Civilian Finds Rifle Left in Unlocked Vehicle by Guardsman on Border Mission

"A National Guardsman on the southern border mission left a loaded M4 rifle in an unlocked vehicle Thursday, which was quickly found by a civilian.
"I think it's irresponsible, reckless and a danger to public safety if that's the way the National Guard is doing things," Marianna Treviño Wright, who found the weapon, told Military.com. "If they cannot secure their weapons, how are they supposed to secure the border?"
Treviño Wright is the executive director of the National Butterfly Center, a 100-acre nature preserve on the U.S.-Mexico border. She said there were five vehicles in front of the preserve, some belonging to the National Guard and others being Border Patrol vehicles.
One vehicle had soldiers in it, which drove away when she approached. Treviño Wright saw a pickup truck used by Guardsmen still running and noticed a loaded M4 with a close combat optic, or CCO, attached in the driver's seat. It also had at least one assault pack and multiple floatation devices in the bed."

This is the most guard thing ever.
Wonder it she will face charges for taking it?

Sounds like the civilian was being unnecessarily nosy.

There's another tweet where they claimed it was a "full automatic rifle"

Unsecured weapon?
Someone's about to have a sergeant buried so far up their arse that when the sergeant burps, they're gonna taste it.
Also, how did this woman know it was loaded without entering the vehicle and touching the rifle? As far as I know, standard issue magazines don't have windows on them that allow you to see if there are bullets in them. Wouldn't the only ways to know if it's loaded be to drop the magazine, pull the charging handle back, or disengage the safety and pull the trigger?

You don't find shite in someone's car. What she did was burglary.

sounds like B&E to me
ETA: not to mention possession of an automatic weapon w/o a federal license

so they are under standing orders to run away rather then contact anyone that might be an illegal trying to surrender.
this is our border control policy under the potato
at least she didnt drive off with the running vehicle they left for her.
can you imagine if she was an illegal? or how about a terrorist crossing the open boarder to find a running vehicle, with a loaded assault rifle inside, as a gift for them for entering america illegally

Fearing the weapon could be taken by someone with bad intentions, she confiscated it and immediately called Border Patrol authorities
Its uncanny how insane people are today.
