If you have then you know what I've been going through the last couple weeks so I'm going to tell one on myself now....My everyday pocket carry is a J frame smith 642 which works well for me since I have a bum left hand....I can't carry at work so it lives in a lock box in the truck and in my pocket or on the night stand the rest of the time....
Three weeks ago I started to get dressed and realized I had my wallet, keys, knife, phone but no pistol....I figured I had left it in the truck lock box but when I looked in there it was as empty as a bankers heart so I started to panic and tried to retrace my steps from the time I knew I had it to when I didn't....I had gone to Walmart the previous night to look for .223 ammo and I knew I had it then, went to the library and to get gas and not so sure I remember having it then....Got home from work and tore my room apart and no gun, really started to panic now...Searched the truck and yard in case I dropped it and still no gun....
I was heart sick and felt like an idiot because it's not like me to lose a gun....I looked everywhere for 2 days but no luck so I turned in a Police report for a lost/stolen gun....Ten days went by and no call from the Police and still haven't found it so went shopping and traded in my LCP (which I hated from day one) for a brand new no lock 642 just like my missing piece so at least I was back in the CCW business but feeling really bumed that I couldn't remember what happened to the old one....
Yesterday the house phone rang which is rare since we all use cell so I was closest to my wifes home office which I almost never go in and answered the phone and while talking I happend to look on top of her printer and guess what was there, yep my pistol and thats when it dawned on me what happened that night....Her battery back up for the computer was beeping for some reason just as I was empting my pockets for the evening and I went in there to reset the thing because it makes a horrible loud obnoxious sreaking tone and I must of had the pistol in my hand and I just laid it down long enough to turn off the damn racket and forgot it....
Well now I'm the proud owner of twin 642's....The Police were real nice about it and were glad the gun didn't fall into the wrong hands and cancelled the report....I'm feeling relieved that I found the thing but very stupid for misplacing it.....This getting older stuff sucks....
