I have to come clean. I told a white lie when I said I sold the gun. I did not. I was embarrassed to tell the whole story. The gun was taken from my house by someone who knew my son. When I found out and confronted him he told me where he pawned the gun for a $150 loan. I got there too late and the pawn shop owner now owned the gun per the loan contract. I protested and he told me that he was not going honor my request for the gun. He said that unless I went to the police and had the perpetrator arrested, I was out of luck. I decided not to press charges. I probably should have.
The gun was only a shooter but it was important to me. I really did like that gun and used it a lot at trap and on woodducks. Maybe someday I'll get it back.
