So I walk in from work this afternoon and I’m called to the kitchen where I’m shown the above pictured drawer. “How many times have I told you no guns or ammo in the kitchen!” My instincts kicked in and just like when I was 12 I replied, “I swear I didn’t put that there!” Of course I just got the look, said yes ma’am and collected my empty casing…

Couldn’t be yours… it looks like a 9 mm case. Well, definitely not mine… I have been carrying a .45 since about March…

LOL, at least it was just your wife.
When we got stationed in Hawaii I had to leave 3 months before she could join me so I wasn’t there for pack out. I had gone through the house and “thought” I had gotten all the guns, ammo and associated pieces and parts out.
So the movers are there and one very sheepishly approaches my wife and hands her something (add in Jamaican accent) “Ummm, Missus we can’t ship.” It was a 45 round. By the end of the pack out they had amassed a quart mason jar of loose rounds and fired cases and one gun I forgot I even owned. Caught he!! for that several times.
Cheers,

There are casings virtually all over our place.
I reload so I pick up my own, I find them at my range, in the car, the mule, tractor, so I pocket them to throw in the brass bin. Many times I forget to empty my pants pockets so they end up in the laundry room, or on the counter in the bathroom, in my junk drawer in the kitchen, and yes, sometimes even on the kitchen table.

No doubt, they end up everywhere! Thankfully my wife’s a shooter and we got a good laugh out of it.

You put one of the boxes in the wrong way. You’re fired (pun intended!).

I guess I’m blessed my wife doesn’t care for guns. She will shoot with me but just doesn’t care for them. We live about 6 miles out in the country, and have several guns stashed around the house. Any other odds & ends she stumbles across get put on my dresser. Never has commented on cleaning guns in the house. I guess keeping an eye out for anything new🤣

Nancy wouldn’t even bat an eyelash, she would just ask me it I wanted to keep it. Love my girl.

Well, after range day, the cases do seem to find places to hide in your clothing. I do not reload, but I have had my wife hand me some nice, shiny, clean cases she found in the washing machine or my clothing afterward. The .22 cases are the most insidious, almost Tribble-like in how they seem to find themselves everywhere.

I remember a move out where we’d also let go of a travel trailer, and left it for the realtor to organize the tow away. Only to receive a call from her letting us know the towing agent found a 32 Iver Johnson revolver located in a very tucked away location and asked how we’d like her to forward it back to us. I considered it a serious ‘boot-to-the-head’ event. The S.O. could only shake her head.

I’ve got random casings and cartridges in various parts of the house, and it doesn’t seem to bother my wife. She even took it pretty well when the TSA guys found an empty 9mm casing in her purse once when going through an airport security checkpoint. We’d been to the indoor range a few weeks prior and the best we can figure a stray ended up falling into her purse on the floor.

Sitting on a 450 bushy shell would not be pleasant

I wouldn’t know about those. In Arkansas, we only have Grande sized biscuits.

sold our old trailer, kept thinking I had a hideout in there. While the buyers were hooking it up I was digging around and found my 38 Rossi and a box of ammo. I am sure I would have never got a call from them if they had found it.

The .45 sized ones are for the wee folk.

I once found a 38 police spl. in a Bridgeport after I got it home.
Call me a fool, but I gave it back.
