    Keeping your cool

    Just read one of the posts and viewed the video of a person being harassed, threatened, and arrested by an unprofessional police officer. It went on for several minutes and the person receiving the treatment handled it well in my opinion. Do any of wonder if you'd be able to keep your cool in...

    how much gold

    Many years ago I bought a Winchester Limited Edition 11 30/30. If I recall, it is supposed to have a 24kt gold plated receiver. I'm curious how much gold this would actually be, and if the rifle may be worth considerably more now. There were 1500 made.

    Wonder if I messed up....

    I have a CCP. I have purchased 7 handguns through the years at a local gun shop. Several more rifles in the same State from gun dealers. If push comes to shove, looks like someone will be knocking at my door since there must be records of what I have and that I have a CCP.

    My Father gave me a Browning Auto 5 made in Belgium and the serial # is OM-06178. Curious how old it is, and possible value. Not being an expert by any means...I'd imagine its about 85% condition cosmetically, but always taken care of inside. Thanks to all, Steve
