In my collection, useless means, they are really outdated, serve no real purpose other than a footprint in the safe, and no longer fun. However, if my old Fulton double barrel was all that I had for hunting, homedefence, etc, obviously the dust would be blown off, moth balls removed, and it would be re-activated for use and would no longer be a useless gun. But when I have ARs, Remington 700s, Winchester 1300s, Browning O/Us, Other Semi Autos, Sigs, Glocks, etc. in arms reach, the old fulton is kinda of useless, and is more of Antiqutie deserving for a red neck museum or something with a story line, "...this was my dad's father's first squirrel gun, and placed a many of meat on the table...".

I actually have several unopened boxes left over from my gun business days. I think winchester still makes the same exact ammo today, just rebadged and the bullets are colored differently, was black now gold or grey or something. I still have some Beretta o& glock magazines fully loaded with the stuff.

I think for new guns, retired/active military and LEO qualify, but for used police trade-ins, I think general public can buy, not 100% sure. Enjoy. Glad I could help.

Simply put, businesses/individuals are for profit, and likely will price based upon the local market. Couple of examples, in the East Tennessee area, I normally buy gas from Weigles, but the pricing can be some $0.40 difference per gallon from my area (S. of Maryville) to areas in Knoxville. Do you suppose Weigles pays wholesale differently based upon the location of their stores, of course not, just geographic market pricing reasons. Another example, used Glock 22 is another story. Why would any anyway pay $400 for a good used glock 22 (which kinda of sounds good), when you can buy one all day long at this place for $289 with 3 mags http://www.gtdist.com/emails/Email-TIGLOCKSNOV2011.html, scroll down on the page, lower right corner. Of course you have to do the FFL transfer thingy, but research, research, and do your homework. Bust the local markets, or cause the principals of competition to reduce pricing, or just buy from these internet places.

I believe there is a small gun show at the National Guard Armory W. Alexander Parkway. Anyone going and does anyone have any printable coupons?

Those useless guns are so far back in my safe, I am too lazy to move the 10 or 20 guns in front of them to take a picture to show here, but I know what you mean (heirlooms, love them, but can not use them or get rid of them). I think I have a couple of double barrels, a couple of old 22 rifles, and a few single shot shotguns. Oh, I have a pistol or two, good plinkers, but old and that is it.

I study both used and new gun prices continuously just to burn the prices into my head for a just in case sceniro if I was to run across one in the market place. I do believe prices for used ones are market based upon ones local market and ignorance of the seller or buyer. Case in point, just use Armslist, and go to "ALL STATES", type in a common gun, like a glock or more specific glock 17, you will see a large array of prices from $300 in some regions to $600+ in others. New guns appear to be the same reasonable price accross the country, this can be confirmed by using Gunbroker (after weeding out the gun shops that are just plain high).

Maybe the FFL is on the hot seat, and has been flagged. I would think it would be very unusual for 5 mistakes or 5 too close to call approvals on the same business day, either on purpose flag in the system or a technical issue. unless the FFL was trying to smooth over the waters to make the denied buyer feel better.

Glad this is not common in Tennessee. My wife would win a windfall for sure if she sued me, and the jury would award her both actual damages and punitive damages. Gosh, I would have to file bankruptcy and probably learn spanish, because I would have live in Mexico, maybe a mobile home on the beach south of the border like that episode I saw on NCIS where Mike Franks lived with a seniorita in retirement.

