Question From Viewer : Guidelines and Suggestions for Purchasing a Used Firearm
Q) What price guidelines should I use to purchase a used firearm ?
A) As a general rule .... Firearms are like cars, by demand and collectibility.
Saying that from a seller's point of view they want the best price they can get. Firearm seller's often think what they pay for something relates to it's value, there is nothing further from the truth. Back to a used car versus a new car. You don't get new car prices for a used car unless it is very collectible or in demand. Also sentimental value means nothing to a buyer, so if you are attached to it keep it.
From a buyer's point of view always haggle on price even new firearms. Be patient shop around. Sellers know that you will offer less for a used gun than they are asking, don't disappoint them. On the other hand don't insult them either. I suggest you see what firearms are going for in your area. Common handguns like Glock are popular and turnover as new ones come on the marketplace. Go to the local library and consult the Blue Book of Gun Prices.
If you are a BUYER and acquiring a firearm to resell it through something like an estate auction keep in mind when bidding that there are often buyer's fees plus sales tax. In Arizona the average estate fee to the buyer is 15 percent plus 8.9 percent sales tax. Estate Auctioneers are required by both Federal and State laws ro collect sales tax and to get the firearm buyer cleared for purchase. If you have a criminal record don't bother bidding.
Example:
You bid a 410 Single Barrel Break Action Savage Shotgun for $100.00 you are all ready over the resale price and now you have to add 15% for Auction Buyer Fee and 9.8% Sales Tax making the gun purchased by you $126.27 total. You can buy a new single shot break action shotgun for around $150.00 to $160.00. These sell for between $70.00 to 100.00 used in good condition.
Also a good auction house will list the NRA Rating on any firearm they sell. Try not to bid anything under 85 percent condition rating unless you plan to keep it and use it yourself. Also many used guns come with issues like split or chip stock, rust, bad lever latch, broken safety, pitted bore, bad firing spring, etc. A gun smith is expensive so bare that in mind. The auction house at live auctions want to stir the bidders up and get them bidding against one another so they lose track of the price, don't fall for it.
Important :
If you buy a gun modified from its original use take a tape measure and make sure it fits the required ATF rules for both barrel and overall gun length.
If the seller looks suspicious don't buy a firearm from them it may be stolen or used in the commission of a felony.
Avoid buying firearms with a seller's ad like rare, collectible, in demand, great weapon I hate to part with it .... generally these are just advertising gimmicks.
Know your budget for purchase and stick to it. Shop for firearms within your budget range.
It's also advisable that you get some kind of Bill of Sale, preferable a Private Firearms Transfer Form completed by both parties.

Joe Guns

Revenge and Pranks, Part 1 : Neighbor Done You Wrong
Drop one or two rattlesnakes onto your your neighbors yard.
Note – Good idea if you have a privacy wall between you and your neighbor so the snakes will be deterred from coming back into your yard.
Disclaimer : These are not my ideas, and this behavior is most likely illegal. You are on your own and stupid is not an excuse under the law.
Notice: I have completed going through all the posts from the beginning of this Blog to present. When I get a chance I will start again from the beginning and add new labels.

This is No Way to Treat a Firearm :
Never never try and fire a weapon in this condition.
You could try using some naval jelly to completely remove the rust and then use a cleaning brush with gun cleaning solvent to clean the inside of the barrel. Then mount the firearm onto something like an old tire, use a piece of string or rope, and get back at least 15-feet then pull the trigger. Personally in this condition I would turn it in to the police and have them destroy it for you.

The Grey-Haired Brigade :
About the Grey-Haired Brigade ..... They like to refer to us as senior citizens, old fogies, geezers, and in some cases dinosaurs. Some of us are "Baby Boomers" getting ready to retire. Others have been retired for some time. We walk a little slower these days and our eyes and hearing are not what they once were. We have worked hard, raised our children, and grown old together. Yes, we are the ones some refer to as being over the hill, and that is probably true. But before writing us off completely, there are a few things that need to be taken into consideration. In school we studied English, history, math, and science which enabled us to lead America into the technological age. Most of us remember what outhouses were, some of us with firsthand experience. We remember the days of telephone party-lines, 49 cent gasoline, and ice, bread, and milk being delivered to our homes. For those of you who don't know what an icebox is, today they are electric and referred to as refrigerators. A few can even remember when cars were started with a crank. Yes, we lived those days. We are probably considered old fashioned and out-dated by many. But there are a few things you need to remember before completely writing us off. We won World War II, fought in Korea and Viet Nam. We can quote The Pledge of Allegiance, we said it every morning before school started and know where to place our hand while doing so. We wore the uniform of our country with pride and lost many friends on the battlefield. We didn't fight for the Socialist States of America, we fought for the "Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave." We wore different uniforms but carried the same flag. We know the words to the Star Spangled Banner, America, and America the Beautiful by heart, and you may even see some tears running down our cheeks as we sing. We have lived what many of you have only read in history books and we feel no obligation to apologize to anyone for America. Yes, we are old and slow these days but rest assured, we have at least one good fight left in us. We have loved this country, fought for it, and died for it, and now we are going to save it. It is our country and nobody is going to take it away from us. We took oaths to defend America against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and that is an oath we plan to keep. There are those who want to destroy this land we love but, like our founding fathers, there is no way we are going to remain silent. Well, don't worry youngsters, the Grey-Haired Brigade is here we may drive a little slower than you would like but we get where we're going and there are millions of us. This land does not belong to the man in the White House, Congress, or the Supreme Court. America belongs to "We the People" and "We the People" plan to reclaim our land and our freedom. We hope this time you will do a better job of preserving it and passing it along to our grandchildren. So the next time you have the chance to say the Pledge of Allegiance, Stand up, put your hand over your heart, honor our country, and thank God for the old geezers of the "Grey-Haired Brigade." Also remember the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, “The Right to Keep and Bear Arms” insures that freedom flourishes and tyranny does not.
