Is This A Problem or an Opportunity?

[Tex929rr]

So I had to open the safe to put away a vehicle title (I keep them in a fireproof bag inside the safe) and I found a long gun I have owned for about 10 years and had complete forgotten about. It feels like an opportunity but it does bother me that I completely forgot I owned it. It was tucked in the back with some older long guns I inherited from my wife’s dad.

Yes.

I probably qualify for red flagging in Cornyn world.

What’s the gun?

I've forgotten about a .17 cal Savage I used to shoot a lot, but finally got tired of shooting the bothersome pests as there's a never ending supply of these prolific breeders.

I re-discovered it when looking for something else.

So, yes it happens because you (like me) have CRS!

Yes, but it's a low bar.


Along the lines of "possess one firearm".

It’s a Remington auto loader that was chambered for 17HMR when I bought it. Then Remington decided 17 was not suitable for blowback rifles and recalled them. The price they offered was stupid low, but one option was to have it rebarreled for 22 mag, so that’s what I did. I didn’t find the 22 mag as fun as the 17 so i put it back in the safe and forgot.

Well, you DO live in Welfare, so I would call it an “unexpected boon”’and enjoy it!

There aren’t many auto loaders in 22wmr, so it may be something you could swap for something you do want.

Heck, a 22WMR semi would be great for a house or woods gun. I might even be interested.

Where in the heck is welfare Texas. I can’t even find it on Google.

I once found a Glock 17 under my bed that I had forgotten about. I barely remember buying it and not sure why I stashed it under the bed.

Maybe somebody who had been hiding under your bed left it there?

You posting the question here, instead of cleaning it and going to shoot it is the only potential problem I see. Enjoy it.

 

[Vaquero]

Looks like an opportunity from here.
I'll drive to you and take it off your hands.

You won't miss it.

Win win.

 

[Fishkiller]

Send it to me I will do a fun factor check for you

Nice area . We ate with some friends at a little place near there called PoPo's.
I'd go back.

Waring welfare metroplex?

What is in 3 trailers a coffee shop and a QT?

Almost forgot the 2 cemeteries probably triple the population.

Has the gas station/restaurant re-opened for steak night yet?

No, and even the Don Strange Ranch is up for sale again. Joshua Creek Ranch has been doing a steak night. PoPo is under new ownership now.
