So growing up, I always had access to my dad's guns for plinking or hunting or whatever. One of my favorites was a Ruger Single Six, new model .22/.22WMR.
Many afternoons as a kid were spent putting holes in cans and practicing my quick draw with that gun. Well a few years later, as a teenager, I proved that that trust was undeserved by doing something stupid and getting that gun confiscated by the Spokane Police dept (nothing that would jeapordize my gun rights or anything like that).
Anyway I made things right with my dad and replaced it with a nice little S&W, made things right with the law, and moved on (I would rather face the law any day).
Saturday, I received a letter from the Spokane PD, evidence room and got the go ahead to retrieve the pistol, which I just got done doing.........18 YEARS LATER.
Just dropped it off to the old man and you should have seen his eyes. He said he bought it when he was 21, about 45 years ago Anyway, i should have got a picture but thought I'd share.
