    A question of etiquette: "leave some for the next guy"

    I admire folks who think of others, in any situation. If your wife got a reasonable amount and you don't really need it anyway, there was no harm done leaving some for others. You are not in any way responsible for the actions of others who think hogging it all is fine. Keep on being a nice guy.

    Why is there sales tax on USED firearms?

    Kentucky recently started taxing everything related to a good or service when a transaction occurs. We now pay tax on mechanic's labor, veterinary services, bowling lane rental, you name it. They didn't raise the base rate of 6% just added the tax to nearly everything sold, including internet...

    What do you do with your guns when you're selling your house?

    I have always bought the house I was moving to before I ever listed the one I was selling. There is no reason for anyone to know I own guns, reload, or anything else about my personal life unless I choose to let them.

    Carry permits as a revenue stream?

    Can't help but notice the Apache County in your name. We have property just over the county line in Navajo County. In my heart Az is home, but I'm stuck in Ky for now.

    Hi-Point C9 Experiences

    We own four Hi Points. If you break them in properly they function just like a firearm should. Point, aim, pull trigger, repeat as necessary. The 9mm and 40 handguns shoot well to point of aim, and the 9 and 40 carbines are just plain fun to shoot. If you require a big expenditure to feel...

    Carry permits as a revenue stream?

    So it is basically a shell game and the end loser is always the taxpayer, or in this case, gun owner. I live in now and did live in a Constitutional Carry state and can't imagine living any other way.

    Carry permits as a revenue stream?

    So carry permits are like wedding licenses, car registrations, fishing licenses etc.? It has nothing to do with rights and responsibilities, just making money off the general public and special sub groups, like gun owners?

    Carry permits as a revenue stream?

    I just finished reading an article I will post below that justified continuing carry permits as a valid revenue stream. Really? https://www.wdrb.com/news/ending-indiana-gun-permits-could-cost-police-3-5-million/article_4b25a12e-12e2-5729-be42-55d3b49d23e1.html

    How long does it take to break into a GunVault with hand tools?

    Cat lives in my bedroom with me. Litter box, kitty litter and puppy training pads in plain sight. Now if he looks in the bedside stand, after getting past three good sized dogs, and my wife, he might find something.

    How does one 'forget' about ammo ?

    Funny how that works. Someone asked me about some components so I went to check and decided to try and organize my supplies and finished ammo. Now I have to go buy more cans to hold what I found.

    Bought a couple of boxes of this 9MM ammo today.

    I don't believe I will be buying any ammo soon. 'Course I don't need to. I still have a stock.

    Legal vs Moral

    Kentucky is a Constitutional Carry state which means I don't need a permit to carry on my person. If we are traveling, obviously there will be potty breaks and gas fill ups. How do you avoid stopping in states that are unfriendly to guns, and how do you live with yourself is something bad...

    Legal vs Moral

    I didn't want to hijack the thread about traveling between states with a firearm so I am starting a new one here. I was telling my wife about the thread and mentioned that one of the posters commented that he would lock his gun in the trunk to avoid possibly being arrested and jailed while...

    Traveling through Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee

    So how do you protect yourself or your loved ones with gun locked in the trunk? I have never locked a gun in the trunk for two reasons. I don't have a trunk and an unloaded gun is a poor paperweight.
