What I can make out of the journey of this weapon, it was: 1) checked out by Dr. Dumais; 2) switched at some point with Dr. Watson's, thus ending up in his possession while his ended up with Dr. Dumais; 3) brought to the infirmary with him when he was injured; 4) removed from his possessions by person or persons unknown while in the infirmary and not returned to the armory (possibly switched out once again with the weapon issued to that person being returned to the armory instead of the one carried by Dr. Watson); 5) possibly passed hands after that; 6) eventually taken out to the pier by either the person who came into possession of the gun among Dr. Watson's effects while he was in the infirmary or someone who was later given it.
It would appear most likely that the person carrying this weapon either works in the infirmary or was a patient there.
My initial assumption was that the gun owner was likely to be military and it would fall to me to determine proper punishment, but now it appears as likely that it may not be. Giving a course on gun safety may or may not be an appropriate choice, depending on the experience level of the person carrying the weapon. Attending one should be required, but given I'd like to see everyone attend one, is hardly punishment.
We'll have to wait and see.

PS: Should we get Beckett into these discussions, since it appears there's an infirmary connection?
