A former federal air marshal familiar with the situation told CNN that newly hired air marshals do not currently receive on-the-job training and said this incident might have been avoided if the individual had been paired with a senior air marshal.
"She made a mistake because she wasn't given the appropriate tools to succeed," the former air marshal said."
Suck my ass, you'd have thrown any CCWer in the slammer for doing the same thing. Hell, most on this site would! Not me.
Fuck you!

Forgetting a pistol in the shitter is, I believe, much more common than most gun owners care to admit. in other words, I think many have done it (probably more than once too) but not many will admit to it. And yes, I have forgotten it in the shitter at least once while at work. I ran back to the stall about 15 or 20 minutes later only to find the NY Slimes newspaper laid out on the floor of the stall - meaning someone had been there after me. My pistol was still in place atop the toilet paper holder just as had left it. Thanks whoever you were for not flushing my career down the toilet by reporting it.

Great. Thanks fellas.
Now every time I take a dump in a public shitter, I'm gonna go in hoping I find a gun, and leave disappointed with someone else's ass germs.

Common sense outweighs the stupid ass excuse of "not having the training". The whole purpose entirely of an air marshall on a flight is for the safety against violent and or dangerous individuals. The person that noticed the firearm should have been awarded for potentially saving lives even though that may be a stretch. The air marshal should be fired immediately. Not treating a deadly weapon with the proper care and attention while exposed to anyone that could take advantage with a mental illness or violent idea is not acceptable. The gun obviously is not inherently dangerous by itself, but that is too big of a mistake while everyone onboard is vulnerable to a single nut job on the plane that could excess the handgun. I'm shocked by the fact she's still employed, obviously she doesn't understand the fundamentals of firearm safety even after being trained... enough to get that job. It's the fact that she did exactly the fucking opposite of what she was supposed to do.

Man, the selfies people take can be downright disgusting and that one above it a perfect example.
I know, Glocks aren't my favorite either, but I didn't post it.

I don't know about you guys, but ANY time I take anything out of my pockets, manipulate a jacket at a restaurant or movie, or drop my pants in the shitter, I turn around to look behind me if I'm walking and always scan the ground, seat, floor to see if anything fell out. I would be hypervigilant if I was carrying a firearm, which should go without saying. Losing a receipt or a twenty dollar bill is one thing, leaving a gun behind is unforgivable... and would be incredibly unnerving regardless if it was recovered.
I'll place my gun, while in the holster, either in my pants or in a coat pocket, that way I can't forget it and its still concealed from prying eyes. Why can't the stall dividers and door go all the way to the floor? That would make things so much easier.

Is that a Browning?Have you considered a 1911?
Remember that thinking it can't happen to you almost assures that someday it will. You will become as comfortable with your CCW as you are now with your wallet in your pocket and that is when you become vulnerable to stuff like this.

Well, that's the thing. I don't feel comfortable with things in my pockets, hence my always checking to see if things are where they should be. It would be nice to become that comfortable, but I'll likely always be cognizant of its presence
This is something that could NEVER happen with me....
I refuse to poop anywhere in public. Has never happened in my adult life. I will not poop in a resturant, a store and certainly not in a freaken plane. Damn, the plane could crash and I would die with my pants down, no sir, not me!

I thought I was the only one who SHARTED, Damn my father must of planted other seeds some where else. Good for him, this picture put a smile on my face and the hope of a Step-Brother some where out there, Plus nice taste of guns as well.
Guns?
Where?
Near that shit stain and homosexual identification accessory?
I'm afraid I don't see it.
A common rookie mistake is to be adjusting your shirt to make sure the gun is concealed and patting your holster to verify the gun is there. You will give yourself away doing this. Its a paradox, you must be comfortable enough with your CCW to forget, or at least ignore, that its there but not so comfortable as to become complacent.

I'm sure it will likely take me a while to get comfortable, but I doubt I'll ever get complacent with it. Especially since my little guy is always trailing around me.
It took me quite a while to get 100% comfortable while CC'ing, to the point that I barely feel or sense that it is on me.
That said, whenever I change positions, such as sitting to standing or vice versa, or entering or leaving somewhere, I am in the habit of always subtly checking that everything is in its' proper place,- wallet, keys, money, phone. Whatever else. Normally don't need to physically touch my EDC though as I then get a sense of it's presence anyway.
If my clothes have been off or even just adjusted such as in a bathroom or bedroom, it becomes a full check of everything and every pocket before I leave that place.
One last thing: whenever I'm standing in any kind of a line, I always keep moving around just a bit,- looking left, right, around, and subtly behind me. Helps to keep people from packing it in too close to me. If I'm CC'ing on my hip, I definitely keep that location "open" and away from anyone directly behind me.
