Ok, I went. Pretty typical for Great American. Not nearly enough parking. Building too small, narrow isles and people shoulder to shoulder. Hard to move around in there. There were some decent vendors and some good guns. Good supply of ammo. But as usual, everything was way over priced. I didn't find anything I wanted. Overall rating: Meh!

Its a game as old as time. Doesn't matter if its politics, race, religion or whatever. Keep the people fighting among themselves and they're too busy to pay attention to what the people in power are doing. Plus, there's always money to be made out of it.

Who the Hell is saying its a hoax?

I don't get the whole Royalty thing either. Really don't care for the idea of it. But I did admire Elizabeth. She was one Hell of a lady.

Too bad. I liked her. Classy, but still a tough old broad. I read a story a while back where she met some Arabic dignitary at her country estate. The country this guy was from didn't allow women to drive. So she made a point of putting him in a Land Rover and giving him a tour of the place while she drove. Gotta love a gal like that.

I just got back from the Jeweler. As i suspected, most of it isn't worth much. He did find 10 rings and one old watch that are the real deal and worth some money. One ring in particular he valued at $1000. The bad news is that those places that buy jewelry generally only pay about 15% of what its worth. He said that's pretty much industry standard. He guessed that for all the good stuff together I might get around $400-500. The rest of it, while not worth a whole lot is pretty nice stuff. I'm guessing any one item could sell for $5-10 at a yard sale or flea market. There's quite a bit of it and that could add up. But I just don't want to go to the trouble. I think I'll just give it all to my DIL. Or at least let her go through it and pick what she wants. If there's anything left maybe I can sell it to one of those people who buy up yard sale stuff and take it to the flea market.

You guys are in the wrong thread. Meanwhile.... https://wreg.com/news/local/man-responsible-for-multiple-shootings-wanted-police-say/

I don't start no and take very little.

Details are still sketchy, but from the TV coverage, best I can tell, 4 people shot. At least one dead. 3 maybe 4 carjackings as he tried to get away. It started at an Auto Zone in Frayser were he walked in and live streamed himself on FB shooting the 1st victim. Several more shootings and carjackings took him as far as Southaven. He was captured alive in South Memphis. But may be injured after wrecking the car he was in. This part is unclear at this time. Memphis has gone totally ape chit!

Are you really gonna start this ? 42 years as a mechanic working in fleets. I can tell you for a fact that nothing holds up better than a Ford.

Show it to us!

No, we used paper maps that were given away at gas stations and could never be re-folded again.

Service grade.

Here's mine. 1942 Colt frame with an Ithica slide. No rebuild marks.

Very interesting indeed. I like the part where the super rich are worried that their own paid security will turn against them. Yep, I think these guys are going to in for quite a shock if the S ever does HTF. All their money and planning is going to backfire on them big time.

This is interesting. Not very far from me. I guess I'll go check it out. I found that the promoter is Great American Promotions They tried a couple of shows in Memphis before. I wasn't really impressed. But the venue that they had then was too small and crowded. Maybe they'll do better in Somerville. RK lost their venue in Memphis. Last I heard they haven't found a new place yet. No shows in a while now and none scheduled on their site. So I guess this is all we got. I hope it doesn't suck. Go to Great American's web site and you can print out a $1 off coupon.

True. I'm sure there will be lots of pressure from her very rich family and friends. But Mulroy just got the job. He may feel a need to prove his point.

Such a shame. Just proves that bad things do happen to good people and no place is safe anymore. 1st degree murder and kidnapping are both capital crimes. I do hope they go with no bail and pursue the death penalty. The question is does Mulroy have the balls for it?

IDK, the guy is shaping up like a drug dealer. He may have that in petty cash. And if he does make bail, you can bet he'll be gone in a hurry. But I do fear that at this point they're looking for a body.

Land is the thing. I grew up hunting and enjoyed it. Mostly on farm land owned by family and friends. But slowly over the years they sold out or died off. Finally gave it up about 20 years ago simply because I ran out of places to go. Your best chance is to join a hunting club. But most aren't open to strangers. Ya gotta know somebody.

I don't do FB . What's all this about? I've heard nothing of it on the news. I do hope she's found alive and well.

One of the classics that every serious gun owner should have in their collection. Beautiful example you have there. Congratulations!

Last I heard demand was still very high. Springfield is giving Stocking Dealers first priority too. Just gotta keep your eyes open and jump when the chance hits. That's how I got mine.

I was in my safe yesterday and realized that I have two large boxes of my late wife's old jewelry taking up space in there. The stuff has just been sitting in there for years. Its an odd collection of stuff going back to both our mothers and grandmothers. Maybe even farther. Most of it is just cheap junk. But, I know my wife had said that some of it was worth quite a bit. The problem is that I know nothing about jewelry and couldn't tell junk from valuable. The question is what to do with it? I have no use for it. I don't need to sell it. Don't need the money. But its just sitting here doing nothing. My older son is coming by later today to look through it. But I really doubt he'll want me than a couple of pieces to remember his mother by. I'm seriously considering just giving it to my Daughter-in-law as she's the only woman in the family. But i don't even know if she will want it. I'd really like to have a jeweler take a look at it. But there's a lot of it and that would take hours. Anybody know an honest jeweler in the Memphis area who might be willing to take a look? Any other suggestions on what to do with it?
