So many boating accidents

[Krell1]

More and more I see postings by forum members relating to stories of how their guns were sadly lost in a boating accident. Some members just make quick comments relating to such accidents. I want to add my story here as well. Mine were all sadly lost at sea when I was traversing the Atlantic on the Titanic. That was the name I gave my new sailboat and, in hindsight, that might not have been a good name for the boat. Lost everything I had on that boat and have been unable to afford today's high prices to replace them.

With respect to the number of these stories, my next boat may well be a dredge to possibly retrieve some of the these lost treasures. If I do so, I'll nether confirm nor deny that I've found any such items but you may find them on Gun Broker.

It seems guns are being lost at sea at a faster rate than manufacturers can produce them. I wonder if that is what is causing the ammo shortages?

We tried to retrieve mine but we were attacked! I believe it was the Creature from the Black Lagoons cousin! It was just awful and we know now that they are lost for good!

I can't believe all of these boating accidents, I think some people telling them are fibbing. Mine fell out of a plane I was flying so you know I'm telling the truth.

Mine were in the helicopter in which Brian Williams was riding when he was shot down. He survived. Sadly, my guns were lost in the carnage.

Just pretend this is witty.

Lost mine in a tractor accident.......They bounced off the tractor and got plowed under........Since I don't own a metal detector none were found.......AND unfortunately none sprouted and came up.

Lost all mine when the old Jeep fell into a mine shaft. Managed to drag the Jeep back up but all my stuff that was in it kept falling. It's a real deep mine and there's not enough rope in AZ to get me down to them. In fact I wonder if they just kept falling until the Chinese found them. It's possible.

I lost mine in a Sasquatch attack.

How in the world am I going to explain where mine went, after you guys used up all of the good stories???
Maybe the Brown Mountain Lost Slave stole them to pay for a new lantern???

Wonder how many of these boating accidents involved alcohol. As many as there have been I'm surprised there isn't a beer shortage!

Someday in the far distant future treasurehunters diving in our oceans, lakes and rivers will become fabulously wealthy after discovering tons of priceless ancient S&Ws strewn about the depths. They'll probably argue over which are more desirable; the barnacle finish or the oyster finish. Oh, and they will still wonder what CTG means.

I secured passage for mine on the Ark, but Noah threw them overboard to keep his boys from popping the bunnies for dinner.

Hey - I resemble that remark!!!

And still asking about "bear loads".

I traded mine off, for a brick of .22... that sucker didn't even see it coming.....

The dog ate my gun. Almost killed me the first six times he barked. Sure glad he didn't eat my speedloaders.

It's fun to joke about!

However, we all know that if "they" really want to know anything you know, "they" have ways to persuade you to spill the beans.

And if anyone thinks they're tough enough to withstand "enhanced interrogation", well, that's really funny!

My story, is a sad story for 2 generations of gun owners. I was taking the trip of a lifetime with my brother and dad. We were headed up north to visit his brother, who lives on the island and has this awesome gun range. We loaded everything we could onto the small boat that we chartered. It was suppose to be a three hour cruise. Not long after we left, the weather started getting rough, the tiny ship was tossed. The boat started taking on water, and to save ourselves, we had to toss gear to lighten the boat in hopes of weathering the storm and making it to shore. Luckily the storm let us go, and we made it to shore. We were down one person(lord rest his soul) but the rest of us survived. No gear, just us and what was left of the boat. Luckily the professor was able to fashion a cell tower and get us internet service here so I can post to the forums while we wait to be rescued. You do get used to coconuts after a while.
