I had one that got stolen over ten years ago. I'd love to have that pistol back!

Hey, if I'm free when you get together next time, I'd love to join the throng. I'll bring a second shovel so the work would go faster and we could get back to shooting. I'd also like to check out this little carbine.

Oh, I know! He's no more far left than you or I, though I dare say some here think all three of us are! And they think OS is Chairman Mao! -

Just out of curiosity, why do you need a Florida HCP? They recognize Tennessee's HCP. Just making sure I understand. We are going on vacation there next month and I want to make sure that I am following the Law. -
OD Green for me. Interesting concept, but not ready to plop $250 into a High Point.I sorta like my 995TS the way it is.

But that was moose, but I knew what you were talking about. Still funny! Back on topic, I think it's time you bought an AR. The .223 (5.56x45mm) is perfect for pest control!!!

Glad this turned out well, but sorry about the damage to your house! -
Are they up because dealers suspect that another run on firearms sells will happen after the November Elections? The Gun Business Is Bouncing Back From a Long Trump Slump By Polly Mosendz September 6, 2018, 4:58 PM EDT The American gun industry’s two-year “Trump slump” might finally be over. Federal background-check data released Thursday indicated stronger-than-expected retail activity in August, a positive indicator that follows closely behind Smith & Wesson’s impressive earnings last week. American Outdoor Brands Corp, the parent company of Smith & Wesson, jumped by more than 3 percent in afternoon trading on Thursday before closing up one percent; Sturm, Ruger & Co. also closed up more than one percent. The number of checks undertaken by National Instant Background Check System, which is overseen by the FBI, actually declined 5 percent in August compared with the same month last year. But that drop was smaller than analysts predicted and better than July’s 9 percent drop from a year earlier. The fact that falling background checks, which are used as a proxy for sales, could seem like good news is a sign of just how difficult things have been for gun makers since 2016. Retailers stocked up on inventory ahead of the last presidential election, predicting Democrat Hillary Clinton would win and champion stronger gun-control measures and leading shoppers to stock up on firearms. That vision didn’t come to fruition thanks to President Donald Trump and a Republican-controlled Congress, leaving gun dealers with overstocked shelves and little need to order more. Inventory levels have since started to normalize, and Smith & Wesson’s surprising results last week, with revenue up 7.6 percent compared to last year, provided one of the clearest indicators yet that gun buying is finally picking up. The earnings capped a 48 percent rise in American Outdoor’s share price in August. “We believe the market is going to come back, it's going to return to growth, maybe slower growth than we’ve seen before,” American Outdoor Chief Executive Officer P. James Debney said on the earnings call. Background checks for long guns—a category that includes popular AR-15-style weapons—fell by more than 11 percent over the last three months. But American Outdoor shipped nearly 38 percent more long guns during that span than the year prior. Modern sporting rifles like the AR-15 tend to have higher profit margins than handguns. Ruger, which announced earnings in early August and saw its shares rise by 20 percent last month, also outperformed the background checks. Gun makers aren’t completely free from the risk that backlash will affect sales. Earlier this year, Ruger’s shareholders voted that the company must prepare a report on the risks of selling firearms. An investor who recently proposed a similar measure for American Outdoor purchased 200 shares, the minimum required for such an action. American Outdoor CEO P. James Debney said the investor was pushing “an anti-firearms agenda designed to harm our company, disrupt the local sale of our products and destroy stockholder value.” On Thursday, American Outdoor said in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing that it was “extremely disappointed” that Glass Lewis, a proxy advisory firm, recommended the proposal be passed. The proposal, the company added, “will do nothing to make our communities safer.” American Outdoor also noted in the regulatory filing that it made a $1.5 million contribution to the National Rifle Association and National Shooting Sports Foundation, two major lobbying groups that support gun rights. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-09-06/the-gun-business-is-bouncing-back-from-a-long-trump-slump?utm_source=yahoo&utm_medium=bd&utm_campaign=headline&cmpId=yhoo.headline&yptr=yahoo

Phhht on Levis and all the rest of those gurly jeans you all talk about. I buy jeans from a true 2A Supporter, Rural King! They sale guns in their stores and have their own brand of jeans for $9.99! Did I ever mention I was a tightwad on somethings? -
Can't stop parking lot transactions.

That action reminds me of the Winchester 67, the way the receiver is split down the top.

Glad they are trading them to a local shop and not destroying them. Gives us all the chance to purchase one or more of them. Wonder which Pawn Shop it was?

Would love to see a pic of this!

I'm a 9mm carbine and pistol owner. I've actually had two 9mm carbines. If you stay with the Hi-Point brand mags, they are good guns with ball ammo. The rifles are a hoot to shoot!!! I'm very intrigued with the Redball 20 mags for the carbine though. I was Bill's Outpost and noticed they had a carbine on the wall with a Redball Mag and inquired about it. They said they are shipping the carbine with them now, so they must be good! And if the pistol ever fails, I suspect they'd make great boat anchors!

Seems as good a place as any on here and much better than some. LPNs generally are also much better looking than the Doctors whose jobs they do.

Fingers crossed that they are really done right and at a fair price. Basically the only reason I don't own one right now is the fact that they are very pricey. I'd love to see one under 5 Bills. Probably not going to happen though.

I checked their website out and I like the looks of their stuff! But I couldn't find them on Gun Broker. I searched Seller under Robertson, Robertson's, Robertson Trading Post and Robertson's Trading Post. Am I searching right?
-
Do they have a website? I've never heard of them, but I don't venture past Nashville very often. Actually went to Bowling Green last week for a meeting and went via Carthage. Very pleasant drive. But I digress from the topic at hand.

Oh, what the heck. I'm bored, so I will enter the fray. Yes the law says you can do it, if you tell the carrier that you are doing it, but... If the common carrier says they will not ship a handgun (or any firearm), between two unlicensed individuals, then you can't compel them do so (as stated above). You can trick them into it, by not telling them that the shipment contains a firearm. But, has it's been pointed out, you have broken the law. and risk a prison term, separation from family, loss of income and loss of gun rights. So why would any sane person want to do that?
