Guns found in ditch - Ripley County

[ChalupaCabras]

Most people never record their serial #s, so what exactly would they report stolen? A general description of the gun?

A ditch?
Did they find Yeager in there too?

Now hold on there!......Yeager might be a lot of things but he ain't no GD feith!

The owner thought Hi Points were awesome guns till they shot them and threw them out on the way home.

While claiming any number of free weapons sounds great...might want to see if they end up being related to some horrendous crime before claiming ownership. I believe a lot of weapons are thrown away after the previous possessor (not necessarily 'owner') did something irretrievable with them.

I have every receipt for a weapon that I have purchased...I recently went and looked at them and since some were done on thermal or ink duplicate...they now say absolutely nothing.

I do have a list though as I had to move 'several' times while in the military and it's now a habit.

Hey, if you don't want your hi-points I'll be happy to take them.

Seriously? Wow! You must be a really good friend to take a Hi-Point.

If you are going to find guns in a ditch in any county in Indiana, Ripley is a strong bet. Morgan is second.

Why Ripley?

Why Ripley?

Yeah, why Ripley? Franklin maybe.......

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Why Ripley?

Got to have the most guns per capita in the state, gun everywhere, springing up out of the ground. Maybe Morgan is close (in my youth I saw guns being sold in parking lot of a church).

Guns everywhere in Franklin County(I grew up there).

I had a guy flag me down one time. I stopped and we exchanged pleasantries. He then asked if I had by chance found a 10 gauge shotgun in the road the way I had came. Apparently, he had been turkey hunting, finished up for the morning and when he unloaded his shotgun, he laid it on the top of his truck bed and forgot about it and drove off. Oops!

I will take some too if you don't want them all. I understand the wanting a nicer gun and but it isn't like they don't work or have a high failure rate. Used to own a C9; I can;t tell you how many times non-Glock owners would ask to see my Glock at the range.

I bought a shotgun in the parking lot of a church, after a funeral, but that was in Greene county.

Old friend of mine was moving from Logansport to Greenwood and put three handguns in boxes on top of his car, forgot, drove off and some kids ridding their bikes found them alongside the road and he got a call, and then a good "A" chewing from the local Sheriffs Dept.

I have a phone app for this that also allows me to email myself a backup copy. I have started going through my gun safe to get ready for the wonderful weather we have awaiting us this spring. As I pull to clean and service each weapon, I have been verifying I have the serial number correct. There are several free apps that will do this.

No - not that.

Yeager's a ditch diver.
It's from his Iraqi Triathlon - Clutch, Run, Jump.
