Purchaser wasn't charged with anything?

Private gun sales are one of my favorite things about TN.

Even before I moved here I had guns from TN.

Im gonna guess he had those guns for 30 years or more, and doesnt pay attention to gun laws. It never used to be illegal, but politicians do nothing but steal our money and freedom, and use their jackboots to enforce it all.

This guy is jacked up on felony charges while states like KY have "Court Days" festivals where tables full of guns are sold by private vendors (no BGC required for private sales) in a big open-air gun flea market.

The giant, Rt 127 sale comes through once per year. Biggest thing that I look for are gun deals.

Trade cash and other things for guns. I love it.

Comes directly through my town....


Fun fact, this was created in my current town....

The 127 Yard Sale, often called the "World's Longest Yard Sale," was created in 1987 by Mike Walker, the former Fentress County Executive in Jamestown, Tennessee.

Obviously a gun purchaser got into legal trouble, and spilled the beans on the seller.

Probably a felon or DV convicted person.

FtF is not legal in NYS...............protect yourself. I just went thru my FFL/LGS, on consignment, to sell a few on GB. Works well.

The Long arm of the Law reaches into the past, like time travel.

The 127 sale down here. (Sorry, that was an off topic side note between me and one other)

Ahh, yeah, I see. Out of context it seemed potentially a little ominous, so I had to ask. As it turns out, in morbid coincidence, 147 days from now would be march 6th , marking the anniversary of the US dropping the atomic bombs in japan.

Anyway , good luck at the next yard sale. Yeah, there's the seemingly inevitable thread swerve on topics like this. I think because so many members have moved away and now have comparative info. Besides that, what can anyone really say when staying on topic other than "That's Bullshit"

Heck, I remember a time when a minor could go to an auto parts store and by a .22 rifle and ammo without any phone calls, permits, permission slips, ...

Hell, I remember times when what could be accessed (both new or surplus) on the cheap by mail order from an ad in the back of Field and Stream or a Sears and Roebuck sales catalog was amazing.

From what I can find it seems Statistical data would show that the number of gun crimes has dramatically increased over time as big brother instituted more gun controls, gun regulations, and gun prohibitions. Maybe society's problem is not the hardware.

came up to me and asks if I have any guns for sale and kept pestering when I said no, til I said you can't do that anymore in this shit hole, you have to go to a gun shop, loud enough for all to hear. He left.

Off on a tangent: What are your thoughts on Cookeville TN?
Click to expand...


I go there somewhat often.

For me, I do not care for it. Far too busy and congested.

Reminds me too much of the Buffalo suburb area.

Everything one needs is there, just too busy for me.

I am not happy with how much diversity is there either.

I go when I need to, shopping, eating and medical.

Looking at real estate in the area supports your conclusions...I want a small village/town fifteen or twenty miles from such a destination...DIL is a RN and likely would end up working a Hospital, although right now she's a Nurse Supervisor for the School District.
I know real estate has gone stupid, but $350K for a dump isn't exactly encouraging.
