I never have lost a child or a wife, but I did lose my mother. Its hard, but breath in and breath out, and just live. Always enjoy reading your posts.

No this wasn't me, but its a good lesson. http://www.wbir.com/story/news/local/east-knoxville/2013/12/16/developing-road-rage-leads-to-shooting-of-motorcyclist/4044821/ And for the ones too lazy to click on the link: An apparent case of road rage led to a shooting Monday afternoon in East Knox County. According to the Knox County Sheriff's Office, a man driving a Saturn SUV cut off two motorcycles as they exited I-640 onto Washington Pike around 4 pm. As the two motorcyclists continued behind the SUV, investigators said the the driver stopped and backed up, knocking one of the motorcycles over. A witness helped the driver get lift his motorcycle. After that, the two motorcyclists and the witness followed the SUV in order to get the license plate number so they could report the incident to 911. The SUV stopped at a home at 2705 Mary Emily Lane. The motorcyclists and witness stopped in the street to get the information, but a man came out of the garage with a gun in both hands. He began firing shots and yelling at the men. One of them was shot multiple times and was taken to UT Medical Center. The others were not injured. The suspect is in custody and is being questioned by investigators.

I shoot a lot of clays, other than when I took my father with me 4-5 years ago, he brought a sxs, I have not seen one since.

What did you expect if the ammo don't work, then the website won't work either. That's a communist country for you! Straight from the Tulskiy Patronniy Zavod plant in Tula, Tula District, Russia!

There are some real help for this problem: >Unhappy wife >4+ kids or >Elect another liberal democrat for president

For the record, I'm tired of losing my solvent. I want to reclaim it, clean! I want to save the environment. The earth is to darn hot! If I did buy one, it would pay for it cash only! Not through ebay, paypal, or heaven forbid use a cc! Too much NSA! And if I did buy one, I would certainly store it with my ANSI fittings that I have left over from the my hotrod days of building chromed out engines! Just in case! Could bury it with the PVC pipe in the back yard.

I was being sarcastic. I'm an odd one. There better be some decent separation in price from a new gun price (OTD) and vs. a used gun price. The seperation in price should be enough to give me peace of mind even if I got screwed. It shouldn't matter if the gun was won in raffle, or if it was owned by a little ole lady who only shot it on Sundays with one 223 factory round! You are probably safe, but I am a very pessimistic person with a touch of Murphy. Remember Walmart sells that gun, check the pricing.

If I were buying a used AR, I would confirm if its 100% genuine OEM, assuming that is what you want and a concern. Many people build ARs, and many are very good with high quality parts, but some could have less than desired internals. There is some peace of mind buying new, with a warranty, and for certain the ownership trail. If you are an expert and can spot less than desirable parts, then you should be okay.

Boston Tea Party occurred! December 16, 1773. Happy 240th year anniversary!

Laugh, laugh, all that you want. My only point, to be a FFL period, brings some level of risk. To have a FFL out of your home address, adds another level of risk regardless how squeaky clean one maybe. Is it really worth it? Ohshoot, have you had a FFL before? If not, maybe that is why you find this laughable. By reading materials on the internet or hanging out at mom/pop gun shops, may not be enough to make one wise, possibly smart, but not wise. I know a lot of college graduates that are book smart, but are lacking wisdom. I am just voicing my personal wisdom from real experience. Trying to save someone real hassle down the road. Otherwise, I could care less. I have no dog in this race.

I found the story on the web site The Truth About Guns website. The story does not say who it was. Me personally, I was a FFL dealer once, and during the time of the Ruby Ridge event. During my whole business practice, I had a small sense of being bugged or watched. I never was "officially" audited, but I sure was most definitely tested. Me personally, I discourage a home based FFL based upon my experience and other war stories through the years. You open yourself up to tremendous risk. A storefront FFL or somewhere other than your home property is good, but not your home.

