No duh, but even then it should be very, very obvious that you don't have a holster on your waist. The only way a firearm and keys are really comparable in that they're things that are usually carried, but other than that there's a significant weight (both metaphorically and literally) that should be hard for one to forget.
Makes you wonder how seriously they actually take carrying in a school.

I agree that is why this is probably the first incident of this happening that most of us have read about. On the other bit, have you ever seen the key ring for an administrator or person with extensive access at a large institution that isn't using RFID? I'm an upper management desk jockey and my work key chain weighs the same as my P238 and is less comfortable to carry lol.

And yet it's still noticable when you don't have your work keychain, no?

I leave my keys on my desk or someone else's desk and have to go back for them about 6 times a year.

Man, you must not pay much attention if you don't hear a noisy-ass keychain on your waist.

You really just sound like an ass here. How is someone forgetting their keys some "oh your absent minded moron" moment. Thats just a normal human thing that happens.

And you really sound like an idiot if you think that a set of keys, phone, wallet has the same level of importance as a firearm and therefore it's excusable if someone forgets one in a public space.

When did I ever say that? Oh wait. I DIDN'T. I just responded to your post questioning how this other poster could possibly forget his keys like its some bizare concept.

You didn't, but your reply in defense of the idea that one can somehow equate forgetting keys -- a significant key ring, according to them -- to forgetting a firearm on top of the fact that you said that I "sound like an ass" pretty clearly indicates what you think.
No u.

I didn't reply in defense of that, I replied pointing out you sound like an ass for thinking its unreasonable someone could forget their keys because "how do you not hear them"

You kind of did. If you can't hear a lot of keys jangling around that are about equal weight to a P238, and don't notice the lack of the additional weight, you kind of might need to pay more goddamn attention.
Why do you care, anyway? This thread is about people equating keys and whatnot to firearms as if forgetting the former is equivalent to forgetting the latter.
