Oh Shoot

Yes, that is the existing rule as far as WHO must issue 1099-misc, but not for WHAT they must issue it. As I understand it, businesses have only been required to be issued to certain other business entities (whether company or sole proprietorship) that the biz paid money to for rents, services, parts and materials, and other specialized areas. Now, biz will be required to report via 1099 its PURCHASES of COMPLETE PRODUCTS, whether a computer, a car, a desk, or gun, if the value is $600 or more. And, the main addition that non-business entity INDIVIDUALS are now included in the list of who must receive a 1099 from the buyer. Hence the added paperwork nightmare for businesses both large and small, AND the inclusion of non business entity individuals in the issuance of the 1099s, including as specifically discussed in this thread, individuals selling guns to dealers. I can think right off of one more type of business that this will affect as directly as gun dealers, and that's antique buyer/resellers, who certainly pick up much of their stock from individuals selling off their family stuff. - OS

Question remains: were you charged with illegal possession ("going armed") ? I didn't think that your property could be confiscated if you're not charged with a crime related to said property? But yes, of course, a lawyer will be necessary to answer a charge if there is one, or to recover gun whether there is a charge or not. - OS

In another thread, in reference to being shot in the gut, COM was mentioned... I always took it to mean chest area, with dead center being sternum, right between the pecs. TNRoboCop disagreed, "Center of mass for the human body is from the bottom of the neck where it meets the chest to the beltline." so as I searched around some, I was surprised I couldn't really find a "definition" of what COM is, even looking at well known firearm trainers' works, FBI, etc. No big deal, but curious, what do you consider COM? Especially interested in instructors' input, and/or those who have had more advanced training. - OS

Look, the average non-business owning person who sells something won't even know HOW to file a 1099, even if he wanted to. This is only going to affect legitimate biz owners who already comply with all the existing paperwork; it will simply add another unpaid duty to their accounting. Which means they'll raise prices to cover it. Which the government thinks will mean more sales tax generation for states/cities if nothing else. But like all things of this nature, it means that hampering business and making them raise prices means less buying volume from an already cash strapped citizenry, which means less sales volume for business, which means less income tax to the fed. - OS

And AFTER the primary? - OS

Shame on you for admitting it. During my brief stay in England long ago, Nukie Brown was considered even by the poor graduate students I hung with to be the brewed equivalent of US wino certified Ripple. Of course I knocked back a good bit of it while there, too, though, just for scientific inquiry purposes. - OS

I'd probably choose a posted place to rob, all else being equal. Might nudge the odds for me a tad. - OS

You pay for all federal buildings, too. And can't carry in any of them. Not even a 2.5" knife, either. Or the City/County building in Knoxville, which I pay for. - OS

It's only a violation in the eyes of Congress if you are stupid enough to get caught and have your dirty laundry spread all over the news, so that they have to act on it to preserve their charade of decorum and honesty. - OS

Maybe in 9mm, I dunno. There's still a ton of Wolf .223 lacquer coated. And Tula, Brown Bear, and Monarch and the other Russian ones that I can't think of. All of which a still from the same couple of Russian mega plants. At least it's still for sale, whether it's currently manufactured that way I hear differing opinions. I just bought couple hundred rounds of Brown Bear lacquer coated from CTD to round out an order, for example. I realize that some Wolf is USA manufactured now, though. Seems like all the .22 is. - OS edit: Looking around, it DOES look like no more Wolf brand lacquer coated ammo is being produced, so any found would be old stock.

The government started protecting us from ourselves long ago; it has fostered now multiple generations of a welfare class and increasing gummit control of every aspect of our lives. While there's no question that the quality of life in the US has spiraled downhill for the rank and file since sometime after the boom days of post WWII. I sort of see circa 1975 as the big cut off point. That's about when it became normal for a man and wife to BOTH have to work to maintain a previous middle class lifestyle. Before that, a fellow could get a decent job with little more than willingness to learn, sweat, and loyalty, and within a few years, could afford a home, a car, a two week vacation, and his wife could stay home and tend to their 2.4 children. It was also about that time that The Great (Welfare) Society became entrenched enough to realize that it could do about half of that without working at all, and making up the difference with under the table, and generally outside the law, income sources. Or finding someone to sue. - OS

