Sock drawer rescue mission

[old tanker]

Lady at church says, "You know anyone who want's to buy a gun? Since my Walter died I don't want it in the house with the grandchildren and all."

"What kind of gun is it?"

"Blue."

"I know how much he paid for it and I won't take a dime less!"

"Yes, ma'am."

Model 28-2 from the early Seventies. Yes, the box numbered to the gun, all there but the warranty card.

I'm going to burn in hell, aren't I?

You helped her out and provided a good home for it. No sin...just say three Hail Mary's just in case.
Great looking Patrolman, BTW.

Reward for church go-ers.

hope you gave her more than what her hubby paid....

I'm going to burn in hell, aren't I?

Most likely.

 

[Shooting Padre]

To fully authenticate your special purchase the gun should be blessed. If you could send it to me........

Great purchase and you gave the seller what she asked, no foul, just good blessings.

You are not going to burn in hell imho.

 

[kudzu3]

BE ASHAMED! The only way to make it right is to sell it to me for just what you paid for it. Nice gun, congratulations.

 

[crsides]

you will have lots and lots of company.

She's happy, you're happy, and ole Walter is probably smiling too.

You might not burn in Hell but you might get some time in purgatory and a stern talking to. But Walter will understand.

That Highway Patrolman is too nice for words.

...I'm going to burn in hell, aren't I?

As an act of atonement, and just to be on the safe side, you should send it to me. I, an apostle of Saints Smith & Wesson, will insure that no evil comes your way.

I think you did great. Everyone is happy and it found a new home for a bargain price but the rice was right for the seller!

My nicest handgun was stumbled across kind of the same way. Older couple stated they wanted to get rid of the gun they had for safety reasons. I didn't even realize what it was because I didn't know anything about 1911's but offered them what I thought was a fair price for a beat up old gun. It was triple what they paid for it so they were thrilled! I now realize I paid less for this than any pistol I own.

Nice recovery! Note to self, go to church and hang around the "old folks" who ever that might be Kyle

I attended a Cursillo last weekend, and found several guy's interested in shooting and one who I had known but didn't know he was interested in gun collecting until he mentioned his 2nd gun safe was now full and he had an L C Smith to look at.

God Bless All

Nice find! And hey, at least Hell is warm.

You may burn in Hell, but untill then, enjoy the Mod-28.

In any case, you helped out.
