I know other have experienced this emotion before, but today was a first for me. To set up the situation, I was home like most other days. Surfing the web, listening to 70 Rock and just having a decent day. Power goes off for a short time, but when it comes back on, I've got no TV, no internet and even Alexis isn't talking to me. So what's a guy to do? I figure I'll get a few guns out of the safe and give them a coat of oil.
Well to my amazement, I look in one of the safes and there sitting in front like it just appeared out of no where is a 12 gauge Remington 870. The odd thing is, it's not in the correct safe. It's in my rifle safe. I grab it and go to my computer and open my inventory database.
It's not there. No new shotgun, no new 870, no new serial number. Now I'm anal when it comes to recording my firearm purchases. With that information and the fact that it was in the wrong safe, makes me sure I didn't purchase the shotgun.
So how did it get there? One of my kids? My wife? I don't know, but I'll take it.
There's no need of me asking the wife or kids, because if they did buy it for me, they would never tell me they did it.
I'm a happy husband and dad. This really made my day. BTW, the gun looks brand new, doesn't appear to be fired at all.
