I use Apple cables because the plastic around the lightning connector is slimmer than most knock-offs. The slightly larger ones don't fit in the port through my RhinoShield case, which I love.

We're like our own Freecycle sometimes. Tony Bates Ford in Lebanon may "trade for anything that don't eat", but I'm not sure some TGOers have that limitation. I know I've been surprised by some of the things tossed around on the Trading Post. The sex swing was probably the best.

My opinion is to get the Benefactor membership for 6 months. It's only $20. Then make up some "Want to Trade" ads and see what happens. You'll either be surprised at the positive response and end up with some new-to-you firearms, or at worst you'll be out $20 that helped keep this site going.

I like a lot of the shirts made by Project 615. I just ordered this one: http://www.project615.org/shop-online/dywg0sgbsxhi5ymq0s5ja5ottqnnws

Things were different then. We didn't have as many mob incidents then as we do now. When there were riots in yesteryear, there was a build-up to them. Communication was slower so building outrage took longer. Everyone knew Harlem was about to erupt in the 1970s, but something like Ferguson can happen in a matter of a few hours due to social media and the 24 hour news cycle. Cops used to carry revolvers because 6 shots was plenty "if you make the first one count". Incidents requiring a self-defense action were one or two perps. Today an officer can make every shot count from a 17+1 Glock 17 and had still better have an extra mag or 3, and more officers on the way. Criminals acting together, higher capacity firearms, and the possibility of body armor have changed the equation. Reginald Denny was just driving his dump truck for his construction job on what he thought was a normal day when he found himself in the start of the Rodney King riots in L.A. I doubt he was expecting the death squad to be after him that day. The SHTF truck gun is for days that are decidedly not normal days. It's simply an insurance policy. Almost everyone with it will probably never need it, but it only takes once and you'd better have it.

If the all-clear is given by then (it should be), then I say go. The local economy there is heavily dependent on tourism dollars. They need us to show up when they're ready to welcome visitors again. My wife and I plan to go as soon as possible once the all-clear is given.

There is and has been for a while a municipal code forbidding parking of a motor vehicle on the grass at any residential location. It has nothing to do with selling the vehicle though. It applies whether the vehicle is up for sale or not. Codes Enforcement doesn't just drive around looking for that kind of thing though. A neighbor would have to complain, then they'd come out. If you weren't a jackhole about it, they'd probably just ask you to move it and go take a 2 hour lunch. I wouldn't expect a fine to be handed out until their 2nd visit. 16.24.330 B - Can't park/store an inoperable vehicle in a visible location 16.24.330 K 5 - Can't park in the grass.

Maybe. Some builders don't carry an insurance policy to cover the structure, only injury liability, tools, materials, etc. I don't know what (if any) TN requires builders to carry.

I think I just peed a little.

Yep. That's true for buying from a licensee, but a non-licensee private sale is 18+ for handguns too.

Driftwood Apartments definitely burned. KnowxNews.com has some photos. Scroll down past the video to find the slideshow. #28 of 60 is the Driftwood: http://www.knoxnews.com/story/news/2016/11/29/30-gatlinburg-structures-fire-tema/94584554/ Park Vista's structure is concrete, but it's still full of stuff that burns like carpet, furniture, cabinets, drapes, bedding, etc. The video shared yesterday by their Sous Chef was pretty incredible. If it didn't burn part of that place, they'll be incredibly lucky.

Earlier reports that Ober Gatlinburg was destroyed appear to be false. Ober posted pics on their FB page this morning showing the building intact and said they appear to have been spared. The last report I read said the Park Vista hotel was still burning and that much of Regan Rd. (the road by Ripley's Believe It Or Not) from the parkway up towards Park Vista was heavily damaged or destroyed. One of the agencies (can't recall which) said that the main downtown stretch of Gatlinburg is intact, but it looks like the Apocalypse on either side of it.