Almost as big a debate as 9mm vs. .45. A lot of steel cased ammo still is lacquer coating, to prevent rusting and encourage feeding, so that is the stuff that melts off in hot chamber. The red stuff is a primer waterproofing sealer, and is found on many cartridges, not just steel cased. You notice it because of the color, but it's just part of the melted "goop". Now, there's also a lot of steel cased ammo that is polymer coated, too...and yours may be, and maybe you're only seeing the primer seal, I don't know. Most folks have generally come to the conclusion that steel cased ammo is NOT any harder on extractors than any other, as the steel is of a type that is still softer than the steel of a gun, but many diehards still swear it is harder on a gun, especially the extractor, than brass cased. I've never seen any kind of "scientific" evidence to show that any part of guns wear quicker with steel cased, myself. The main thing is that there are many thousands of ARs that just don't run well with the steel cased ammo, at least the lacquer coated kind. The majority of steel cased being shot is 5.56/223 and 7.62. Main reason being that steel case doesn't expand as well with as tight a seal in chamber as brass, and builds up residue quicker, both regular powder residue and of course the lacquer especially or perhaps even the polymer also. My Mini 14 absolutely doesn't care what kind of .223 is run through it, btw. I guess that's the only steel cased stuff I've shot much of, that I can remember. So, settle back, and let the opinions fly. - OS

Which ultimately was probably the advice of lawyers, especially as regards malpractice insurance...."gee my doctor never warned me that an unsecured gun could have killed my kid". - OS

Traditionally it is used for paying temporary labor, like freelance work and whatnot. For example, folks who used me in the past for puter/graphics services, but I wasn't on their payroll. They'd issue a 1099 at end of year for total amount of services, a copy of which goes to IRS also. I have issued a few myself, for hiring other freelancers to help with certain jobs, etc. 1099-MISC is generally for labor/services Banks and financial managers also use them, as interest, dividends, and etc. They issue 1099-INT, 1099-DIV There are actually a bunch of different 1099's, like: 1099-A: acquisition or Abandonment of Secured Property 1099-B: Proceeds from Broker and Barter Exchange Transactions 1099-C: Cancellation of Debt 1099-CAP: Changes in Corporate Control and Capital Structure 1099-DIV: Dividends and Distributions 1099-G: Government Payments 1099-H: Health Insurance Advance Payments 1099-INT: Interest Income 1099-LTC: Long Term Care Benefits 1099-MISC: Miscellaneous Income 1099-OID: Original Issue Discount 1099-PATR: Taxable Distributions Received From Cooperatives 1099-Q: Payment from Qualified Education Programs 1099-R: Distributions from Pensions, Annuities, Retirement Plans, IRAs, or Insurance Contracts 1099-S: Proceeds from Real Estate Transactions 1099-SA: Distributions From an HSA, Archer MSA, or Medicare Advantage MSA - OS

Well, that's certainly the first thing I look for in a shovel. Guess I should use a machete to dig a hole? - OS

Sounds like there's some new prompt built into the new Vbulletin version that urges you to post if you haven't in some length of time, although this is the first I've heard of it? - OS

Nancy, I had an old Remington 1900 double barrel shottie 12 gauge, made about 1903. Had been my granddad's, and I learned to shoot with it also. Though it seems like a sin to sell off a family heirloom, I'm single, only child, no kids. So really nobody close to leave it to. I wanted a defensive shotgun, and there was some question as to whether this old gun, although in good shape, was actually even chambered for 2 3/4", although even 3" shells fit in there, and I had even shot a couple of them to re-test it; even Remington couldn't tell me for sure. At any rate, from research, especially looking at same model sales on gun sites, it looked to be worth as much as $750 to the right collector, in the shape it was in. Rather than try to get top dollar with the hassle of selling on GunBroker or etc, I put it on TGO, and sold it for $525 to TGOer who wanted it as gift for a relative, who had had exactly the same model stolen. And he used it. So that was a good thing, and I used the bucks to buy modern stuff. Also had an old Davenport single barrel, just a junker, made about 1898, maybe nice to put on wall as a decoration, that's about all. Had no takers for even $50, so put it on consignment at Coal Creek for $60, and the dang thing sold, to some fellow who had similar one and needed some parts. CC took ten bucks and I got my 50. That's my only experience selling antique guns. - OS

Wow, had NOT heard of that. - OS

Enforcement will perhaps be an "interesting" proposition. For example, you are also supposed to pay TN sales tax on all items bought out of state, too, including internet purchases. Just sayin'... Of course, all businesses with an federal or state EIN will be easier to check than others.... - OS

Aren't the Williams family folks there at Music Outlet on Winfield Dunn considered pretty knowledgeable on stringed instruments? Whether they have best selection/prices, you might at least pick their brains? - OS