As a former FFL, this is why I would recommend reading this article for those folks seriously considering a Home FFL, just make a well informed decision: http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2013/02/robert-farago/this-is-how-the-dhs-seizes-your-guns/ And for the people that don't like to click on links: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recently raided one of our readers: a kitchen table FFL dealer who does everything—everything—by the book. He has, however, consistently criticized the ATF for its unconstitutional regulations and long history of extra-legal activities. This is his story. Update to follow, after he consults with his lawyer . . . First of all, forget about them coming to the door. They’ll intercept you on your way home from the Doctor’s office (for example), then one vehicle will come up behind you and two will block your way in front and turn on the flashing lights. They then jump out with ‘real’ assault rifles, point them at you and order your hands up, and exit the vehicle. You, being a law abiding citizen, comply. At gunpoint, they order you to assume the position against your car, handcuffs you and frisk you, and you’re directed to get into the back seat. Then the lead agent gets into the driver seat and drives your car to your driveway. You sit there with cuffed hands behind you – bleeding. As multiple vehicles close off the street and announce over a loudspeaker for all your neighbors to remain indoors (and are prohibited from leaving), the lead agent calls your house and directs your wife to come out of the house – and sit in the front seat. She does. Then the Homeland Security Special Tactical Unit, and the county sheriff Swat Team arrive, and drive two armored cars over the curb onto the lawn, as the “Jack Booted Thugs” with machine guns, helmets, boots, camo, etc. enter and search your house. You see a Homeland Security Helocopter circling overhead. You are asked if you have any explosives (well, several cans of black powder….) and are there any booby traps in the house. They offer to let you read the search warrant, but your hands are cuffed behind your back. The agent in your car reads it very quickly. After the Jack Booted Thugs are through, teams arrive to search and ransack the house. After about an hour, you are released and NO CHARGES are filed. You are required to stay beyond the perimeter as they set up tables in your yard and begin to paw through and process your worldly possessions. You finally realize that they’re going to keep an eye on you, but you go to a neighbor to make phone calls – and find a good lawyer, who arrives on site, but is kept out by the agents. The agents search one of your cars and release it to you. Hours later, knowing there is nothing you can do on site, you leave and arrange a motel for the night. Later, about 9PM (12 hours later), you phone your house and an agent answers, then advises you they’re about to leave. You drive to your house to see four Feds in your front yard, ready to leave. They tell you they don’t know where the house key is (which you gave them), nor where your cat is. They hand you a copy of the search warrant, but fail to provide a copy of the inventory (which they give you two days later). You examine your house. Your computers are gone along with every extra & old hard drive, all data cds, floppies, thumb drives, compact flash drives, and other SD drives for your camera. But most shocking, is that your entire gun collection, which you spent a lifetime building, is gone. Antique guns, airguns, non-guns. Virtually everything. One antique shotgun lies broken on the floor. Papers are strewn everywhere. Once they looked at it, and didn’t want it, they just tossed it aside. Piles of paper. The house is trashed – every room. Your clothing has been ransacked. Your wife’s clothing and underwear. You don’t even know what is missing. You look around, feel sick, lock up the house and go to the motel. You return the next day to try to start to get things back in order, but realize it will take weeks. Later, you find out that the affidavit which justified the search warrant is sealed – and you can’t even find out why they searched and seized. A few days later, the sworn affidavit is unsealed, and you find out that the agent lied repeatedly, told half-truths, speculated about possible violations, and related his ‘suspicions’ with no basis in fact – and that the search warrant is nothing more than a gigantic fishing expedition to see what they could find . . .

Amazing what transpired 1 year ago today, and the wake of the gun/ammo scare the new solve nothing laws that followed. I still feel for the parents though. But what really changed in our culture since then? I believe more polarized if any! It did cause me to buy many guns and related products that I would probably not have bought that quickly.

I saw a guy today selling these at the K gun show, I think $35 each. Cash and carry! Just found these on ebay for $10.00 and $2.75 shipping. How much fluid does it take to soak the filter and for you to get a drop recycled? http://www.ebay.com/itm/261351265698?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

I need to tap the opinions of everyone, and I prefer the ones that actually own one of these: (I would mount this on the side of my night stand). I have to have something similar, I have small kids.

If you remember the episode from Sanford and Son, when Lamont was trying ween Fred off of TV, he placed this picture on top of the TV. This might work too, the next time you want a Glock, just place this picture beside the gun!
