DayZ ate my pistol?

[thelonelyone 103]

So I was checking my map for a way to go, I wanted to leave the coast line and finally go up north, I am full of supplies, full of everything, the only gun that I had however, was a pistol with 2 mags, I was pretty happy that I could leave the coast and be safe...

 

But when I closed the map and started walking, I noticed that suddendly, the pistol icon on my lower inventory turned white, and when I went to check my Chest Holster, my pistol was gone!

 

Is that a bug and DayZ really ate my pistol or did I for some supernatural reason threw my pistol away?

Im seeing that all kinds of problems arise when people check out their map. Pistols dissapear, people come back from looking at their map and now there on the verge of death from hunger. Ive decided to never look at my map.
