nick m Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 So I bit it. No one else in the store that I worked at would do it. A guy, named Lucky, incidentally, walked into the department store I worked at, up to the gun case and, when no one was looking (or in the vicinity), smashed the case open with a hammer and stole a Beretta 92. Taste aside, he was an idiot: he left the store, got the trigger guard off, and within about an hour, pointed it at a State Trooper during a traffic stop and got (correctly) shot down. The gun was returned to us (the store) after a year. It has minor wear and tear (from being dropped) and I bought it, when no one else would, for $300. Never fired. used... er... once. Too dark? -nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shooterready Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 10-4. Shoot the life out of it..... Ahhh, did I say that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighVelocity Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 If the guy had actually used the gun to hurt someone, that's one thing. In this case, the gun actually helped the state take out the trash, instead of simply arresting the trash. Shoot that thing, don't even give it another thought.

John Dunn Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 The gun is haunted, probably cursed. You just bought yourself a lifetime of grief. I'll buy it off you for $200 and have it exorcised before using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiG Lady Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I personally wouldn't let that gun in my house, let alone my safe. But then, that's just me. I believe in gun purity where possible. But HighVelocity has a point, in that it was instrumental in taking out the trash....... Still, I wouldn't have it. But that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrShooter Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 If you listen to the gun grabbers talk about guns, they see them as magical things. They are evil in and of themselves---in their view. I don't think like that. The gun is now in the right hands, so it is a tool to do good things. Just say no to sympathetic magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38supPat Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I think it's a great story, I'd tell it everytime you take it to the range. Never shot, only dropped once...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyZip Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I think it's a great story, I'd tell it everytime you take it to the range. Never shot, only dropped once...lol +100! What a great story. How often have you heard one like that? Never. Too cool. The funniest part is the guys moniker was Lucky. I'd get that engraved on the side when I won my first match with that gun.

Vagus Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 A lot of my guns have a dark past, or at least parts of them do. A revolver used in a suicide is the only one I have the whole story on, but as a police armorer my Grandpa had to destroy a lot of guns used in crimes or picked up off of criminals. Back then they only had to destroy the frame or serial numbered part, i guess, so many of the guns in my collection are pieced together with parts from crime guns. One of my favorites is a chrome 70 series 1911 with mother of pearl grips, a pimp gun picked up from an actual 70's pimp... had to be rebuilt on an essex arms frame, but the effect is the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
