I'm betting this is the first time this has ever been said....

I got powdered sugar in my gun.

Ok, as my name suggests, I make cakes. I own a small shop and had to go back this evening after my hubby got home from work. I usually carry IWB, shirt untucked, but since I was at the shop alone, in the evening, without any business neighbors open, I decided to tuck my shirt behind my 9mm, and managed to get powdered sugar all over it.

Now, time to clean it.

What's your most unusual reason for having to clean your gun?

 

[bigcraig]

Nope.

Ask any cop, they get all kinds of doughnut residue on their guns!

My trusty G17 got smooshed with a smore at a cookout once, it is a Glock, I wiped it off and called it good.

I'll tell you, in exchange for a cupcake!!!

Cleaning birdpoop off my shotgun was fun. We were camping in a remote location and spent the morning shooting clays. Left the guns on the table for a few hours, came back and there was a huge white bird turd on the stock.

Fun times...

I'm quite sure many a copy in New Orleans got powdered sugar all over his or her gun after eating beignets. I can't say I've had anything other than "normal" reasons to clean my guns, though.

Blood from my hand after the slide bit me (little gun, big hand). That's a mistake you only make once... Hopefully.

At IMPD I saw a M66 with mustard and ketchup in it (motorcycle cop). Locked up solid.

Lots of strange stuff. Ask any copper, cigarette butts in barrels, ATM receipts, lots of strange stuff out there.

Baby barf, when my youngest was a baby she yakked all over me while sitting on my lap. I didn't notice until that evening that some went inside my holster and got on my 38 revolver.

Well, once per model. I've given blood to the the Beretta Panther (Model 418, .25 ACP), Desert Eagle .50AE and the Ruger Standard Model. (More of a testament to Gramps' theory of "a .22 is self-cleaning". 30 years of build-up ending in a OOB detonation, flying brass tattoo on the back of my hand, sort of thing.)

As long as it's a Glock, not a problem.

A few years back I was performing work at a customers house. He was a cop, she a school teacher.
Mid-morning I received a call from my friendly neighborhood gun shop. My new Judge was in. Lunch time rolled around so I dropped by the LGS and picked up my latest acquisition.
We returned to the job-site where I found both husband and wife in the kitchen.

I walked in the door with an open gun case in my hands and said, "Hey T**, take a look at my new toy."
He obliged. He picked up my new Judge and turned it every which way but loose. He turned it over 2 or 3 times, opened the cylinder, cocked the hammer, tried the trigger, the whole 9 yards.

When he went to hand it back to me, I held out the open case. Once again, he obliged, and simply laid the pistol back into the case.

I turned, closed the case, and said to his wife, "See L****, that's what you want to do when you get a new gun. Get a cop's fingerprints ALL over it!"

That poor man's face went completely white for about 30 seconds. His wife burst out in laughter so hard I thought she was going to hurt herself.
My brother (partner) was laughing so hard he had tears in his eyes.

I just stood there

I cleaned it the same day, even though it was still unfired, but HE didn't know that.

You know, you Glock fanbois always say this, but I spent two days recently taking some handgun training, and the only gun that continually had FTF/FTE problems was a Glock.

 

[shibumiseeker]

I seem to regularly get mud in my edc.

 

[chezuki]

I've heard many stories of people dropping them in toilets. Can't imagine all those toilets were flushed first.

One more reason to have a good holster

 

[CathyInBlue]

You need a reason to clean your guns?

 

[red_zr24x4]

More important.... where is this bakery?

[ratfortman]

Maple glazed doughnut with bacon. Mmmmm

 

[jerryv]

I was in the front yard one day, and the wife started screaming "come here!". So I started towards her upholstering the S&W 386 on the way. I arrived in the side yard to find her holding two dogs back from a mole hill. Imagine my unhappiness with her reaction to two dogs trying to dig a mole out of the hill. She got the dogs back and there was the butt end of the mole trying to make a brake for it. Now the funny part. Never, and I mean never point blank the butt end of a mole in hole the dogs dug. Blood,guts and mud covered me and the gun. Not only did I have to clean the gun, but I had to clean myself and my clothes. It was really funny. But it would have been funnier if it would have happened to someone else. The end result was no mole left to recover, and a bigger hole in the ground. It is amazing what a .357 hollow point will do to a mole.
