Gun safety police lose weapons on way to teaching course
A pair of North Carolina police officers lost their guns and ammunition on their way to teaching a gun safety course.
The officers from Raleigh arrived in Wilson to find their two bags had disappeared from the back of their truck.
A driver found the bag containing an MP-5 submachine gun on the motorway.
Another found a handgun on another motorway.
Local police spent most of the day searching for the weapons and ammunition until the residents contacted them.
An MP-5 can fire 9mm ammunition at a rate of 800 rounds per minute.
When the officers realised what had happened they retraced their route into town but couldn't find the guns and had to call local police.
Two dozen police officers and Wilson County sheriff's deputies helped in the search without success until the two residents contacted them.
A spokesman for Raleigh police didn't return calls for a comment.

I sure hope their were some trigger locks on those lost guns. Could you imagine if someone got their hands on those lost weapons. With trigger locks on them, society would be safe.
....oh but I forgot cops are usually exempt fromn trigger lock legislation.
