline to mean she had lost her carry permit. I totally glossed over it being a Ruger LCP. So, I thought she lost her pistol, reported it, and had her license yanked.
Sorry!

Re: Alaskan woman loses her LCP.
I know that the cost of living in Alaska is atronomical on everyday items. I still think if someone is paying that extra premium for specialty items such as firearms which are readily available over the internet, they are paying too much.lkd wrote:You must be speaking for Anchorage and those "other cities near Hawaii".
