What's the Deal With the Boating Accident?

[bobzilla]

It was a horrible event some time ago, it still brings tears to some members eyes. Ingo organizes a memorial event every year in remembrance of our lost guns

Anyone else notice that every year when we have these, we end up losing more on the memorial? Maybe we should stop taking our guns out to the middle of lake michigan without a GPS device to know our exact location.

I actually did lose a significant percentage of my guns in a housefire several years ago. Unfortunately I have a pile of slagged remains to prove it

I have actually taken all of my guns for several different boat rides here on the Wabash. For some unknown reason I have yet to have an accident. I will keep trying though. What am I doing wrong?

 

[jgreiner]

Did someone really lose some guns in a boating accident?

It happens every year during Carp hunting season............

I had all of my guns and ammo with me on a fishing trip on Lake Michigan in October. It was just one day after I aquired my last gun and my last rounds of ammo.

I hooked into a monster sturgeon that was too strong for me. I wrapped the line around my pile of guns and ammo and...well. Yep you guessed it. The fish got away with everything.

I'm not ready to move on and buy another gun yet. I'm still in mourning.

Some of us lost guns in boating accidents before it was popular!

If you look real close to the left right and center you will see some of my lost pieces, I swear............

The wife refuses to allow me near boats now. The last accident was tragic I simply couldn't swim with the safe on my back and decided to live and swam ashore. When I woke I was told it was all gone. I remember only select things from that day but can't recall the body of water.
Should have never named my safe the "titanic". Lesson learned

We still get together once a year and have a "who's safe will sink faster" contest too..

Unfortunately, it's become to difficult to determine the winner.

Me too, all gone.

I can't hardly walk near a mud puddle now the emotional impact was severe.

Sorta like after I saw the movie "Jaws" in 1976.

DAMN you, Reiden lake!

 

[Rhoadmar]

my boating accident was so bad that i not only lost the guns and the boat...but also all evidence that i ever even had a gun or a boat. I think Mr. Obama should give us all guns (like he does with cell phones) because we dont have any.

Obamaguns would be nerf single shot.

Oh crap....I miss read the title of this site....I thought it said GUM owners.....I have no business here...


Pay no attention to the picture in my avatar. The feds are trying to frame me. They put it there.

Are ya getting the picture yet?

Boating isn't safe!!

At least with guns...................................

After that movie came out, I was afraid to get out of my bed for fear of getting eaten by a shark. (totally not kidding LOL)

All fun aside....that sucks.

I lost all but one to the first "X" and have nothing to prove it.

 

[RabbleRouser]

I lost ALL my guns in a tragic boating accident.....

 

[Hammerhead]

I, for one, am no longer going to participate in the INGO Lake Safe Chucking contest anymore. Not only do I keep losing all my firearms, I lose the contest to TF, thanks to all the EPD members that show up and chuck his safe for him.

 

[tmkr]

Sounds like the majority of INGO members are shooters.
Not sailors.

 

[Hammerhead]

Apparently we're neither, if we have no guns thanks to inept aquatic activities.

I lost everything, but I had insurance.
