"Remember that one 9/11 that was like 100 degrees?"

So 9/11 this year takes on a hot and steamy identity as Hudson County and NYC take part in the 12th anniversary of the attacks. One quick note on what struck Johnny about the memorial services today. Those 9/11 babies aren't babies anymore, they're going into junior high and or middle school this year.

That sure was a vivid reminder this morning.

Chairs are pretty much gun lockers, right?

NYPD are looking for a man who may have twice identified himself as law enforcement (possibly from down south) who left a loaded gun in a hotel chair stuffed down in the cushions. Police say the man went to the 9/11 Memorial and asked about taking a gun inside and if off-duty police were allowed to carry guns inside. Told no, local security cameras show him going to a nearby hotel (Staff there said they didn't think he was a guest) and stashing the loaded handgun in a chair then getting back in line at the 9/11 Memorial. He stayed at the memorial for about a half hour before going back to the hotel where he noticed his gun was gone (NYPD had the gun but didn't yet have a description of the man) and bolted.

Unless southern police departments get their guns from pawnshops this man's story about being PD is sketchy. The gun NYPD recovered was traced to a Georgia pawnshop.

Exactly our thoughts.
