Yessir. About 20 miles SE of destin. Joint venture between okaloosa, bay county, and the CCA.

This is the heart of a Blue whale. Weighing in excess of 1,300 lbs (±600 kg), it is the size of a small car. The gigantic heart beats 8-10 times per minute, and each heartbeat can be heard from over 2 miles (3.2 km) away.

I think they name rifles and handguns by throwing random words in a hat. Then they draw one or if an expensive item they pick two or 4 out. Think about it next time you see something for sale.

ALSO, PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT....
Do not drink the Fireball sold in the gas station. It's made with malt liquor. Yuck. Gives ya indigestion and makes a steel drum band in your head the next day. You have been warned!! Pay attention.

So I just picked up a dagger g19 size. Somehow it's like night and day vs the G19. I think lightning may hit me...run!
It's strange, must be the grip or angle or both. Yall need to try one.

But how many murders

 

[Rebel_Rider1969]

What's the deal with " pre ban" guns for sale?? Aren't they all now?? Maybe I'm dense or something.

 

[ABlaster]

The only thing I can think of is if guns made that were under the ban (like my brother’s AR with a pinned/welded muzzle brake and the bayonet lug cut off) cannot be modified to a current configuration.

That’s really reaching though.

But how many murders

My thoughts exactly.

So when you decide to stop hunting at whatever age and health, how do you work up the courage to sell your last 6.8 and 7.62 rifles, 12 and 20 gauge shotguns, hand guns and ammo? Then all the supplies, parts and pieces? It is killing me even though I know I need to do it. A garage/estate sale, a table at a gun show 1 time? So much hunting stuff it is hard to get it all together and even take somewhere. This is serious and depressing for me.

Yeah. That stinks. Probably be best to do a table at the up coming show in March. Split a table with a friend, hang out and visit. Blow it all out in one lick. Might be the best and busiest table there!

I’m sorry to hear this is on the horizon for you. Maybe reach out to friends/family and offer them first choice at some good prices knowing that you are doing them a solid even though not making the max amount of money as you would if selling to strangers. I routinely take a loss so as not to have to deal with strangers and the b/s that comes with it and also because I want my friends/family to get the benefit of a good deal- I guess it all depends upon ones particular circumstances (finances, goals, etc)

 

[Rebel_Rider1969]

Man, I hope my bride gets a buck. She's a bit difficult to live with right now. I feel like crap cause I blasted 2 so far. She planted the plots by hand and has been feeding em. Dang deer. I even offered to let her sit my spot, nope... :-(

The sad thing is I have no family, friends are dying off and It is difficult to get around to a show. I have never needed the money but refuse to give away thing I gave good money for. I always offer things to this forum first, so I guess I need to make a list for posting, tried to do that with the clothes and other items in another post and only 1 response.

Mine will have to go to the kids/family. I can't bear the thought of parting with them to a stranger.
