Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : My (24f) ex (28m) bought me a shotgun for my 21st birthday for clay pigeon shooting. I was going to buy it for myself, but he insisted to get it for me as a gift, and I was very grateful for that. So it's registered under his name, but I live in a state where you can gift/privately sell guns without papers. I was in college at the time so I never felt comfortable having it with me, and I only went shooting with him, so we decided it was best to stay in storage at his house. 

After dating five years I broke up with him (he was emotionally abusive but idk if that adds anything to this). He tried to change and work it out for a few months after, but ultimately it ended. I haven't talked to him in a few months, but before we stopped talking I did ask if I could have it back and he said sure, but never got around to it. He has other things of mine that I'm taking the L on, but I do really want this one thing in my possession.

I finally feel confident that the gun would be safe where I live now, and that I can safely use it on my own. And also some friends have expressed interest in clay shooting in the future, and I would like to join with my shotgun.

The problem is - I randomly ran into him last week and he ignored my existence. So (unbeknownst to me) we are not on good terms. I thought we ended things alright (not great, but semi amicably), but I guess I was wrong.

WIBTA for asking for the gift back after all this time? And if he were to say no wibta for pursuing it further or should I just drop it?
