If you look at the two big used gun classified sites in Tennessee, you will be amazed at how much most people ask for used guns. Most of the asking prices for used guns are far more than what I was selling brand new guns for in 2012. I think a lot of people are unaware that the scare of 2013 is over. I really do not think that many of them actually sell though.

Just about every gun I sell is in like new condition. I collect them. I am not much of a shooter and rarely shoot one. I had an FFL and still have accounts with a couple of distributors so I am able to check dealers cost. I price my like new used guns at the dealers  cost of a new gun. The buyer saves the dealer markup, sales tax, and background check fee.

A Springfield Armory Loaded. I see them on Gunbroker all the time go for about $685.

The pendelum certainly seems to be swinging in our direction. But let's not get too excited. It could change directions at any time,

We live in a society where no one seems to have any respect for other people anymore. As my older generation dies off, it will only get worse.

I think a lot of cops have a thing about not liking to be challenged either by a person or a dog. They know they can get away with shooting the dog. .

  And also the fact that the Governor of Colorado kept his seat.

I have AVG free and Armslist works fine for me.

I usually go to bed about 1:00 AM and get up about 9:00. Everyone in my neighborhood seems to want to mow the grass at 7:00 AM. We need some kind of noise ban from 8:00 PM until 9:00 AM. No two people keep the same hours and he probably has no idea it is bothering you. People just do not think anymore.

The thing that bothers me the most is a firearm with messed up screw heads where some wannabe gunsmith worked on them with an improperly fitting screwdriver. Makes me want to scream.

Took a Mini 30 tactical to the range yesterday. I can't really compare the accuracy to the Rock River AR that I took along as both had iron sights and both were more accurate than I am.I also think the shorter barrels shoot better in the Mini's. Best shooting Mini 14 I ever had was a 13 inch barrel AC556 Model. It was a tack driver. Shot 100 rounds through each rifle yesterday with zero malfunctions from either one. Several other people were at the range and shot both rifles. Everyone seemed to think  the Mini 30 shot just as well as the AR. The extra thump on my shoulder is reassuring in the fact that I do not doubt the stopping power of the 7.62 round. I have six AR's but like the Mini 30 better. Next time we have a panic, I will be selling all the AR's.

I have four of the tactical models and they are my favorite rifles. Ammo is a little pricey as I only use brass case. I have a few AR's but am not a fan of the 223/556 caliber. I tried a couple of AK's first, but could not force myself to like the feel of an AK. The Mini 30 tactical reminds me of an old M1 Carbine when I shoulder it. It's not perfect but so far it fits me better than anything else that I have tried. And I have tried a bunch of them.

As a former FFL, I can tell you that it is not uncommon. When I pressed TICS about why a customers appeal was not responded to, they would always tell me that many of the appeals were either incomplete or illegible resulting in them being unable to be processed.They recommend that the appeal form be completed in the gun shop and the dealer fax it to them. That way the dealer can check it to make sure it is complete and legible. I also had a customer denied at a gun show who came back 30 minutes later and told me they had approved him for a gun purchase from another dealer. I called him in again and that time they approved it. Go figure?

The Amish build them here in Etowah. They have a community just off Hwy 411 about 6 miles South of town. They have a farmers market where they sell their vegetables and the Community Mini Barns Business. They usually keep about a dozen in stock and will custom build you one. They have a man from Decatur who has a rollback truck, who delivers them.

You don't see them for sale as often now as most manufacturors now ship the flat top carbine with a magpul rear sight instead of a carry handle to cut costs. eBay and AR15.com still have one occasionaly but prices usually run $60-$75. Palmetto State Armory has a mil spec one for about $59 that is probably just as good. I would stay away from the $20 to $30 models. You usually get what you pay for.

You do not have to buy the permanent $93 tag. I bought a one year tag for my utility trailer. I think it was about $22.00. Utility trailers do not require a tag in Tennessee but Travel Trailers do according to my county court clerks office.

I have Glock 19's in gen 3 and gen 4. I like the feel of the checkered grip of the gen 4 but the gen 3 carries better for me. I use a Bianchi 7 Shadow pancake holster and the checkering on the gen 4 wears on the skin pretty badly.

  I have to agree. I think he makes all gun owners look bad and hurts our cause. On the other hand, if I  were on the jury I would probably compensate him pretty well.

That's what makes this country great. If you don't want them, then you don't have to buy them. If I don't want to sell my property for less than $100, I don't have too. Is this a great country or what.

I gouged yesterday. I sold three bricks of .22 on Armslist for $100. The girl across the street just got a scholarship and started college. Her dad kicked her out of the house because he wanted her to go to work and not attend college. She moved into the dorm without a dollar to her name. I gave her the $100. I feel pretty good about my gouging. Glad none of you flagged me on Armslist.

I have no idea. I have a new 2014 wrangler. I would bet by the time the warranty is out, Auto Zone will have a code reader for it.

I ordered 1500 rounds of the CCI Mini Mag HP from Cabelas in March. Just received my tracking number. CCI must be turning a lot of these out.

I carry a 638. I love the concept of a small single stack striker fired 9MM. My problem is that I just do not have confidence in the reliability of any of the small autos. I realize that some of them are 99% reliable but I am always afraid if I ever needed one, I would find myself with the 1% of the time that it did not work. If I ever need to use a gun, I will be so stressed out that I certainly will not want the extra stress of wondering if my gun might not work.I have a Ruger LCP that I carry when I have to have something truly concealable. So far it has been flawless. I still do not trust it nearly as much as the 638.

I have three. One government and two commanders. They can not be beat for the money.

About 8 years ago, I bought a new 50 HP John Deere. Did not take long to realize it was more tractor than I needed. I have owned 7 new tractors from 17 to 50 HP. Four years ago I bought a new John Deere 3032E 32 hp with hydrostatic transmission, four wheel drive, and a front end loader. $16,000 and 0% financing. It is my favorite tractor so far and I have owned New Hollands, Massey Fergusons, Kubotas and Deeres. It works great with a 5 ft bush hog. The front end loader digs in and breaks up hard ground better than my full size New Holland LB75b backhoes front loader. I can pull it with my half ton truck and it just barely fits under a standard garage door. Best $16,000 I ever spent.
