So I started Highschool in 1999. As a young freshmen, I did not have many friends. However over 4 years I closely befriended my schools police resource officer.
He taught me how to shoot, to fish....how to talk to chick's haha was kind of a stand-in dad to me.
When I graduated he presented me with a gift. A 1988 6906 with FCDA stamped on it *he worked for a district attorney before he was a SRO*. He had carried it since new, until 2002 when the pd switched to Glock 17s. He stated it would bring me home safe every day as it had done for him.
Well in 2005 it was stolen. Never saw it again. Until last month.....found it in the case at my LGS!!!. Showed the shop owner a photo of me and Terry the day he gave it to me, and told him the story. He promptly handed it back to me, free of charge and stated it should be returned because on my hip is where it belonged.
17 years later the gun I learned to shoot on, the gun that was given to me by my teen mentor, thr gun i searched high and low for almost 2 decades for....and the gun that I will give to my son one day came home.
