What happens if I leave my car keys lying around, and someone finds them, takes my car, and gets involved in a hit and run resulting in death? Should I be sentenced for losing my keys?
Serious mistake, yes, but not enough to fire the cop on a first offence. He should be repremanded and encouraged to take better care of his "tools". After all, his gun is just a tool he uses to do his job.
If someone wanted to commit a crime, they would do so regardless of whether or not they find a gun lying on the ground.
