Ran into a little piece of history...

I was reorganizing some stuff and ran into this business card. I knew I had it. I wasn't sure where it was. Anybody want to venture a guess before someone with google figures out its rather sad significance?

That might be worth a couple bucks to collectors of several genres. For all the wrong reasons of course.

Hmm. Maybe I should auction it off....

I suppose it might be of interest to some fans.

The FFL "L7" means it expired in November of a year ending in 7; 1987 likely. Joe

I got the card in '78 so would they be good for 10 years? I think "the event" put them out of business.

A piece of history right there.

Some folks research and collect paraphernalia from famous topics.

Any clues for us clueless folks?

I'm not going to try and look it up but didn't John Hinkley buy a gun in Hawaii before flying to Washington DC to attempt to assassinate Ronald Reagan ? Was that business the seller of the gun ?

Mark David Chapman bought the gun he used to murder John Lennon at that store.

Good guess, and I guess a close one...check the post just above.

The salesman who sold the gun (a Charter .38) to Chapman allegedly was named "Ono". Talk about a coincidence.

Probably 1977. As I remember (almost half my lifetime ago) 01 FFL's were annual ($10) when I 1st got mine in 1982. They went to 3 year sometime between '82 and '95 (mine expired M5). Joe

So Yoko Ono's first husband sold the gun to the guy who killed John Lennon! Bet he gave him John's address and threw in a box of bullets too. I don't believe in coincidence.

Wait a minute Caj! Remember cui bono? Think your supposition through again.

I don't use suppositions. For all the good they do, you'd just as soon shove them up your ***
