Anyone else ever "lost" a firearm in their own house, I have.
I've been hunting a Bersa .380 in my house for a couple of days.
It was in a desk drawer at the house, but my ex-girlfriend was moving out that weekend while I doing my IDT and the desk was going with her. So I remembered at the last minute before I left that it was in there, grabbed it and stuck it in my bag (the safe had about 2 tons of crap piled in front of the door and I was in a hurry).
I get back Sunday evening and she's all moved out. Well I get distracted by the fact that she took all my lightbulbs, the remote control batteries, toilet paper roll holders, toilet paper, paper towels and everything in the fridge/pantry. Kinda funny, but it's getting dark and I need some tp, lightbulbs and food. Later that night I'm cleaning out my bag, take my .45 and the Bersa .380 out and put them on the floor by the couch because I'll be sleeping right there because she took her bed of course.
So this week I see that same bag and remember the Bersa had gone on that trip with me but it's not in the bag or the safe. Look around in the usual places, the truck, I'm just flat out drawing a blank. I guess with everything else that had been going on at that time that memory didn't get saved. I look around a bit, finally say to hell with it, it's gotta be in the house somewhere. The next day I look around some more, trying to think back, still no luck.
I'm starting to get worried its been stolen, did I lose it somewhere, etc.
I'm driving yesterday and it just hits me all of a sudden, I recall taking it out of the bag and having it laying on the floor by the sofa. I get up for work that morning, running a little behind on time, gather all my stuff up, grab my .45 that goes everywhere with me and shoved the Bersa under the sofa just to get it out of plain sight. There it was under the sofa when I got home, mystery solved, but it was a bad feeling for a little while.
