A 24-year-old Juneau, Alaska woman went into a public restroom packing heat and left burned.

The Juneau Police Department reports Veronica Valle-Arnes was carrying a Ruger .380- a small pocket pistol worth about $400 with her one night.

She told police she took the gun out of her waistband and set it on top of a toilet paper dispenser in the women's room at the Fisherman's Wharf, a building on Juneau's downtown waterfront with a bar, eateries and shops.

She told police she forgot to pick it back up. When she realized it was missing a few moments later, she returned to the restroom but the gun was gone. We recommend she try using one of those new-fangled holsters, next time she moseys down to the saloon.
