Last week, a janitor in the Colorado State Capitol building discovered a loaded 9mm Glock handgun in a bathroom.

The gun was abandoned for around 23 minutes before the janitor found it, at a time when the Capitol entrances were closed but members of the public attending committee hearings were still allowed inside the building, according to law enforcement. Nearly an hour after the Colorado State Patrol retrieved the weapon, Republican Representative Don Wilson called to inform them that he had misplaced his firearm.

"I made a mistake and am very sorry," Wilson said in a statement on April 11. "I take firearm safety very seriously. This is a humbling experience and I will reaffirm my commitment to responsible handling procedures."

Wilson has agreed to no longer carry guns in the Capitol, according to House Majority Leader Monica Duran   and the rest of his colleagues may soon have to follow suit. Wilson's mishap is the latest in a series of incidents involving legislators mishandling firearms, and now, Democrats are pushing to get guns out of the building.

So.  Was this the one "gun mishap" that stacked up?   A stack of one.  Or were there others.
