December 30th of 2012 I learned too always have two things. A gun safe and insurance. I had neither so when I got home that night and seen the Fire Department at my house my heart stopped. I got as close as I could and seen my room was on fire. After everything was safe for me to enter the house I found my BCM RECCE-16 in a state of ruin. Luckily nobody was hurt in the fire. I did lose a few animals which also sucked big time. The rest of the house was just smoked up which can be cleaned up and fixed.
Fast forward too today. I got in my room to clean and gut the room and I found my Springfield Armory Loaded Operator 1911. It was in the same condition my RECCE-16 was in. The Recce-16 hurt cause the amount of money and pride I had in that rifle. Losing the 1911 really hurt cause if felt like I had lost an old friend that can never be replaced. That exact model 1911 is impossible to find from what I have seen since the loaded operators don't come with the full length light rail anymore.
What I am getting at with this thread is don't make the same mistakes I did. I sure as hell won't make them again. Also stuff like this hits you at the worse times because replacing my RECCE-16 is basically impossible at the present time.
What wouldn't of happened if I had a gun safe.