I'm simply saying the law makes no distinction on age above 18 for private sales. I've never bought or sold with anyone so young before, but I would consider a BOS in that case. It's a little bit of a CYA, but it's certainly not required. I really like to see an HCP during a sale, so that excludes <21. Legally though, there's no difference if I lawfully sell to an 18yo or to an 80yo if either one goes out on a shooting rampage with a firearm that can be traced to me. In either case, the press and the cops will both beat a path to my door.

FFL can sell long guns to 18+, Handguns to 21+ Private sale can be either long gun or handgun at 18+. The law is not ambiguous in this matter.

Mine too, but mine was in 3 boxes. Go figure.

It's perfectly legal to sell firearms to an 18 yo in a private sale. The same rules apply as stated above.

The attached PDF in this post is broken. Don't know if that's a new thing or not.

As for a bill of sale, Oh Shoot is right. Just a broken link. I've reported that in the Support board. A quick Google search turned this one up from a Texas trading site. It's very similar to the one that the broken link used to go to. It's not state specific and doesn't need to be here. I'd use it if I needed one: http://texasguntrader.com/billofsale.pdf

Becoming a Benefactor is done by paying a nominal fee that helps keep this site running. By becoming a Benefactor, you get access to post ads (Sale, Trade, or Wanted) in any of the 4 Classifieds boards in the Trading Post section. You also gain access to a board for Benefactors-only called "Benefactor Lounge" in the General Interest section. It's similar to the General Chat board, but sometimes we share special deals amongst ourselves. I try to post any great deals I find on that board to benefit other Benefactors....after I order whatever it is for myself, of course. For example, we have some sticky threads on various ammo deals where we share any good ones we find with one another. It's not for buying or selling, but sometimes people post free stuff on there to let other Benefactors have first dibs. https://www.tngunowners.com/forums/store/category/1-benefactor-subscriptions/

Step 1: Get a Benefactor subscription to TGO. Step 2: List it for sale on TGO. Step 3: Follow the tips below and make the sale. In a private sale, you don't have to do any paperwork at all. By law, you're only required to not have knowledge (reasonable suspicion?) that the buyer is a prohibited person. The buyer needs to be a resident of the same state as the seller. I require to see a TN drivers license or HCP and that's good enough for me, most of the time. An exception for me is that if the gun I'm selling came to my possession via a gun shop (Form 4473), then I'll require a bill of sale. There's no law stating I have to get a bill of sale, but in those cases, I still want one. Some people want one for every sale. It's a personal preference. Do what you're comfortable with. In your ad, simply list any requirements you have about a bill of sale. Some buyers won't sign one, others won't do a deal without one, and some just don't care either way. Just be clear in your ad which way you want it to go. For your first sale, I suggest that you go ahead and use a bill of sale. It will help your peace of mind. There's one available in the link Sam1 posted above. You can decide if you want to keep doing that or not on other sales. Once you have a buyer, talk with them on the phone. Texts and IMs are fine, but I like to speak with a person. You can often tell if something's not on the up and up that way. Also check their TGO profile and iTrader ratings. Look at who has left them feedback and see if you recognize those names as active forum members. If so, that's a good sign. Are they a new member or have they been around for years with lots of posts? Just get an idea of who you're dealing with. Then plan to meet in a public place during daylight hours. Perhaps a place very close to the local police station, or the lot of the station itself. Many have an area designated for online sales. Not specifically firearms, but online in general. Kind of a Craigslist meet-up point. Assuming you have an HCP, then go armed and, if possible, take an armed friend along.

A couple were in a busy shopping center just before Christmas. The wife suddenly noticed that her husband was missing and as they had a lot to do, so she called his cell phone. The wife said " Where are you, you know we have lots to do." He said "You remember the jewelers we went into about 10 years ago, and you fell in love with that diamond necklace? I could not afford it at the time and I said that one day I would get it for you?" Little tears started to flow down her cheek and she got all choked up… "Yes, I do remember that shop." she replied. "Well I am in the gun shop next door to that."

+1 for the good guys.

Thanks...
