    Default OK.... I'm an idiot.

    I've seen other people do this but never thought it would happen to me.

    So...

    I wake up this morning planning to leave my house around 7:30 and head to the range for a little shooting. I planned on bringing a couple of handguns and one rifle. Everything was going quite well. I got around, gathered up all of the gear, loaded everything into the truck and off I went.

    Things started out good. I shot the XD-45 a bit...



    Then put some rounds through the LCR...



    Then went over to the rifle range and unloaded all of the rifle gear from the truck. Well, that's when I realized...

    I hadn't brought any of my magazines with me.

    So, here I was with a rifle, plenty of ammunition, bags for shooting off the bench, a spotting scope, targets, etc. but not one magazine.

    There was only one other shooter out there and he didn't have an AR so I was out of luck for trying to borrow a Magazine or two.

    Loaded my stuff up and headed home.

    At least I got to put some rounds through the handguns so it wasn't a wasted trip.

    DOH!
    That sucks balls man....Can't say I have never done it though. I usually forget the eye's and ears bag but I have forgotten a gun and brought the mags so it happens.

    Wait until you're this close to the range and realize your nfa paperwork is back home, in the range bag, you forgot to take

    I thought you were going to say you left your rifle on the top of the truck, glad it wasn't that story.

    I have many bags that go to the range with me. Unfortunately, the one with all of the loaded magazines was the one I forgot.

    I think maybe I need to put a couple of magazines in the pockets on the rifle case and leave them there.
