This came across the Outdoor Wires late this afternoon. For those that don’t remember Kim’s shotgun was stolen last summer.
I was visiting with Kim & her family at SHOT and told them I believed the gun would show up, maybe not now, but sometime as these type of firearms usually don’t end up in a lake somewhere. The Shooting Industry rejoices the return of this historic shotgun.
THE OUTDOOR WIRE DIGITAL NETWORK SPECIAL BULLETIN
The Riverside, California Sheriff's Department has recovered four-time Olympic medalist Kim Rhode's shotgun. Police officials say the gun was recovered during a routine parole check. According to Rhode, the gun is in "immaculate" shape, although the competition stickers she had collected during her shooting career had been removed. "I can't believe it," Rhode told The Outdoor Wire only minutes after the gun was returned. A complete report in tomorrow's edition of The Outdoor Wire.

Great News!!!
Too bad the stickers were lost, but there is a history and personal value that a new gun could never replace.

That is great news, Kim is a standup shooter, glad she got her stuff back.
