    USFA Rodeo - Shoot, Save, or What ?

    Straw purchases/sales: time factor ?

    A friend asked me about this & I'm curious too, - obviously if someone bought a firearm from a gunshop and then stepped out the door and sold it to someone else, he may very well have a serious legal problem regarding a 'straw purchase'. That is, buying a gun for someone else. On the other hand...

    Michael Moore Interview: Possible GAME CHANGER

    Hi guys. I heard about this interview today with Michael Moore. It absolutely was not what I expected. It completely blew me out of my chair. Take the time to watch the whole thing. But, if time is short pay particular attention at what is said from around 11 min 30 sec into the video. And then...

    Gun Purchase Insta-Check: "Further Review" ?

    Hello everyone. Ive been buying firearms for many years. As I recall, when the background insta-check was run, it went through quickly, practically immediately. (Though in some of the larger gunshops theyve called in the info from a separate office rather than repeat the customers info so...

    'Multiple' Gun Purchases ?

    Please pardon me guys if this question has been answered in the past. I've just spent about 40 minutes trying to find the information I'm looking for - but the posts were either old or not relevant. Recently, when in a gun shop, one of the employees said that "if someone bought more than one...

    Non FFL Auction sellers - shipping by USPS

    Hi guys - please pardon the following mini-rant. Recently I found several handguns that I've wanted for some time on auction sites. The sellers don't have an FFL, but state that they will ship the handgun by Priority Mail. I've messaged them with the US Postal Service link stating that a non-FFL...

In each case I have the sales receipt. - - Well I was looking back at receipts from 5 & 10 years back and more . . . and its almost 'shocking' how much gun prices have gone up.

    Buy Used Guns Online without Inspection Period ?

    Hi everyone - - - I'm posting this because I am amazed at the number of sellers who sell used guns without allowing a 3 day non-shooting inspection period - defined as having 3 days from the time the gun arrives at the FFL to reject or accept it. The 3 days gives you a little leeway incase...
