This just in:

BULLHEAD CITY, Ariz. (AP) — An Arizona man who bought a used golf bag discovered his purchase was packing more than just a set of clubs.

Mel Grewing told the Mohave Valley Daily News in Bullhead City (Shooting Birdies: Couple finds pistol in secondhand set of clubs - Mohave Daily News: News) on Friday that he found a loaded .22-caliber pistol inside his new bag.

Grewing says he spotted the set in a Sedona thrift store Tuesday and did not go through the bag until the next day.

He took the weapon to Bullhead City police, who say it was not registered or reported lost or stolen.


Here it comes, folks: Mandatory Homeland Security checks at the bag drop-off area.

OMG! I hope the PGA doesn't find out about this! It probably violates the rule limiting the number of "irons" that you can have in your bag!

Do they register guns in Arizona? I thought it was a free state.

I have heard the rough in many AZ courses can be a bit dicey. Now we know.
