    I was at the gun show at Washington Pa. yesterday and not a whole lot to interest me.  I bought a pound of Unique powder for $50 because my local stores have not had any for ever.  If you are in driving distance and like old guns go to this show nest month. https://ohiocivilwarshow.com/wp/  it is like a history lesson on antique weapons and also for sale.  Free parking and low entrance fee.  I have been going for the last few years and always see guns I have only seen in magazines.  Well worth the trip and an enjoyable day.  Many building full of guns and paraphernalia and sometimes there is a cannon for sale!

     

    A short video of what is there.  https://ohiocivilwarshow.com/wp/portfolio-view/video-format/

    Its gotten to were I don't even know without selling on one of the gun sites, what to ask for a firearm. Been thinking of selling my S&W Model 19-1 with original box and paper work, but the askings and final sales are all over the map. Some excessively over what I would ask.

    I paid $900 for a brand new Model 19 so you can go from there. In good condition it's worth at least $900. That's my guess.

    very interesting question , when did "papers" become the way to ID and qualify a person for anything ? 3why dont we need one as an legal but as a legal person we do ? when i vote in this state i have to provide a drivers license then get checked against a lengthy ledger of previos votinf records , others of dubious origin just walk in and get to vote because someone else of equally dubious origin say "yup" they are legit 

     

    i have my papers including my draft card that i have to carry according to the print on the card 

    It may have started with Social Security cards and also Driver's licenses. My mom, who never drove, had a State issued ID. I don't know when that started maybe in the 50's or 60's?

  3. A lot of times I give my cart with the quarter in it to someone walking up. If not I get my quarter back. I usually only buy a few items so I just carry a canvas bag in there and don't use a cart. It makes the parking lot cleaner and less cluttered and they don;'t have to have an employee out there collecting carts. I think it's a great idea! Their prices are pretty reasonable too.

  4. Good question, I’ve wondered about that in especially in the old west. How did they know who was who? Even a badge that said you were a sheriff or marshal or Texas Ranger wasn’t exactly 100% proof since you could have a fake or stolen badge.

    I have so many Firearms that range from Cartridge guns to Cap & Ball guns.

    Some 1800's 1900's ans 2000 type Firearms. 

    It's some times a long time before I shoot a particular firearm. 

    So I'm going to this year try to make a note book on how each firearm shoots and with what Powder and Ball or Cartridge. 

    So I'm looking for some advice and ideas on how you do it .

    Thank you in advance. 

    Rooster .

    How about a good old notebook and pen?

    There’s a small gun show here this weekend. I’ll just go to see what’s there and something to do. 
     Last time I was there a few months ago I sold an Uberti .357 that I really didn’t need. Lost a few bucks but thats okay.

    Yea they’re pretty all black plastic guns and AR’s etc. There’s one guy that has a boatload of revolvers but he’s way too high!

    Just came back from this debacle! Wow did that suck big time! High prices galore! Small pistol primers $100/1000 r u kidding me??

    At our local Home Depot, they encourage self check out by only having a couple regular registers open. However, I don't see the savings as they now have an employee at each self check register as there is almost always some sort of issue to be resolved, especially with bar codes. The employees could do a much better job running a register instead of having to deal with all the customer issues and just pissing us off.

    My Home Depot has a couple cashiers and only one person dealing with the self serve customers. Seems to go pretty smooth.

    On busy weekends they have a few more cashiers and maybe two self serve employees.

    You're attempting, extremely hard, to make it my fault. But it's not my fault. It's the fault of the jerks that decided that I needed to do their work for them.

     

    And the way to make all those problems go away is to put some cashiers back in the stores.

    Good luck with that, like the stores are really going to listen. There's many more that prefer the self serve than don't. It's obviously a cost saving measure or the stores wouldn't be switching to self serve machines. It's kinda like the old horse and buggy vs the automobile days!:P:lol:
