Sort of rhetorical question ('cause I know it's not us), but who are the goofs who don't clean up their trade-ins?
Just picked up a used Ruger LCP first gen. Got it home and found that although it had been very lightly shot, I don't think the original owner had ever cleaned it.
For a gun with virtually no wear, it was filthy.
Now, cleaning an LCP is pretty simple work, but I couldn't help but think, "Why would someone leave a gun in this condition?"
Don't know ... guess I've been shooting so long it's never occurred to me to do anything but give a gun at least a routine cleaning after each use and certainly a thorough cleaning before offering one for sale or trade.
