Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
+100. Mistakes happen. I remember I went camping and when I was packing all my guns up I left my carry piece on the bumper of my Jeep. Had I not heard a very distinct sound of something dropping and stopped, I never would have found it. Stuff happens.Originally Posted by cofi

Bumped into Delfuego earlier today at the Chaffee range, good news, someone turned in his rifle.
Delfuego, congrats on getting on that 1000yd target yesterday, good bumping into you again. Hope to see you at a match in the future.

WOW...can't believe you just kicked this guy in the balls like that. Shit happens, and he at least had the responsibility to post the thread in hopes that someone here would be decent enough to lend him help, not push him down and call him fat. By the way, ever heard of "karma?"

It's honestly a lot nicer than the stuff that was running through my head the first time I read this thread.WOW...can't believe you just kicked this guy in the balls like that
Shit definitely happens but I'd expect a lot worse responses if I posted a similar screw up.
I hear ya, it's just that I know there had to be more to the story than what was originally posted (which is why I think it's better to err on the side of caution before someone starts mud slinging). We are all human, and prone to slip up from time to time, and yes, sometimes a swift kick in the arse is justified. Other times maybe a bit of compassion goes a lot further (considering I think this guy already felt dumber than a box of hammers for leaving a rifle at the range).
My thought is, we are all on this forum because we are like-minded people with similar interests (for the most part). In this case, I just thought kicking him in the teeth right out of the chute was a bit much.
Not that I ever hope to have this happen to me, but if it were to...I suppose I know not to post it here in hopes of seeking help unless I want to get flamed?
My hats off to those that posted positive comments and best wishes for this user who did get his rifle back! AMEN to that!
