I don't know what the gun looks like yet. Will get to see it tomorrow evening. That is why I am trying to learn as much about french guns as I can before he shows up. Don't want to be trading my Sig for junk. He wants to trade me a Kel-tech 380 and  a French 32 Caliber and 200.00 for the Sig for his wife to carry. She is packing the Kel-Tec in her purse right now.

I quite giving to people and any charities back many years ago. I am sure there was a few honest people that needed a little change but I never gave it up. Am I mean? Maybe but I have my reasons for being like I am and I see it more everyday and it keeps reminding me of why I don't give. Oh wait, I don't want to lie. I do give 1time each month. I write a check to St Judes every month. But that is it. I even refuse to give blood any longer. Red Cross lost me in October 2001. Never went back there again. If any of you have ever had a son , daughter, or loved one terminally ill and dying and you reach out for help you will learn very quickly that none of these organizations that claim to be there to help you "aren't". All they want is your money!!!!!  I also did give a one time donation to that organization that helped the families of the Fallen Hero's during the shutdown bring their family members home and lay them to rest. Can't even remember the name of it any more. I listen to the news about every evening and not very many days pass that you don't hear about another charity that is caught up in crime and corruption from stealing your hard earned donations for their own personal gain. Example 9/11/2001 the Red Cross located in Nashville had people lined up out the door and down the sidewalk with donors there to give blood. The even brought three of their blood mobiles to the clinic there to assist. That evening after 1000's of units of blood had been collected the following day they were informed that all that blood would not be needed in New York and the red Cross here realized that they did not have enough refrigeration to store all the blood they had collected. At the time there was 57 hospitals in and around Middle Tennessee that had plenty of storage coolers for that life saving blood and many hospitals that learned of the red Cross situation offered to take the blood and store it. Instead of the Red Cross doing the right thing and sending it to the hospitals for good use, they destroyed all they could not keep in coolers at the Red Cross. That decision was and still is totally unacceptable to me. It was determined that more than 2500 units of blood was destroyed rather than sent to area hospitals. That and then a month later the Red Cross Accounting office had misplaced 32 million dollars that had been donated on 9/11/2001 and that same week the head of the Red Cross resigns her position and there was never an investigation into where that money went? Sorry but that kind of put a nasty taste in my mouth with the Red Cross............jmho

Ok. here is what I have found and can anyone pick out the 32 longs from his mess of guns and maybe which ones to avoid?   https://www.google.com/search?q=32+caliber+pistols+made+in+France&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=6BFtU8ulH4nz8AGr3ICwCw&ved=0CDUQsAQ&biw=1024&bih=583#imgdii=_

ok let me show some of my stupidity but does remanufactured mean the same as reloaded or factory reloaded??

Is that an older gun like maybe no longer made but still a few floating around?

I have bought a few guns from folks and some other things from folks here and I always feel good about what I have bought and don't fee like I got ripped by anyone. Great bunch of Benefactors here and I think it might benefit you to be come a benefactor here on the site as I see a lot of things with sold labels on the all the time when i come here.............jmho

i have a gentleman that we swap back and forth with on things. He knows I have that P238 Sig I bought from TGO'er and he wants it and has a French made 32 caliber semi auto. I didn't even know the French were into building guns. He also has  Kel-Tec 380 and he is going to want to wheel and deal on that Sig I have.  I know the Kel-Tec might be 270.00 at most with 1 extra mag depending on condition but I have no clue about this French gun which he also has extra mag for. Can any one say anything positive about a French gun in 32 caliber to give me any idea at all of what it may be worth? Any help would be greatly appreciated.................... :up: :up:

I think there are many times that the parents know that they have a problem child and may be ashamed to admit it and by trying to build that person up what they are really doing is trying to take the blame off of them and putting it on anything other then themselves. People would think more highly of them if they would just admit they had a problem child but they don't look at it that way. Trevon Martin was a problem child and the only reason he was in Florida living with his father it because he got kicked out of school for causing trouble. Yet when he got killed in a clear case of self defense it almost cause a national incident because his family refused to admit he was not the innocent little boy they showed in the pictures from years earlier. I will never understand this type of attitude by people but all my family members know, if they get in trouble from bad self inflicted decisions there is no mercy coming from me for their actions.............jmho   I call it Tough Love!!

