[Still Thinking]

I was dumping some crappy .22’s at a “buy-back” in NY state and an old gal walked in with a perfect condition M-1 in it’s original “U.S.” tan canvas case. The officer told her to take it to a gun shop and not to take less than $500 for it.

Kudos to the officer for not being a hoplophobic drone or accepting the turn-in and keeping it himself. An actual public servant. Hats off.

It did restore my faith in cops. Of course, he was an old-timer and didn’t appear like the new SWAT Team (all ‘civilians’ are the enemy) type.

Seriously, I’d have paid the old gal $500 in a heartbeat. The rifle was pristine WW2 era.
