A post on Baltimore Police’s social media has gone viral after they arrested a man with a unique-looking handgun during a traffic stop.  The responses from the public were good but the fact that Baltimore PD responded to many of them made it even better.

baltimore1On March 1, 2017, police recovered a loaded handgun and drugs from inside the vehicle. Investigators arrested 36-year-old Keith Gladden and took him to Central Booking and Intake Facility.

Gladden is a repeat offender and is prohibited from possessing a firearm.  After Baltimore PD posted the photo they issued a comment (above) that immediately had the audience claiming it was “the best comment of the day.”

The gun looks particularly old-fashioned, but also has duct tape on the grip. Comments continue to flood in on Facebook, as well as on twitter.
