check your pockets before doing laundry.....

I just got off the phone with a buddy of mine and had to share his story with yall. Last weekend he lost his Keltec P3AT. After not being able to find it for a couple hours he calls the local police to file a report for a missing/stolen firearm. Well the next morning he wakes up and there it is sitting on is kitchen table with a note from his wife saying "next time you do the laundry remember to check your pockets". Apparently she heard it banging around in the dryer.

All plastic will wash either place.

But if you throw some fabric softener in the laundry it will lube your gun real good

Yes sir it will. Just remember, ammo that clean needs to be retired to the nicknack shelf.

I washed a couple of Corbon DPX once by leaving them in a pocket. Shot them at the range and they went bang. Boy were they nice and shiny though

Maybe it's just me, but to misplace a firearm is something one should be very concern about.. No matter how casual the carry is or becomes - one should always know where it is at all times..

If you wash the ammo too, set the dryer on low heat and on the "delicate" cycle. We wouldn't want those babies going off...
