Yard sale 19-2

[gjamison]

Outstanding find!!!!!!!

I'll never forget the day I drove by a garage sale and as I went by I saw guns leaning against the house. So I turn around, the long guns were junk but on a table there were a bunch of revolvers. The one that grabbed my eye was a S&W model 57 6" barrel and nickel finish, asked how much, $200!!!!! Almost had a accident in my shorts, had to call my neighbor to bring cash. This happened about 10 years ago....

Yep people are usually waiting half an hour before the yard sale begins just in hope of getting the good stuff or guns before anyone else gets there to scarf them up.

When I walked into the garage I see a table to my left with guns. After I take some deep breaths and calm down I pick out these 4 guns, paid $800 for the four.

In free states you don't have to register guns

In free states you go to jail for possession of stolen or illegal firearms.

You guys are waaaayyyy too indoctrinated into MASS/CALI laws and their weird oppressive nonsense.
In TN, there the OP hails from, you can buy from a private seller and it is not even the slightest big deal. I live in Maine now, and lived in VA before that, and have bought and sold hundreds (yes, hundreds) of guns without any tiny little bit of trouble.
In FREE AMERICA you can do that sort of thing.
In about 10 states, you can assume you are in trouble every minute due to draconian legal nonsense.
So, calm down and be super happy for this gent, because he got a fine revolver (one of the best in the world) for a very fine price. He seems to have gotten three free guns in the deal too.

Don't want to throw cold water on a fine purchase, but, how did you register it?

Don - why **** on this thread?
You are suggesting that the OP has done something wrong

Bought the most powerful air rifle I've had at a yard sale many years ago ANIB. Couldn't wait to get home. The 19-2 is a fine S&W. Good for you!

Sorry if I upset anyone in the free 40 states in this country! To the OP, enjoy your good fortune. I guess only bad people live in MA/Cal.

Nope, there's good people everywhere. But some states have a majority of misinformed people led by a few "bad people".

Ah, "the rest of the story"! Not really scoundrel territory, but still a good deal. What's the rifle in the middle, looks like it has a pretty weird stock?


Side bar: My favorite "Not California" story was from Montana, a couple Cali boys were up there and saw a flyer in town about a yard sale with guns. They head out there, find a few tables set up, one of which had a bunch of rifles and shotguns, and.... Nobody else around! There was a coffee can set up to put your money in for whatever you took.

Yep, I agree. A really great, but still very fair, price on three nice guns and one absolutely fantastic one. Congratulations.
