Sad day, my firearms into storage…

[rocketdogbert]

I’m having hip surgery on Monday, long overdue, so for peace of mind, my firearms have gone into storage today. It’s going to be a long few weeks

My buddy runs an RFD, which is very handy, so he has them all except my Westlake .357 Revolver, which is with Alan Westlake for a new barrel.

Hope it goes well for you and back to normal ASAP.

Good luck with the surgery and I hope all is . Can I ask why you’re storing your guns though? I too am recovering from surgery, unfortunately unplanned. I broke my spine in a cycling accident 3 weeks ago and it required a spinal fusion which was done the day after. Any way I can’t use my firearms for a few months but I am expecting a full recovery and looking forward to to the game season and hopefully get a buck before the end of the season.. if not I will be trying for a doe in November.

Hope your surgery goes well ! I was home in two days and back out shooting within a few weeks.

Jeez, get well soon my friend.

For me, it’s out of an abundance of caution. Elective surgery, whilst very safe, is not completely risk free and I feel better knowing my partner won’t have to sort anything firearms related out should things not go to plan. Even just spending longer in hospital than a couple of days she won’t have to worry about a gun room full of firearms.

Think positive matey and I hope everything goes to plan
I spent 10 days in BRI in west Yorkshire back end of last year and they looked after me quite well only because I made sure they did apart form two days when I did know if I was on this earth or fulers
I think they were glad to get rid of me in the end lol

All the best for a speedy recovery! I'm sure you'll have them back home in no time

I'm sure you'll be fine.I had 2 surgeries last year & a 9 month layoff from work.
Soon as I could sit in a jeep as a passenger I was out with.my moonboot on.
Don't let it hold you back,our sport & the countryside promotes healing & well being.

 

[skypie]

I totally understand

Good luck to you. Good call on your guns....peace of mind.

Hope op and recovery goes well. Bit of an over reaction to put your firearms into storage you’ll be home in a couple of days, possibly same day, and walking - they have you up and walking only hours after the surgery, bastards won’t even let you rest a day!

Not at all. Hospital is nearly 200 miles from home, and as I said above, peace of mind for me and the misses.

Best of luck for a quick recovery.
