So today I finally believe that my gun was lost, I hate I’ve carried this gun on my neck for 35 years it’s a little North American arms 22 magnum five shot stainless revolver I drilled a hole in the grips ran a little piece of dog tag train through it take some 550 cord pulled out the strands and replaced it with a dog tag. So I started carrying this gun 35 years ago, As one of my back ups and off duty guns, last weekend I was at my cabin working on the airboat I was wearing a tank top shirt and my gun kept coming out and getting in the way and banging against metal crap so I took it out put it in my pocket and I thought that I had put it in my truck center consul but the more I have reflected over this I thought that possibly while I was out trail riding along the Cimmaron river that it had came out of my pocket and went through the shakeout hole in my Polaris razor. So as I said I finally gave end of the idea that it was gone I’ve had everybody looking for it this morning about 10 AM I get a phone call and I had just literally come to the conclusion that it was gone and I never see it again and again I truly love well that phone call so hi I’m from the SHOOTER SHOP in Bristow Oklahoma and I said did you find my gun and he responded with no but you won a gun, He went on to tell me that the raffle ticket I had bought for the American legion fundraiser admitted me a new Springfield armory hellcat 9 mm micro compact with the highest round Capacity we chatted for a couple more minutes and I told him I’d be up in the next week to get it, probably 10 minutes later the phone rings again and he’s once again from the shooter shop At 207 South Main Bristow Oklahoma, you’ll have to pardon the plug I feel really good about this place, anway he told me he was going to sweeten the deal In the shooter Shaq was going to throw in 100 rounds of 9 mm so I was feeling pretty good about winning that gun and getting free ammo and about an hour later my 16-year-old daughter Kylee Came in and asked me if my truck was locked in winter no she grabbed the keys she went outside she came back in and she had that little impish smile that she’s telegraphs so well, she asked me if the $20 reward for the whoever finds that gun is still in the foot and I told her it was she pulled the gun out of her pocket with the bright orange 550 cord that I couldn’t find in the consul of my truck she got her 20 I got my gun and I would’ve given her quite a bit more reward but the day before she called me and said daddy I love you, that’s always a alarm bell, when I backed into your Cadillac dad I only broke out the headlamp and I when I asked her if it was all the damage goes well the fenders mountain a little bit too so 20 bucks it is very getting ending to this day. I hope you all as well will win again that’s the third one I have one in about 15 years maybe I’m just lucky. Tim
