Ellmers has had quite a month.

Oops:

U.S. Rep. Renee Ellmers' husband reported an AR-15 rifle stolen from the family's home in Dunn last week, according to a police report.

The weapon had been left leaning against a gun locker in an unlocked garage on Kingsway Drive, the report said.

The rifle, a gun case and a GPS, with a cumulative value of $1,100, were reported stolen, according to Chief J.D. Pope. Police think the theft happened on the night of Oct. 15.

"According to the report, they had been out target shooting and brought the gun back and leaned it against the gun safe," Pope said. " … The garage door was left unsecured, according to the report."
