    How legit are places like gunbroker.com

    Ask your LGS about transfer fees, etc. Here in WA we also pay sales tax on the purchase price when he does the transfer. Small shops are also more willing to order one in from their distributor without charging extra.

    CHL & Facial Recognition

    Facial recognition technology already has access to your drivers license photo as well as any other "official" photo that has been taken of you, I expect its just a picture for your CHL.

    Will cheap .22lr ever come back?

    Yesterday my local wally world had CCI mini-mag @$7.47/100 and CCi 50rd boxes @ $2.19. It's the 3rd or 4th time I've seen them there in the last few weeks, so it is coming back. I didn't buy any, I have plenty.

    What percent of the guns you bought do you still have?

    About 75%. The only one I don't regret selling is the RG 44 mag I bought at a gun show in the late 70s.

    Which gun for groomsmen?

    Interstate transfer Don't forget the part where 2 groomsmen are coming from out of state. That makes transfer of firearms to them more complicated. You have to find a FFL near their homes, ship them and have them transferred. The black powder pistol, knife, or air gun options get around that.

    Picked up the New Englander 54.

    Unbreakable ramrod Even worse than the lost back up shot is the potential injury. If the rod breaks you can spear your hand or arm.

    Black powder doe Washington, late muzzleloader season. I was working my way up a ridge, as I came up on a bush a doe stood up on the other side of it, all of 10 feet away. She didn't even take a step.

    Is my US property 1917 S&W 45 junk?

    Not! I bought mine about 30 years ago at a gun show, from the guy who got it out of a bulk bin at Montgomery Wards about 1965. He had a ventilated rib and adjustible sights installed, so killed any collector value. He said 185gr semi-wadcutters gave the best accuracy so thats mostly what I've...
