We're the Only Ones Maternal Enough

A Hartford police officer's service weapon - missing for more than three months - was taken to Bloomfield High School by her son and ended up in the hands of another student before being recovered this weekend after a report of shots fired on a city street, authorities say.

There can be only one response to this outrage: Sue the gun dealer!

Having lived near there I find this particularly sad.

Regarding the actions of the person involved, I'm sure any one of us would have gotten the same slap on the wrist... NOT!

"Gentry, who became a full-time Hartford police officer in June 2005, was arrested and charged with risk of injury to a minor. The charge was reduced on Sept. 7, when Gentry pleaded no contest to a new charge of improperly storing a loaded firearm with respect to minors, court records show.

She was ordered to pay a $100 fine"

I wonder if this paragon of virtue is still on the force?
