ad closed Daisy Power Line 415 BB gun

[Scotty]

This was a panic buy during the early days of Covid. Thought there was a chance that the ammo shortage would be even more brutal than it was. My shooting partner and I saw the price of .22lr and bought this randomly after he received his  dd214 in April after weeks of stopping the spread. 
 

Needless to say we never needed it. The CO2 should still be viable.  
 

I am offering this free, with stipulations. I have held onto it solely for the idea of teaching my nephew to shoot. 
 

Im looking for a well established member who wants to teach the next generation shooting, safety, and generally break the stigma about gun ownership. 
 

I have at least 350 sealed bb rounds. All free. If someone were sitting on 9mm HD rounds I would take that as a trade so I can cycle mine. Also if you wanted to contribute .380/12/556. But that is by no means a requirement. 
 

The requirement is that you’re an established member who is going to teach the next generation niece/nephew/grandchildren that shooting is no more vilified than hanging out in pool halls, hitting the golf range, or throwing darts. 
 

Meetup would be ideally my driveway, otherwise Goodlettsville police station. If this ad doesn’t receive feedback from a well established member I will delete it in 7 days.  
 

TNGO has been more than kind to me, want to pay it forward and hoping to make someone a “cool” family member that can and teach the next generation.

 Safety Reminder for Buyers and Sellers 

This is an automatic reply meant to protect you as a buyer and a seller on TGO.

• Use the Buyer/Seller Feedback feature to research who you are dealing with.   Please come back and leave feedback for each other after the transaction is complete.  Your experience will help others.
   
• Never agree to use an electronic form of payment to buy or sell a gun!  None of the electronic payment services will protect you against fraud in a firearms transaction.  They all have terms of service FORBIDDING the use of their services to buy/sell guns.  DON'T DO IT.
   
• Be very wary of anyone who insists on brokering a deal in private or outside of TGO.  Scammers almost always prefer to operate out of the public eye.

If you wish to pass it along, I would gladly take it. And just for the reason you would like. I have a few young friends that would benefit from this. Sadly, they are not in my neighborhood. I would need to go outside Nashville, to the Cookeville area where some of my young 2nd and 3rd cousins live. As you say, a good way to introduce them to shooting.

Thanks for offering this.

Beautiful Pup!

I’m a big ol’ softie. 
 

As of now I will give hipower the first refusal.  I wanted this to go into an established members hands and hopefully pass on the sporting aspect/de-vilify guns. 
 

I am off this weekend and hope we can make something work. Per our private messages I’d be more than happy to come to you in the next three days. 

 

Thanks,

 

Scotty

Thank you, sir. Been called a lot of things recently, but not "established". Old Fart most often, and "he who walks like drunken sailor" more recently.

I'll text tomorrow, at a reasonable hour. I have an early morning doc visit, and late afternoon event scheduled.

Does the pup come with a years supply of food, if so I will take the dog.

[Scotty]

Ha. Well, we do have about a years supply of dog food stockpiled. I like to tell him if the economy gets any worse we'll both be eating it.

That's my best friend, like him so much I even bought my home specifically to give him a little land to let him run and roam and be a country dog. Can come home after working 20 hours and dead tired and he never fails to put a smile on my face.

He earned his keep this season tracking for me and he got some venison bone broth and sheds/bones as a reward. Most high energy and prey driven dog I've ever owned, he needs to run an hour a day or else he's miserable. Helps me get some sunshine and garden. I think he's got a little bit of boxer and lab mixed in.

Before you sign up for ownership, just know that little $200 pound puppy has had $40k worth of medical expenses, and has spent probably in total 30 days on multiple ICU vet visits. Spider bite, adverse vaccine reaction, 2 ACL surgeries,  couple dogs jumped him, and then the kicker was ALS/Fungal Meningitis (Spinal tap, brain stem, intense). He's a little gimpy some days but he's always happy as hell. His antibiotics are a pre-covid luxury car payment a month. People tell me I'm nuts, but I waited my whole life to have a place to let a dog run. Would love to get him a sibling but I don't have the time these days. That said, he is worth every penny, and I get my return on investment everyday I pull up the drive.

He's met a couple of TNGO members so if you ever get a text with a vehicle make and model and a puppy in the back seat that'll be this stud.

A great many of us here understand and agree with your decisions and how you manage your life with your companion...the furry one, not your lady. lol. Although sometimes their are similarities in both situations.

In either case, many of us, myself included will prioritize our daily lives for them. Our last, Molly, was my constant companion throughout my cancer issues and recovery. When her health issues cropped up, we took as good of care with her as with ourselves.

Amen, brother. We lost our Molly on July 14 of last year. The pain is still here. I swear we hear her walking the halls at night. I miss her running to greet me when the car pulled in. I think that hurts the most now, walking in alone.

Nikiski Dave...Thank you.
