Although he denies taking them, I know it was him. Come to find out thats why he was not with our parents because he had been stealing from them (thanks for telling me folks).
I sure wish I had that gun back as it was as straight a shooter as any that are produced now and thats with iron sights.
And you DID NOT beat him hard enough to give him a stay in the hospital? I absolutely despise a thief and a liar. Brother or not. :mad5

Then I believe family is NOT exempt from getting nailed if they steal from me.

That time and many since. We get into it everytime we are together. Thats why I havent seen him since moms funeral 2 years ago (another long story there). I cany understand how he has stayed out of jail.
