[Still working on last portion of 4th-of-4 trucks at FFL Store]
Regional police here to unseal gun/ammo-laden truck #2 and supervise arms transfer at 8:30-10pm, last nite. One Class III FFL-consignment/transfer antique 1937 Thompson .45 subgun in shipment. Nice LEO guys. Made new friends. Their families used to shop at my Farm Business.
Very few long guns came off since 6pm last night. Less than 50 Remy 870/1187s, S&W M&P 15s and Mossberg 12ga; that’s it. Less than 200 semi-auto 9mm/.45 pistols & .38/.357 revolvers. Mostly accessories. All ammo was 9mm, .45ACP, .308 NATO, .30-.06, some .22LR, lots of optics. My CTC Green Laser grips for 5” Kimber 1911 not in shipment, are BO’d 4-6 wks.
8:50am and 3 customer cars already waiting in pkg lot. Gonna be nuts around here again today.
Since world is ending *sometime* today, all of this won’t matter, will it? Heh.
Had 2 helper/PT-employees overnite so we got everything logged-in, SKU-priced, tagged and displayed. They knew display routine and locations; that job went quickly. Down to last 2 crates in 4th truck, and we should be done by 10am, when store opens.
Owner & wife coming-in w/ breakfast and coffee. Taking break and then back to finish-up and go home.
Quick shower & shave, Hoppe’s After-Shave, and then out to get Farm chores done. Long 2 days... Yo Ho Ho!
With a threat of regulation/ban, the best place for inventory is in people’s homes rather than in warehouses or shelves, where a ban on sales could suddenly make inventory worthless.
Even if there’s a ban on sales, friends can quietly trade privately among themselves.
You’ve been up all night? Holy Carp! You’re too old for that.
And each of those transactions have been noted, flagged, and stored.
They know who to go after now.
BTTT
Been off the airwaves awhile- you done good, bro!
Even now after the Panic of 2012, one can still find good buys at small rural gunshops on guns and ammo.
I bought some black powder stuff at Christmas and waltzed right thru Cabela’s to the checkout while there were over a hundred nervous types waiting at the gun counter.
I went thru the panic of ‘94, the Y2K panic, and then Americans panicked again in ‘07-’08 when we were concerned Hillary might be elected. I resolved after ‘94 AWB not to get caught pants down again. Contrarians are the turtles that win the race.
FReegards!
