If your post count is higher than your round count, you are a troll.

Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
I have mixed opinions on this. If the person that finds the missing item has integrity, it makes it easier to get your item back to you. My skeptical side says that if the person doesn't have integrity, it gives the scumbag an address to go look for more firearms when they know the homeowner is gone.
I used to think similarly, but while at the range waiting to see if I would ever get my rifle back; Bill the guy who helps run Chaffee had all his bags labeled in marker with his info. I think if you are frequently at competitions and ranges it would likely be a person like you who finds it. Also you could put a business card with your work address or just phone and email info, some thing to contact you by, not necessarily your home address.
Or a CO-AR15 patch or sticker!!!

Glad to hear someone was not only honest enough to turn in your found gun but had enough integrity to refuse your offer of a reward. That's awesome!
I've done some stupid shit...but fortunately I haven't left a rifle at the range. Yet...

Don't wanna get shot by the police?
"Stop Resisting Arrest!"
Could probably just put your name and cell phone number on the bag or in the bag somewhere too. Solves both problems; someone has a way to get a hold of you, and if its an unscrupulous type-they don't know your address.

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!

SQUEEZE--I stand by my original statement. Nonetheless- I am damn glad that he got it back and that it did not get into the wrong hands. You can call me an asshole if you want, but I know that if I did the same thing, I would be kicking myself in the ass (or worse) for being stupid and irresponsible. Wouldn't you? What did we all (maybe not all) call that cop out east who left his fully automatic AR on the trunk of his patrol car and drove down the street with it? Would you yourself call that stupid- or irresponsible- or both? Wonder what his write-up was for, stupidity or irresponsibility? Not trying to belabor the point, but if you're going to call me an asshole, I'm probably going to respond. I know that I triple-check my shooting area now as I leave, as opposed to double-checking before. Beyond that, I'd loan you the shirt off my back if you needed it.