One of my grand sons got busted for possession of drugs for Resale 3 weeks ago. He called me to see about getting him an attorney and a bondsman to get him out of jail. He got out of jail after he went up in front of the judge and the judge appointed him a  public defender. I found out he called his father first and his father(my Son) told him the same thing I did. I have spoke with his public defender and the judge in the county because i know them both. This his first arrest and I asked the judge and public defender to negotiate a plea bargain that will keep him out of jail but sentence him to 5 to 10 years and put him on a ten year probation and make it very clear to him that if he even sneezes and breaks a law he does the 5 to 10 for Probation violation. His father and I both told him he was hanging with the wrong people and it went in one ear and out the other. The judge is also going to inform him that he can violate if he is caught up in any crime that he could be guilty by association which would violate his probation. If his father and I cannot keep hm from associating with trash maybe the judge can. I have a policy I live by and have for most of my adult life and that is,  " No mercy for self inflicted injuries" and by not learning by your mistakes and repeating them is self inflicted.............jmho 

Maybe they are more afraid of being run over by a bicycle than they are a car or like stated above they may be from a country that does not have sidewalks. Either way you can't fix Stupid..............jmho

If we are talking love ones in danger the bad guys are going to be dead or dying as fast as humanly possible and no questions asked. That requires little thought and a lot of action on my part. They would not even know I was there with them till I began slinging hot lead in them, back, front or sideways..........jmho

You would think if bond has been set then she has gone before a judge.  If she could not afford a lawyer at that point the court would appoint her a public defender to handle her case and you should be able to find out from the attorney what the actual charges are?.................... :shrug:

My 97 has 148,000 on it. If you ever decide you may want to get rid of your Black Beauty send me a PM? Does it have the 4.0 High Output motor and is it stick or automatic?

I think thats a great looking old Jeep...................... :up: :up: :up:

I spent many a day back years ago playing in the mud but never owned a jeep but you guys are sure making an old man jealous and remembering all the fun I had with my 1977 Dodge Ramcharger Bought it in 1978 used off a GMC truck lot. I had been watching it for about two moths and it was never moved so I stopped in one day and walked into showroom and ask if that Dodge Ramcharger was for sale and  you would have thought I was from another planet by the looks I got. Then this salesman walks up and said yes, it is and I said I would like to hear it run and look it over. The truck has 17,809 miles on it, was Metallic black and perfect interior and started right up and drove perfect. On the way back to the dealership I asked him how much they were asking for it and his reply was make me an offer. I was quiet for a few minutes and he was almost holding his breath in anticipation.  Knowing they were not going to take my offer we had to start somewhere and I said $1,850.00 tax title and license. He said let me talk with the owner when we get back. The owner of the dealership came out and shook hands with me and said you just bought yourself a truck and a nice one at that. Hell, I didn't buy it, I stole it. I couldn't wait to sign the papers before they changed their minds. It was a pure stock Ramcharger with automatic and a/c, smoke tinted windows and I was in heaven. I owned my first 4x4 and had great plans for it. back then I was a dodge guy and I was driving a Lil' Red Dodge Step side at the time. All my buddies had 4X4's and they all had the smaller versions like CJ 5 and CJ 7 and hopped up 304's in them with headers, A few guys had the old Ford Broncos in the smaller versions and 302 Ford hot rod motors. A guy named Lark had a Small Bronco with a 351 Cleveland in it and he was kind of the boss of the club. The club name was the Dixie Mud Hawgs. When I showed up three days later to the meeting everyone was wondering why I was there and I told them i came to join and they all walked outside and looked at my huge what they called Big ugly Black truck. My brother was helping me build a real off road family truck. Didn't change any thing in it's appearance except the wheels and tires and lift. Put 15X35X38 monster mudders with 6 inch life kit in it. Put on a sent of Lock out front hubs which was something not seen on many Chrysler products 4X4's because of cost but my brother had all the connections. We replaced the NP(New Process) 203 Transfer case with a Sontag High Tech G2G ( Gear to Gear) to avoid chain stretch under a real load. Added a set of Detroit Lockers to front and read differentials. had the tranny beefed with all over size power valve body valves and springs with porcelain clutches and an Ed Roth power drive 3000 stall torque converter. And last but not least a 340 6 packDodge power plant under the hood. Sure was glad it came with a 45 gallon gas tank from the factory. By the end of 1979 I was the big dog in the Mud hawgs because i never lost a mud trough meet and never got stuck on any off road rally's and had to be pulled but I did a lot of pulling for guys that did. When I locked everything in to pull go off road top speed was 9 mph but that was up hill, down hill, in mud out of mud 9 mph. On the highway just running it got a whopping 10 MPG on cruise control at 60 MPH. I bought the truck for $1,850.00. Invested another 10 grand in it over the next 2 years. Drove it off and on till 1985 and went to a mud meet in Ashland City at the fairgrounds. Truck had not been off road in two years and was all clean and shinning like a new penny. My boys and I went over to watch the competition. It was two day event. 1st place was $5,000.00 and some guy with a really big mouth from Missouri was leading in the distance traveled in the mud pit and all he did was run his mouth that the hicks from Tennessee didn't have anything for him. I told the boys we would be going back Sunday and I spent most of the night under the Dodge checking everything out. When we got there Sunday he was already running his mouth about his Jeep called White Lightening when i pulled up to the entrance gate and registered to compete. For those of ya'll that don't know the mud trough starts shallow, is about 40 yards long and gets deep quick to about 4 feet of mud which no one had reached yet. I was the last truck to do the trough. Most guys got a running start and hit it fast. I just drove up to the starting line The guy dropped the flag and I drove the complete length of the trough, turned around and drove back and White Lightening was already loading to leave. That day the Dodge went to a new home.  A man walked up to me and said I have been hearing rumors about that truck but never really knew or believed it existed. How much do you want for it. The guy was driving a Chevy pure Stock 85 Blazer. He gave me the Blazer and title and $12,000.00 and I gave him the Dodge and the title. Sold the Blazer to the GMC dealership I bought the Dodge at in 1978. Drove GMC Pick up for 280,000 miles and now I own a 1997 Jeep Cherokee  Sport 4X2.  yep!!! very sorry for the long post but hope ya'll can bear with an old man and what few great memories he has left................ :hiding: :hiding:

