The best I ever found at a yard sale was a signed Hugo Brehme hand colored photo of a Mexican Villa. I bought it for 3 dollars and sold it for 500 dollars. This was about 6 years ago.

She must be one of those oh gosh the gun may go off people who think guns have a mind of their own.Actually, your average gun has more brains than this ditz who doesn't have a mind at all. It was really funny to watch her removing the gun from the bag!

I just watched the video as suggested-—Geez! What a frickin’ idiot. Handling it with a pencil?? If it had a hair trigger, then she’d really would be crying. We’ve bred a country of dumbasses.
What an emotional psychopath. I would have been crying with joy had I found it.

I’ve slowed down on collecting somewhat since I reached more toys than my age and took up leather making...I would have started cutting the leather for it, first thing....then wet-formed and stamped it before final cutting and sewing...(Even got my own ‘Makers’ Stamp)

“How does this stuff get into the papers? Most normal people would go back to the church and tell them of the discovery or keep the gun, instead of complaining to a newspaper.”
I hope the cops arrest her for carrying concealed without a permit.

Thanks for the clarification.

"Nice find, but you have the risk of it having been used in a crime."How could they know, unless the BGs were good enough to record the gun's SN at the scene of the crime? True, there could be a ballistics match up with something, but what are the odds of any random gun in private hands ever being tested for ballistics?
The S&W Model 36 was introduced in 1950, so there are a lot of possibilities that have a higher probability than use in a crime. Chances that wife or ex-wife was housecleaning late hubby or ex-hubby's stuff? Or someone died and relatives just gave away the owner's things. Or it was left behind in an eviction. BTW, I use Halliburton laptop cases for taking pistols to the range, so this can't be a unique method of storage. They look identical to the Halliburton pistol cases.

Oh, but that would be wrong. ;)

I have a friend who can’t even bear to look at a gun laying on a table. In her case I can understand, she was born in 1940/41 in Holland were as a very young child she witnessed people being rounded up by the Germans. Heard gunshots and may have even witnessed someone being shot. I know she says her father had to hide out in the woods so the Germans wouldn’t kill him. She is a pacifist now.

To: Paladin2
Watch the video, she's one scary chick.
She was crying and bordering on hysteria. She's mental, no doubt about it.
One thing that stuck me as odd is that she knew the gun was fully loaded so she's obviously familiar with guns. Right?

I can understand, she was born in 1940/41 in Holland were as a very young child she witnessed people being rounded up by the Germans.
I suspect that her reaction countered by the opposite reaction by just as many people. Look at how many southeast Asians came here and armed themselves ASAP.

An Evansville woman makes a shocking discovery after a yard sale purchase. She says all she wanted was a laptop case, but when she opened it she found a loaded handgun inside.Uh, do you have the address for the sale?
A lot of people find a lot of great deals at yard sales, but when Rhonda Milligan went to the Evansville Christian Life Center sale she got more than she bargained for.
Two phrases stated as if in contrast, when they're in complete agreement! ;)

Of course, in the insane society that is Illinois, the owner may be cowering in terror, concerned that they may be charged with some vague crime such as endangering public safety or some such.It says Evansville, so I think it's probably Indiana.

True, but it happened to her at a very young age, about 3-4.
Most of what she remembers is terror. Her mother was German so I guess she blames the war on guns. Because Hey! without guns it wouldn't have happened, right? sarc//>>

It says Evansville, so I think it's probably Indiana. You are correct. I have asked the Mod to correct the title. The vidio is so over the top, I suspect that we may be seeing an extortion set up. Lowell1775 wrote an excellent post (#32) on this possibility.
