Stupidity
Man finds gun while on the job. Holds it until he can turn it over to police. Gets fired.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

I hope he sues the City of Detroit into oblivion. Only thing more he could have done is turn it over to the supervisor or take it directly to the police while still on shift. In which case I’m sure they would have fired him for leaving work without permission or some BS. I know the City of Detroit is bankrupt but I hope he sues them and makes the more bankrupterer.

While the City is not already bankrupt, it is very close to bankruptcy.
That is a weird quirk of rules forbidding possession of weapons in the workplace. Especially when “workplace” is “outdoors on public property”.
Who possesses the weapon if it is discovered, and left on the ground while 5 people stand around jawing and wait for the cops to show?
What if the cops don’t show?
What if he picks it up to hand to the supervisor? Do they both become guilty of possessing a firearm in the workplace?

There is no low of stoopid that government cannot exceed.
However, he should have just kept mum, and kept the gun.

Sounds like the City took an opportunity to fire a union employee (assumption) on “valid grounds” to avoid paying him his retirment in two years. It’s not often opportunities like that just fall into your lap!

If he had said nothing, and kept the gun, he would be in possession of a stolen firearm. Not good. Any reasonable man, (using the reasonable man rule) would have to consider that it was stolen, since it was found in a non-secure place.
This is a PERFECT example of “damned if you do, damned if you don’t!”

>>> I hope he sues the City of Detroit into oblivion.
Too late. It’s already there. Detroit is something else.
As in: “Say, is Detroit a nice city?”
“No. It’s something else.”

He couldn’t “keep” the gun. Michigan has registration.
