Anyone else finding guns left behind by renters?

Yes, the rental company I used to work for has had a gun in the safe at their Destin location for years. A renter left it and has never returned to claim it. He asked to have it mailed to him, but that didn't work our since it's illegal.

No guns, but have found rather other interesting things left behind. 😀

The guns aren't that bad, but it's a pain in the ass getting rid of the grenade launchers and IED's. :floor::floor::floor:

WOW! I thought I had heard it all but this is a new one. As a parent of young ones this makes me sick. 😱

Yeah, what kind of idiot brings a gun on vacation then forgets he brought it when he packs to leave?:bang: Ugh.

Y'all should see some of the other stuff I've been privy to......hardly appropriate for my eyes, much less small children! :blink:

But is any of it a danger, like a gun?

Years ago, I started checking the vacation house when we walked in, before the kids were all over it, since one year I found multiple half full bottles of booze in the teen bunk room. I think I would have passed out if I had found a gun.

Bad enough, jdarg! Bad enough. :blink: A different kind of danger for small children.

We've found some bizarre items before. Bailey, found a rib bone under one of our beds once. But never a gun! I agree, why would some one pack heat on vacay? :shock:

YouTube - Seinfeld- The Blood - Food, Sex and TV

Wow - that is so sad and disturbing on so many levels.

Gun + kids is the worst combination possible - even gun + alcohol pales in comparison.

Gotta love all those gun owners who are so responsible they can't remember to pack their deadly weapons - doesn't bode well for how carefully they secure their weapons at home/other times. :angry:

I didn't realize how common a gun left behind is until now. We had the same thing happen about 15 years ago when a guest left a gun on the closet shelf under the extra blankets. The next guest found it and had a cow.....and I don't blame them. Like SWGB, we left it in the safe for the guest to come back and pick it up, he did the following year!

Guns don't kill people, guns that kids find under their rental unit beds kill people!

I guess we don't really need to be as concerned about dirty comforters any longer. I'm certain that if, and that's a BIG IF, I traveled to a vacation destination with a gun, I would remember to pack it back up.

There is of course, the possibility that some of those guns weren't mistakenly left behind? :yikes:

That's actually a very good possibility...😱

Obviously, my spouse generally always has a gun somewhere in his general vicinity - but I can't imagine him leaving it behind.

The other possibility is the proverbial drunk or addict.

I have a friend who had to rent a costume to go to a party with me, but we had gone to an afternoon wine tasting prior to his fitting. I went home and friend showed up later in his hysterical costume. He asked me to return it on Monday to the place right around the corner. I went there and the costume didn't belong to them. :idontno: They said it belonged to the place down the street, etc.

So, I call friend who reiterates he made the rental at the first place. Nothing I said could trigger his memory. I felt really badly for him at this point. But, I returned it to the real store and never mentioned the incident again.

That kind of forgetful drunkenness just isn't comical.......and, if that kind of person is leaving guns behind, that's just a really bad equation!

Probably safer to take it on vacay than leave it home with teenage children they didn't bring!

Guns don't kill people, guns that kids find under their rental unit beds kill people!

Guns kill people as much as spoons make Rosie O'Donnell fat :funn:

Classy. Animal rib bone I hope??
