J-BAR #18287 Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 (edited) Our Weekly Trash pickup here is about $200 per year. Private companies, not included on the utility bill. I pay for a year in advance to get a discount. Edited July 23 by J-BAR #18287 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Spade Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 My wife and I are also moving to Missouri. We are both from there and moved to Florida about 8 years ago. We are moving back to be near my aging parents. We will be relocating further north just outside the Kansas City area. I am looking forward to shooting with the clubs down around Branson. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawdog Dago Dom Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 I was asked to help a buddy who is running for state representative at a rodeo in the spring at the county fairgrounds. He had a little booth set up with games for kids so he could chat with parents. My job was to make sure the games were running properly. I wore my SASS rig with pistols, as you can see in the photo. The county sheriff walked by and stopped, looking at my guns/belt. He said, “Damn, I gotta get something like that.” Now that’s a red state. 3 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 1 hour ago, J-BAR #18287 said: I got our utilities bill in the mail today, for June 7 through July 10. It's the highest bill we've had in 18 months. ( It was HOT, used more electricity for AC than usual). Today's bill for water, gas, electricity, and sewer is $344.18 total. All the other bills for the last 18 months were under $300. How does that compare? We run under $240.00 in the summer and $200.00 in winter. 1400 sq/ft all brick single story house. I set the A/C at 70* in the summer, and the heater at 66* in the winter. We have a sewer fee of about $1.05 @ day on our utility bill. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coyote Kid, SASS#54714 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 I'll throw my hat in this discussion. I live on the Lake of the Ozarks in MO. About an hour and a half from Branson. Awesome fishing on this 94 mile long lake with beautiful views. There are 4 SASS clubs within an easy drive and you could shoot every weekend if you want You'll love the price of license plates also. See ya when you get here. Coyote Kid 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we wanted to buy one, we would have had to make arrangements with an Illinois FFL. Interesting story. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still needs to get called in to NICS for non-permit holders. Tennessee would be like this except Tennessee has a few additional restrictions so the NICS check is also a TICS check, and is also run on permit holders (as things may have changed since issuance, like a DUI). https://www.tn.gov/tbi/divisions/cjis-division/firearm-background-checks.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had an issue looking at any firearm. I have bought 3 handguns over the years form various mom and pop stores. Store personnel are always surprised when I have a copy of my TX FFL's license on me. Never had an issue with them shipping a handgun to my FFL in TX. Never have tried to buy anything from a nation wide chain store. Likely it wouldn't go as smoothly. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before obummer they carried a lot of reloading supplies. Now not so much. Osage Thrift in Sedalia is one I always check out. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
