Those numbers are skewed. In this economy, many weapons were pawned to provide the money to purchase Christmas presents, then redeemed (which requires a Brady check) with Christmas $$$ or maybe a Christmas bonus.
Point here being that ANY firearm redeemed from pawn requires a Brady. I have...
Let's see...more than you can use:
The general rule of thumb is one rifle, one shotgun and one pistol, right?
What if you're going to teach someone else to shoot? Add .22's, rifle and pistol.
Add semi-auto pistols where you have revolvers and vice versa. Double action where you have...
I see that no one got around to mentioning the fact that gun prices are going nowhere but UP.:what:
Here, I think the concept might be layaway. You get to freeze prices as well as guarantee that the guns will be there for you when you are ready for them.
You'll still be saving, but the...
Raymond Chandler was born in Chicago and raised in Nebraska until he was twelve, when his family moved to London. Seven years later, he became a British subject. Although he moved back to San Franciso when he was twenty-four, he remained a British subject until well over sixty, at which time...
Speedgoat is correct.
The $17.50 represents the 17 1/2 hours I (the buyer) have to work at the $1.00/hr minimum wage for 1960 to buy the gun.
This, too, is relative:
When I got home from the Army in 1973, they were having a gas crisis. Seems that gas had gone from 29-31 cents/gal to...
I don't know how things are "relatively" cheaper nowadays.
That $17.50 .45 represented 17 1/2 hours work @ the $1.00/hr minimun wage in 1960.
17 1/2 hours work at the current minimum wage of $8.25/hr will gross you $144.375.
I haven't seen a shootable .45 for TWICE that price in years...
Slang evolves just like its parent language, frequently right alongside.
Novelist Ramond Chandler (think Bogart as Phil Marlowe in The Big Sleep) being British, didn't know any American slang so he invented his own.

Suggest you go to a forum called "Nevada Shooters" and look around.
Most of the members are from Vegas area and should be able to answer your questions.

A couple more things I forgot to mention:
Pawn Shops: I've been doing business with the same pawnbroker for over twenty-five years. He gives me deals on things, not just guns, that are sometimes unreal. Whenever possible, I try to deal with him, but his stock can be limited.
Hours: I...
This thread seems to have boiled down to three areas of complaint:
HOURS: I had won some money gambling and, as is my practice with any significant winnings, I buy something permanent. I had been looking at a used gun at an LGS we'll call Bozo's Guns. I left my home at 10:00 Saturday...
In seperate loading artillery ammunition like the 155mm, the primer doesn't go into the shell (that's the fuze on the nose) or into the canister, because there isn't one.
Powder bags are shoved into the breech as needed after the projectile is seated and the primer goes into a firing lock on...
When I worked for a vending company, I would take plastic bottles of expired soda to the range for reactive targets, My wife loves them, they die so nice and dramatic...jump up in the air and bleed soda everywhere, then lie on the ground gurgling, awaiting your second shot...:evil:

Steely Dan's "With a Gun".
In fact, every other (the odd numbered ones) album in their discography has a song relating to guns.
Then of course, there's that Viet Nam classic, 'Napalm Sticks to Kids". It's a real song, Google it.

As an old M-60 gunner, all I have to say is that I think he spent WAY too long at that first position. That sort of thing just begs for an RPG.
Since I wasn't there for the briefing, I can only assume that these guys are providing suppressive fire so their other element(s) can move.

A word or two about Nevada, since I've lived here for over a quarter-century.
There are really THREE Nevadas, or maybe four. Over 85% of this is BLM land.
South is Vegas. They think they run the state there, and, for the most part, do. The boom is now bust and there's not a whole lot of...
It's a gimmick gun carried by a made-up TV character from the improbable early '60's.
As has been stated, you can do much, much better.

Actually, the OP isn't very far wrong.
