Sold a Marlin Camp Carbine 9mm I had bought for the wife early in our marriage back in the 80s, as protection for when I was gone on business. She said it was too heavy (she was a waif of a girl at the time) so I got her a S&W 4” .38 special revolver instead (which I also regret selling).

Still have the wife though.

Further reinforcement of my approach...

The Westchester, N.Y., newspaper that created a national stir in the wake of the Sandy Hook massacre by publishing an interactive map showing where the owners of pistol permits lived, is suing a county government that has refused to give out information about who in the area has such a permit.Oct 4, 2013

New York paper that published gun-owners map sues county ... https://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Justice/2013/1004/New-York-paper-that-published-gun-owners-map-sues-county-for-names#:~:text=The%20Westchester%2C%20N.Y.%2C%20newspaper%20that,area%20has%20such%20a%20permit.

I try not to sell guns, preferring to trade so I've still gotten a gun out of the deal.

S&W Model 32 in 38 S&W (Not 38 Special). So small I could palm it and walk through a room with it. Could only get Lead Round Nose ammo, no stopping power. Shot like it had a 10 inch barrel instead of inch and a half.

Charles Daly 16ga side by side made by JP Sauer circa 1906. In great shape, very clean, original bores (no honing), weighed 5lb 12oz. A very plain Sauer with ‘Made In Prussia’ stamps on the action flats.

I have literally owned hundreds of gun in my life. Top four I regret letting go:
1) Mint .310 Greener Cadet out of India, like new.
2) Win. Pre-war M-70 30-06 SN X6069, Canjar single set trigger, Griffin & Howe dual side lever low rings, Lyman 4X scope, five into .477 at 100 yrds.
3) Excellent ++ SMLE NO.3 MK V 1922-1924 trials rifle.
4) Springfield M1922 II b, sn 9X6. Excellent +, Accuracy was phenomenal. 10 shots into .326 inch at 50 yards.
I cry.

I feel your pain. My Python didn’t have interchangeable barrels, and it wasn’t mint, but I miss that more than any other gun I’ve sold.

“Ruger GP100, stainless 6” barrel with worked trigger.”

Awesome handgun. A $40 trigger job on a GP-100 and it is ever bit as good as a S&W 686 but I much prefer the feel of the Ruger in my hand. It is a very manly gun. However I prefer the 4” barrel but that’s just nitpicking.

Never WILLINGLY sold any that I miss. But I did pick up a cherry Browning Hi Power and PPK while stationed in Germany in the 60's. However, thanks to the GCA 1968 they wouldn't let me bring them back to the CONUS. Had to sell them. Everyday at least once I curse the politicians who voted for that bill and that

BASTARD

LBJ for signing it!

That is exactly what mine was. There wasn’t a blemish on it.

i’m on the list anyway, but i trust our CC, and she is NEVER going to give up anything without a fight, we are NOT a RAT county and a carry permit is the default issue

i also carry a “Purchase Permit” that to the best of my knowledge all other counties forbid the practice of

the Sheriffs office even said in the paper they will NOT be checking mag-counts for the stooopid magazine bill

this isn’t city life
