House Fire, IHMSA Shooters Loose All!

Post by 19 Turkeys »

Many on this board know long time IHMSA shooters Joyce and Connie Robertson of Junction City, CA. A fire struck their home and the house, out buildings, collector cars, guns, and personal property were destroyed. I am attempting to find out the cause, but Internet searches would indicate it was due to one of the any forest fires rampaging through the West.

Connie was burned and admitted to the hospital but was released yesterday.

More to follow as I find it out.

I talked with a mutual friend, and it was a forest fire.

I can't even begin to imagine that kind of loss. Thoughts and prayers on the way.

I received a phone call from Conie today. He said that not all his handguns were destroyed (good news). He and Joyce are staying in an apartment about 2 miles away from their property. They are not planning to rebuild. Since Governor Moonbeam signed legislation banning lead ammunition for hunting, they have decided to move to Nevada in an area that is close to their daughters. It is good to know they are working to get resettled. Conie did say that once they are relocated he will be looking for reloading dies and molds. If he tells me what he needs, I will post a "wanted to buy" here.
