Lost gun while moving

[Loui3]

Hello all,

I can't believe this happen to me. I was in the process of moving to a different state and notice I was missing one of my handguns. I misplaced it and I'm 80% checking all the boxes I still can't find it.

I know while we were packing a lot of things went to the dump and we gave family members our big items. If I can't find it in the remaining boxes since I'm in a different state now what is the process of reporting missing?

Do I need to call the city I lived in before I moved to report it missing? Any advice would be good or helpful.

I'm so upset right now and worried at the same time.

Thanks once again.

Yeah I thought I lost a rifle once. Could not figure out how as I had not taken it anywhere. Found it after a few weeks in a rifle sock under a pile of laundry. Hope it turns up. Probably best to report it, you can always notify them it has been found.

You're now on record for the loss and the time clock is ticking. Also, you might want to 100% check all of the boxes....

Not on the clock until he has checked everywhere. Right now I'd call it misplaced. If it's not in one of the remaining boxes then It would be lost and reportable.

Sorry to hear this but, I can't for the life of me understand how a responsible gun owner can allow this to happen!

[BillSmith]

Truly sorry to hear. Assume this means you don' t own a boat?

[stormvet]

Come on now, spill it what gun are you missing.

[Sanderhawk]

First time I heard something besides I lost it in a boating accident

As5hat reply. Guess you live in a very small world with the number of guns you own can be counted on one hand...

I had this happen last year.
Recheck places. It turned out that two pistols were put in one case.

It will turn up...

See if you left it behind.

Hopefully not at a crime scene.
