I love Fear

Had a simi retired gentleman, whot works for me, come in early this morning....had a box that was wrapped in a towel....a Star BKS 9MM that was unfired.To make a story short, he bought it from a coworker when he was
driving a beer truck in Chicago....did not register it then...this was mid 70's.
He was scared to keep it and wanted it out of house!
I asked repeatedly if he was sure he wanted to get rid of it....he started out at $50..not being a true bad guy, I shoved a $100 in his pocket and said shut up.He left estatic and I gotta figure out what I'm gonna do with this thing.

You did a good thing

Here in Schnecksville we have the three S rule. Shoot, shovel and shut up. In this case, I would have short term memory loss. All the best...

It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004

my brother in law called me and asked if I knew anyone who wanted to buy a Redhawk. Guy at work was interested so I picked it up.
He said "Careful, its loaded" as he handed me the box !!!!!!!!!!!!

Seems he bought it new, loaded it, and took it out behind the barn to sight in. Pulled the trigger one time and it scared him so much he put it back in the box.

The guy at work never had a chance at it. Its in my safe and has served me well
