Quote: For those on this board that are sworn officers, please please please please please if you are going to come to Downtown MPLS to enjoy our night life, professional sports, shopping, dinning what have you, DO NOT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD LEAVE A PISTOL loaded or otherwise in your CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! three times in as many weeks we have taken reports from off duty officers who have had their department weapons stolen from them, please think about the amount of paper work that both the officers responding to take your report are going to have to do and the amount of paper your home agency is going to require and the grief you will get over this.. Thank you for your support.

Quote: think about the amount of paper work Oh the humanity. 
ETA: If my gun was stolen from my car while I was downtown, would there be paperwork for me as well? Would it be a lot? If so, would I get help filling it out?

Notice there's no mention of concern about what the stolen gun might be used for?

Right, just a quip at the end of the post about, "one more gun on the streets."

Is this the gun "stole" loophole I have heard so much about?

As good a definition as any.

As much as I loathe coming into Sodom and Gomorrah on the Missippi for ANY reason, if there's free handguns laying around I might be persuaded.
Unless, of course, these are glocks that are being tossed. In that case, I'll pass.

Daz harsh.
I am all there for the free guns though.
I wonder, if I was an officer and "lost" a dept gun and the dept replaced that gun. . . if I could sell the "lost" gun to a thug? Just a thought.

MPD does not issue duty pistols to officers, they must provide their own. These officers are losing their own private property
