Are you the "Gun Guy"?

You know, the guy people come to with their gun questions. To a certain extent, I am with coworkers. One of them gave me a gallon freezer bag of "bullets" the other day. Their dad's guns for all these were sold a while back, but while the shop was happy to pay about 50 cents on the dollar, they passed on the bullets. (I explained that ammunition can't be resold) So now I'm the proud owner of 9rnds of .44Mag, 7rnds .38spl, 1 20ga shell, 1 .410 shell, 5rnds of .25ACP, 30rnds .45ACP, 16rnds .30-06, 10rnds .30-06 Accelerators, 38rnds 22WMR,37rnds .22LR, 21rnds 7.62X39, 21rnds of .303 Savage, and last but not least, 41rnds of .300H&H Mag. I can use all but the last three calibers. I could buy guns for them, but that seems a bit drastic.

Since the post-Sandy Hook buying craze has hit, I have bought more firearms in a short period of time than I have for years. It seems like everyone at work wants to sell their "old" firearms in order to buy one of the soon-to-be-banned, overpriced firearms. And they are selling them at VERY good prices. They just come up to me and ask if I want to buy their old gun. I just ask them to state a price and usually it is low. Interestingly, all are handguns. No one has approached me to buy a rifle.

I have picked up a CZ-75 Compact with extra magazines, a Ruger target semi-auto .22LR, a Ruger GP-100 .357 Magnum, two matched Ruger new-model Vaquero's in .45LC, and a black powder 1858 Remington replica in the last 6 months.

No one has been selling ammunition, but I reload for everything I have. And cast bullets for most of them.

300 H&H ? Time to buy or build a rifle!!!!

Wanna sell those rounds? Not interested if reloads, but be happy to take 'em of your hands otherwise!

Sorry Tony. One of my supervisors shoots a .300H&H so he has dibs.

I keep a low profile with guns

There are so many small minded people in my area who believe that anyone with a gun is a stick of dynamite, waiting for an excuse to go off. Having one gun might be okay, but if you have multiple guns, you're definitely a "nut".

A nice haul! I think someone here shoots .303 Savage...

...I know with a .303 Savage is Rob Applegate, and he considers it just about right as a "coyote gun".