Kind of favors a Copperhead if you blow the picture up enough times to get a good look at the head but then I have seen juvenile Rat snakes with same markings. Will need someone more up on snakes but I'm sure that won't take long..... :up:

See there , now we have a DSHS ........................... :rant:

  Well, that answered one of my questions huh?   See, this is were I have my problem. We have far to many letter named operations for me to keep up with.  Ok, we have DHS  ( Department of Homeland Security)  DHS ( Department of Human Services)  DPS (Department of Safety)  DHHS (Department of Health and Human Services) And the list of alphabet is never ending and every day in the news you hear they are starting up another one to oversee the other one that started two years ago because they think it is corrupt..............Believe me I open every piece of mail I get now and even go though those catalogs of junk mail that fills your mail box to make sure the mail man didn't hide one in there........................ :shrug: :shrug: 

Yep Choir boy and alter boy at the local church and straight A honor roll student and all around good boy that every one liked. I bet the folks in the WH didn't like him and we know for sure one didn't. In all honesty God Willing the second one would not have got away either if it were me and within my power to prevent him from getting away. They say never point your gun at someone if your not going to shoot them and according to the news video he had his gun pointed at the guy and was trying hold him there but the guy escaped. A hunk of hot lead would have kept him there.................jmho

I do agree with you Spiffy but with my situation it's just me and my old dog and if I come home and find someone in my house or if someone comes in my door uninvited they will learn just how unsociable I can become real quick. Back in the old west I think they played a game called Lets see you dance and they began shooting near the persons feet. With the cost of ammo today my game is called Dodge the Red Hot Lead if you can!!! I have a lot of friends come and go from my house about every day placing bait orders or picking up baits and I don't keep my storm door locked and every one of them knows the code words to yell when they open the door if I am in the bait room and can't hear a knock. They don't come in till I holler back either. A lot of guys call me while parked in my driveway to let me know they are coming in. Wrong pass word and it could get ugly. Most of the ones that call me forgot what it is so they call............. :up: :up:

Well I just wonder why they are involved in state business. If you have a carry permit then of course you own a firearm. Seems to me that would be just like a registration of firearms in a round about way. If that is the case then they know of at least 300,000 + people who own firearms in Tennessee. And you can bet they know if you own 1 you own more...........jmho

I don't think they are aggressive towards humans but he may have thought you were another Male owl that invaded his turf and he was gonna run it off. Many animals in nature are very territorial and will fight to protect their turf and hunting areas...........jmho   Yes they can look intimidating especially when they have their wings expanded cause it makes them look much bigger than they really are.

yea, I have been thinking in the back of my mind since i renewed mine this last time. Why is the Department of Homeland Security even involved in a state issued permit? Does that mean when my drivers license comes due again I will get a letter from Department of Homeland Security  for that also. It seems every time I turn around they are in more and more of peoples personal lives or is it just me being paranoid??????................ :shrug: :shrug:

Well the Robins left the next morning after my last post and I was right Momma and Daddy are busy. I have been continuing to put out meal worms and crickets and they will collect a beak full and head for a tree and come right back for more. I won't be buying any more. They left the morning after I just stocked up......... :up:

Yep, could have been very much worse and if there is a next time you can bet he will not hesitate to do business and deal with the questions when the smoke clears. They do have a few leads on the bad guys. Their last known address is up in Frankin, Kentucky but chances of them being there probably slim to none. That same van has been used in several other home invasions so either they are very brave or very stupid but either way sooner or that van is going to be spotted during a break in and someone will most likely get shot and maybe killed. Lets hope it's a bad guy or two that needs lead removed........jmho
