Lost key!!!

Let's put it this way. My thread would have been titled "Lost key, so I cut the lock off".

Yup, keys to the city! Your shooting range has no bolt cutters? I am sure your not the first one to do this.

Chuck
 
got a dremel and some cutting discs? It will make short order of that lock if you don't have bolt cutters.
 
Piling on...
A 2 freakin' hour drive??? One Way ! ! ! OMG

Not for nuttin' but combination locks are the way to go if you are using a lock at all.

Didn't think to go to the local big box hardware store and buy a cheap pair of bolt cutters??? You could even return them after use and get your money back...

Forgot your key???

I was on a bike racing team for years and every now and then some dope...er um meant team mate donchano...would forget his shoes...once only one shoe...really??? I just shook my head...
Also made me make sure I was properly prepared for anything I participated in especially a long distance event.

Betcha won't forget the key...or better yet no key...again hehehe...
 
I have seen this several times at my local range in the past year. That's why we keep bolt cutters on hand. :D

At home, my firearms are in the vault, except for my carry piece. No need for on-gun locks.
 
Alright everyone. I cut the lock off this morning. Just made it back from the range. It was a awesome day of shooting. No need to drag this discussion on any longer. It was just my first experience forgetting keys.

Most locks come with two keys. If you are going to put a lock on a firearm, you should have one of the keys on your key ring at all times.

Sorry you had the problem in the first place.
 
Shoot it off. :)

He can't his gun is locked :D I'd have cut the thing off immediately but then again I never use them either...I usually toss the locks that come with rifles....I kept them for awhile but then realized I was just wasting space in my safe with them so I threw them all out.
 
Maybe it's because I grew up on a farm and learned to make things work no matter what the situation. But I would have had that off in 5 minutes no matter what I had at hand. A tire iron make a usable chisel, who doesn't have a pliars, etc.
