Listen, please. IF, and this is a big IF (more likely pawned) the handgun is used in a crime; it is not your fault. You took reasonable steps to secure it, you had a reasonable expectation of security. The gym's staff fell down (if not involved directly), the security at the gym failed and a criminal stole your stuff.TexasCajun wrote: <SNIP> So at this point I really hope that they don't find them. Because the only way to do that would be to trace my gun if it were used in a crime. And that's the part that really bothers me - that my gun will probably be used to hurt an innocent. At this point I hope it just disappears like a fart in the wind.
YOU did NOTHING wrong. I pray that no one is hurt either, I'm grateful that you have begun repairing the "normalcy" of your life but if anything happens it's the criminal, not you. If someone stole your softball equipment would you be fretting like this? How many people are hurt with bats?

THIS IS NOT YOUR FAULT!
