I gave up on the notion since it seems that anyone who's legit will keep records on the sale. In that case you are only one or two degrees of separation away from being identified.

And BTW, I don't blame anyone for keeping records. I might do the same since the "decent guy" I sell it to could sell it to a schmuck who gets it stolen and doesn't report it. Then a trace comes to me first.
I buy (and have for years) quite a few private sales guns. Sometime with a BoS and sometimes without. I rarely sell a gun except back to the person from whom I purchased it...to me they are like land, buy whenever you can and sell only when you absolutely must (though I have had the same bad luck as many I meet online with boating mishaps).

It is known at the gun club and among some folks in town that I will usually buy a decent gun at a little more than one can get from the pawn shop and allow a person to buy it back within 90 days for about 10% more than I paid. All perfectly legal here and hasn't caused a problem in the 20 years I have been doing it.

As far as the OP's question...I don't really have a favorite SHTF gun and have trouble imagining a scenario where I would have to choose only one. I will assume we are speaking of a long gun...since my G19 is as much a part of my wardrobe as shoes are (and I have tender feet). It still comes down to scenario though on long gun. If I am in stationary defense and for some reason must choose one, it would probably be the Saiga 12 for pure power and assortment of amo. If I must take off in the woods carrying my ammo, it would most likely be the Saiga .223/5.56. My emergency, always in the car, get me back to my guns weapon is a Kel-tec Sub2000 folding carbine in 9MM that lives in a laptop case in my car with mags that are capable of sharing with the G19. ]]> Firearms PaxMentis http://www.survivalmonkey.com/forum/firearms/14505-shtf-gun-whats-your-ideal-gun.html E-book Reader http://www.survivalmonkey.com/forum/reading-room/20024-e-book-reader.html Fri, 03 Sep 2010 15:46:16 GMT iPad,I really like the features iPad,I really like the features ]]> Reading Room vegasrandall http://www.survivalmonkey.com/forum/reading-room/20024-e-book-reader.html <![CDATA[Well, it's about time, 'Wolf!!]]> http://www.survivalmonkey.com/forum/general-survival/21353-well-its-about-time-wolf.html Fri, 03 Sep 2010 14:28:28 GMT I am also trying my hand at canning, and pickling did a jar of peppers and one of okra. we will see I am also trying my hand at canning, and pickling did a jar of peppers and one of okra.

They are not cheap. The second firearm I owned was one of these. Gun Broker has several to choose from.

interesting post,
I would just like to add that love does not mean allowing yourself to be a victim to others. In fact I would argue that you must practice primary self care so that you are able to love others.
and compassion does not mean placing others before yourself, primary responders know that you must first of all ensure your own safety so that you are able to offer assitance to others

Even the biblical statement of doing unto others as you would do unto yourself can be interpreted to mean look after yourself first, then others.

But I agree, we ( read I) need to have more compassion for others. It is a timely reminder that compassion is a choice than can be made on a daily basis out of love


Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
Twas grace my fears relieved.
[applaud]Very eloquently said. That is the direction we were trying to go in with this post. Thanks for completing our thought!

That's the kind of spirit we are looking for in people to join our community.
