This update goes to this post about the dude that hid his gun in our yard.

Yesterday while doing yard work, I had to climb up a steep bank with clippers and Round-up to get a pesky blackberry vine that has been the bane of my existence for the last two summers. As I was looking for a hand hold so I didn't slip back down I found the gun! I didn't have a chance to take a picture of it before the police came and took it but it looked like this one. At first I thought it was a toy because the butt was chewed up like a dog had been chewing it, but then I saw the safety and knew it was real, it was really rusty and I carried it back down the hill with two fingers and my arm outstretched like it was stinky.