First, this is not a dig, I honestly do not know anything about Kahr pistols other than the attactrive model who poses with the Kahr guns in gun related magazines (she is actually the wife of the owner). I have seen many posts both here on TGO and other forums about these intriguing guns, and with always positive reviews. So moments ago, thought about reading deeper on Kahr and its history. Just googled Kahr and this is what Wikipedia says, I did not know this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kahr_Arms Excerpt: Kahr Arms is an American small arms manufacturer founded by Kook Jin "Justin" Moon (son of Unification Church founder Sun Myung Moon), who currently serves as CEO and President. It is owned by the Saeilo Corporation (pronounced say-low), a subsidiary of Tongil Group, a South Korean business group (chaebol) associated with the Unification Church. (“Tongil†is Korean for “unification,†the name of the Unification Church in Korean is “Tongilgyo.â€)[1][2] Tongil's other business lines include: Ginseng and related products, building materials, machine parts including munitions for the South Korean military, pharmaceuticals, tourism, and publishing.[3] Kahr Arms specializes in compact and mid-size semi-automatic pistols chambered for popular cartridges, including .380ACP, 9 mm Luger Parabellum, .40 S&W and .45 ACP. Kahr pistols feature polymer or stainless steel frames, single-stack magazines, and double-action-only striker firing actions. Company headquarters is in Blauvelt, New York and the Kahr manufacturing facility is located in Worcester, Massachusetts. History From the age of 14, Justin Moon enjoyed shooting guns.[4] At age 18, Moon got a license to carry a handgun, co-signed by one of his older brothers,[2] but he wasn't satisfied with the small calibers available in compact handguns. "I had been licensed to carry in New York State since I was 18 and had looked for an ultra-compact 9mm pistol," Justin later told American Handgunner. "To my chagrin, I could not find a pistol with the quality of construction and features in design which I felt were appropriate for a carry gun. Therefore, I decided to design an ultra-compact 9-mm. pistol that I could carry."[5] By his junior year of college, he decided to design one himself.[6] In 1999, Kahr Arms bought Auto-Ordnance Company, not associated with the original AOC, maker of Thompson submachine guns, then owned and operated by Numrich Arms who had bought the crated assets of Auto-Ordnance started by General John T. Thompson and his investors. Now Kahr manufactures Auto-Ordnance's line of semi-automatic weapons, including a long-barreled rifle version of the famous "Tommy Gun." Kahr offers its line of compact pistols at a time of significant liberalization of concealed weapons laws in many U.S. states. Since the 1990s, many states have passed "shall-issue" laws, as promoted by the American National Rifle Association and other gun rights organizations. Such laws mandate that state authorities must issue permits to carry concealed weapons to all law-abiding applicants who met certain conditions set forth by state law, including passing a comprehensive background check. In 1994 the U.S. government banned manufacture and importation of pistol magazines with more than a 10-round capacity. These were the so-called "high-capacity" magazines, which again became legal to manufacture and import in most states in September 2004, after the relevant federal law expired. This change in federal law rendered many staggered-magazine pistol models (commonly with magazine capacities of 15 or more rounds) less popular in the American market. They were now overly large in light of their newly mandated 10-shot limit.[7] Kahr was at the forefront, offering relatively small, well-made pistols with magazine capacities of up to eight rounds of 9mm or .40-caliber ammunition. These single-stack magazines allow for slender, compact pistols that have proven popular with the buying public. Since late 2003 or very early in 2004, Kahr has changed from offering a Limited Lifetime Warranty on their pistols to one of only five years' duration.[8][9] In 2003 the New York Daily News reported that the Kahr K9 was popular as a back-up weapon with New York City police officers, who called it the "Moonie gun".[10] In June 2010, Kahr bought Magnum Research, which markets the Desert Eagle.[11]

I think the punishment of horse theiving from 150 years ago would solve these thefts once and for all. I can't stand a low down thief!

Was just at my local Walmart, noticed the Sig M400 was finally gone, in fact it's footprint was no longer there. I asked the clerk if they had stopped carring it since the footprint was gone, he said no. In fact they had several in the back, the enhanced ones, but had been informed by the head office not to set out. He said Walmart was going to do something special like a sale or a special flier. I asked him when, he didn't know. He said his dept. mgr was nervous that someone might place those rifles out too soon. Anyone heard this, or can any walley associate on tgo confirm this. I am seriously considering this rifle.

Why not divuldge? Think of the resources required to R&D and protect against this weapon. Rather for them to spend resources defending, than spending resources to offend! Let China, Russia, North Korea, Iran, etc. know about this, heck parade the darn thing in Time Square. BTW this probably has 12th power energy.

Scared myself........Now I use what I have.

I have one of those 8D old fashioned police version flashlights on a professional mount on the side of my night stand. I too thought about this same sceniaro close to 6 months ago. -
When I was a kid, I was known to clean out ponds of cat from old farms. I agree stop feeding the fish for at least a week to 2 weeks, and try the liver thingy, and just fish on the bottom for a few hours. That was my game some 35 to 40 years ago.

When I had a similiar incident, I never called State Farm, I used the tow service of my choosing, not the one that had the low bid to earn AAA approval, and then turned my expenses in to State Farm, and received a check for the full amount on the spot at the local office. However, use your judgment, gave my opinion as requested.

I think he is sketching, maybe something like this: http://

If you have American Express card, you may have a free similiar benefit. Not sure on this either. I recall something like road side service with American Express as a added benefit.
-
Isn't this called strong arm robery?
-
I am not 100% sure, however I have never owned AAA policy. I know the state farm roadside service has a 1-800 number, all my road side costs are 100% reimbursed, etc. For $4 per year, vs. $50 per year, that is no brainer if the it is the same service/coverage. My only comment is that you may alreay have this coverage and not even know it. If you do, then you do not need to double dip or have double coverage for the same thing.
-
Make sure you are not double dipping. For an example I pay $2 every six months for road side harzard with State Farm. I had to use it about a year ago, paid 100% of the costs. I believe this is the same thing, not sure though.

Well Said!!!

I really like the lady's setup that had strobe light hats, dang I wished I had bought one for the Mrs. http://

For people voting for the person, and not the party, does not understand politics (on a national level). The figure head is just that, the figure head, spokesperson, etc, sometimes we call them a president. The real "power" is with the house and senate, and the majority ruling party. That is whay I vote republican in presidential election. Do you really think that president of the US can do anything without a bill being passed both houses? Yea, there are executive orders to fear, but congress and the federal court system can addross those. The president can influence other members of congress to sway votes, its just political ploy and leverage that is all. No real power.
-
This!!! I have always voted republican. I only struggle with the primaries, never the general. I dont care if Diane Feinstein switched parties, and was the R nominee, I would vote R. However in the primary I wouldn't have voted for her.
