We're the Only Ones Rangy and Guarded Enough

A Harnett County sheriff’s deputy earlier this week left an unloaded shotgun at a shooting range behind a state prison...

On Thursday morning, a group of inmates was cleaning the shooting range and someone found the shotgun on a picnic table, Rollins said. The shotgun was returned to the Sheriff’s Office.

The sheriff said it was his understanding that an inmate found the gun. But a spokesman at the prison said an inmate did not find it. He would not comment further and referred questions to the Sheriff’s Office.
If it was an inmate who handed it over, do you suppose they'll prosecute him for being a felon in possession of a firearm?

Leaving guns laying around for prisoners to find...you can't make this stuff up.
