I missed it on the schedule & was just texted the listing by a friend.

I have so much planned for tomorrow that I'm not sure I can squeeze in another activity.

I?ve shot it with a modified, does make it harder, but doable.

How far were we shooting & with what again?

I won’t attend another concert where Social D is playing after this story.

I can’t recall having ever been to a punk show where the crowd or band didn’t flick off each other, or give each other a hard time. Initiating physical violence because someone else has an opposing view is antithesis to what I personally always felt punk music and that culture was trying to represent.

Light modified and about 35 yards at the time of engagement.

Chokes aren?t as perfect as the charts that people make for them. I?ve seen loads pattern tighter or looser in different guns. And different loads change things as well.

One of the news channels is doing a daily report of the number of children killed by firearms in the current week.
My wife's first question was, why aren't they reporting the number killed in traffic accidents this week?
Yep, good point.
I was getting ready for a garage sale, and was recalling that I used to go to the flea market on Federal north of I-70 on the week-ends when I got out of the service in the early 70's.
I would sell the lamps I made in my spare time while back in college.
Firearms were on display, for sale, and traded just like any other item being sold.
My little view of the world has changed substantially since then.

I have so many bits & bobs I could easily sell @ a garage sale.

I just don't have it in me to do the CL & nextdoor & whatnot.

Are yard sales as much of a pain as I imagine them to be?

People want rock bottom prices and I think they are just looking for a deal too good to pass up. Other than that, it does get rid of your stuff. When you are done, just donate it as you wont make much with a garage sale.
09-12-2019, 17:26

No. Yard sales are where people come, make you unreasonable offers, you haggle, and they clean up your junk for you while leaving you money for stuff you would likely throw out next year anyway. Made enough to take family to a nice dinner.

As long as there is a neighborhood Garage/yard sale happening, you get free advertising. And put everything in the driveway with free signs taped to everything, it is no hassle at all. You don’t even have to open your door or monitor the items.
This is how I got rid of a bunch of crap without making a trip to the dump.

I'd rather just donate it to ARC or Goodwill.

09-12-2019, 18:21
ChickNorris

Yep. Already put a few things out for the parents to fight over when they picked up their kids @ the school.

Then they left the free sign as litter in the street.

I wasn't the least bit surprised.

Not sure I could hold my tongue at a bunch of folks pawing @ things I like enough to not put in a dumpster or too fragile to survive the arc donation ride.

Meh.

I've said this before, I'm near ordering a roll off & just emptying the house. . . save a few bit of precious.

My point about the 'stuff'

Fruit pattern china no matter how collectable doesnt translate as currency in the firearms community.

It's kind of interesting that you weren't sure of that way before today.

It almost begs the question....what was it that finally drove you off that cliff? ha ha.

There isn't a garage sale down here where you can't find at least 1 or 2 guns on tables.

Last sale, i looked at an old model 59 smith. Ask the guy, how much?

Oh that's worth $700 as it's illegal now to make guns that take 15 round magazines [ROFL3].

ARE YOU HIGH? Who told you that line of crap? Needless to say he turned down my offer of $250.

Sad thing is . He was as serious as a heart attack, guns were no longer being made that took double stack mags.
They only make guns that take 7 rounds or less [facepalm]

We tell people. if you don't make us an offer and buy something. It's going to the thrift store donation bin in the morning.

As for who it gets donated to. FUCK GW. They've become the over retail price thrift store, with no more making offers on items. Hey you do anything on this clothing? Sorry, everything is price set by corporate . Bar codes and the like.

That's why I listed ARC first. Goodwill is convenient for drop-offs.

I was looking up information regarding laundering Old Glory, and I had never heard of this:

Cleaning Cotton Flags

Natural fiber flags such as cotton and wool should be handled with greater care. We suggest spot cleaning or dry-cleaning. Please contact your local dry cleaners for their recommendation. A majority of dry-cleaners will dry-clean a U.S. flag at no charge.

The one you have looks like one of my nylon flags.
