Has Anyone Ever Lost A Firearm In A Break In ?

[PegLeg45]

Closest I've ever came was having a vehicle broken into 15 or so years ago. The a$$wipe got a Safariland double mag pouch and two Wilson 1911 mags, a hunting knife that my dad gave me, and CD's and other stuff. Fortunately, I had my 1911 and the other mags on me at the time. Since then, I have seldom ever left a gun in my vehicle (unless absolutely necessary, like while at public gatherings where CCW is banned).

Man, I hate a thief....lowest form of human.........don't get me started.

My granddad got hit in the early '80s. he had a hobby ranch where he weekended, and anyone who knew him knew that. They got about half of a very sizeable collection (including a Holand and Holland ) and several others I would love to have. He came home early and found that they had left stuff to retrieve the next day. He got an alarm that week and recovered a few pistols, but most of it was just gone. Insurance is nice, but it only goes so far. My collection is far less impressive, but I will be checking out that NRA supplemental policy.

My grandpa had a home invasion in La Mirada in the late 70's. He had a freaky thing where he slept with his eyes open and he'd fallen asleep while fondling a .357 Blackhawk that my dad had given him. 2 armed guys came in and came upon him and the Blackhawk. That open-eyed old guy looked pretty serious, so they turned tail and ran. He woke up as they ran off - pretty shaken. He could see the small auto in one of their hands as he ran. He figured that his just looked a lot more capable than theirs. I inherited that old Blackhawk and that's the war story that goes along wit getting it out for show.
