Since the world is coming to an end.....

[tlawler]

My last firearm purchase was a Pre-model 18 K22 Target Masterpiece last week. With plenty of .22LR on hand, it will make a great all around EOTWAWKI piece. I may end up having to
hunt the numerous squirrels and rabbits that inhabit our adjacent woods...who knows?

...BUT will add a Brazilian mail order Bride and also keep my Russian mail order Bride.

One is none, two is one, right? But.... been marred 42 years. Wouldn't change anything, but one is plenty.

Picked up a 29-2 and a 24-3.

...was in a small LGS today and some older chick was literally reading every question on the form OUT LOUD! She clearly has never purchased a firearm before! The 23 year old at the end of the counter kept asking the owner for clarity on every question! What in the heck are these folks going to do with whatever they are buying?...

Wasn't it Jeff Cooper who said, "Owning a gun doesn't make you armed any more than owning a guitar makes you a musician"?

Owning a firearm makes anybody armed and dangerous, even a toddler. It's more a matter of WHO is endangered.

That should be..

Owning a gun doesn't make you a Marksman

This ^^^. And he sort of had an ulterior motive given that he was teaching people how to be dangerous to the right people while minimizng the danger to yourself

A week or so ago I bought this Lew Horton, 3", 24-6, 44 Special. Unfortunately, on the first trip to the range I discovered the reason it had such a light trigger was because someone had apparently replaced all the springs with ones that were too light. Between light strikes, and failure of the trigger to return properly about half the time, I decided to take it back. Then I decided to let the in house gunsmith take a look at it and fix it if he can. After all, I DO like the gun. If he can't for some reason, I get my money back. Right after that, things really went out of wack with the world, and I haven't heard anything more. So, I'm just waiting for...something.

I did put a 27-9 on layaway. No big rush to get it out either.

If it's really The End of the World, I'm grabbing "Lucille"

(Although, I did add a Uberti 1873 Cattleman El Patron in .45 LC to the pile this week.)

I've purchased many guns that have had "issues". With good diagnosis skills, they have come home with me and been up and running with a spring or two. Or just a good cleaning.

Since the world is clearly coming to an end, I thought I better grab a Model 69 .44 Combat Magnum and toss some gorgeous, elegant Pat Grashorn grips on 'er. Go ahead and toss us your, "World coming to an end.." revolvers
Go ahead and, "Like" away.

When you fire that with full .44 Magnum ammo, you will indeed think the world is coming to an end!

 

[MetalMan]

These will be the last to go....

66-4 and 19-5

"Since the world is coming to an end....."

Might as well have as much ammunition and toilet paper to last until then?

No, I have already heard of several Northern cities clamping down, she told me Tennessee was locking down now.

I live in TN and was in my local GS to get some primers today. The store was doing a brisk business and no sign of stopping transfers. Several people were in the process of getting background checks. Matter of fact our governor Is very pro 2nd amendment as are many of the counties in the state. The county I live in as well as quite a few others have declared they are Gun sanctuary counties and removing many restrictions on where we can carry. TN has recently, as I understand, made it possible to obtain your Concealed Cary permit without any firearms training and just taking a short course on safety on line and a $65 fee.

I can't see this happening in TN. When the TN legislature tried to get a state income tax years ago, residents of the state converged on Nashville and paralyzed traffic with their cars surrounding the capital and blew their horns all afternoon. They shut the city down. Then every legislator that voted for the tax were voted out of office. I've lived here nearly 70 years and we still don't have an income tax and have very relaxed restrictions on guns. Our politicians know better than to pull any slick tricks.

I'm sure it's just internet chatter.

Also, the FFL delays have become quite long. This will help decrease your wait when the weapon arrives.

When I was in my LGS today, the background checks being run in several customers were approved in just minutes. TN serms to have a very good approval system.

I, too, am really hoping things keep moving along. After looking and wishing for a few years I finally was able to buy one of my grail guns, a model 57, and it's supposed to ship out tomorrow. As you can see, it currently has ugly GoodYears on it but a kind member of this group agreed to sell me a beautiful set of combats for it. I know, a 6" should have targets but I just couldn't pass them up and my payment to him is going out in tomorrow's mail. Just holding my breath that everything gets here ok and in a timely fashion.

Especially with those Grashorn grips on it!

I have a pair of their grips, but keep them on a 3" 65.

 

[.460 Magnum]

Here is my new one for the end of the world, lol. Picked it up about 3 weeks ago. It is a toss up between this 629 or my .460 for the end of the world

 

[.460 Magnum]

And here is my .460 S&W with my 629-6. Probably if there was a Zombie break out, then I would pick the .460 for the power. But if I had to do a lot of walking to escape them I would pick the 629. .

Tennessee is loosening up, not locking down.

"TN has recently, as I understand, made it possible to obtain your Concealed Cary permit without any firearms training and just taking a short course on safety on line and a $65 fee".

Yes, and the previous CC permits automatically became enhanced permits and were given additional privileges.

The new permits without training do not contain all the original privileges.
