Keeping Guns Off the Streets

Following is an entry in the Police Beat column of The Northern Forecaster, a local community newspaper:

"12/11 at 10:28 AM: Police responded to a call to Presumpscot River Park where the caller's dog had just unearthed a rifle wrapped in a blanket left in the park. Police took custody of the .22 rifle and scope, which was not loaded, and did a trace on it. The gun was sold in Milwaukee, Wis. in 1988, but there was no record of the owner. The gun will remain in Falmouth for a year, after which the police will destroy it."

We will certainly all breathe a little easier then.
