I bought a new S&W M&P Sport for $565 and a new Rock River LAR for $700 off Gunbroker in the last 30 days. The bottom has fallen out of AR's.

I just bought a new S&W Sport on Gunbroker for $565 plus $35 shipping. No tax just a $35 transfer fee. For the money, the sport can not be beat.

My LCP is a little picky with hollowpoints. If yours turns out be be the same way, try Remington Golden Saber. Mine loves them.

You never know when an old charge might pop up. I did a background check on a customer purchasing a firearm. He was denied. I informed the TICS examiner that there had to be a mistake and to please check it again as this buyer had a Tennessee Handgun permit. She did, then informed me that his handgun permit was being revoked. Turns out he was arrested in California for car theft in 1949. Charges were dropped but the police had never updated the records on the case. Took forever to get his permit back.

I carried one for 20 years. The cylinder finally locked up on it. I returned it to North American for repairs and they sent me a new gun at no charge. Great little guns and unparalled customer servive.

My Crystal ball says:
1. The grand jury will indict him as the grand jury only hears the prosecutors side of the case.
2. The court will then dismiss the case after they find out they have no legal grounds.
3. He will sue the city and police dept for one million dollars.
4. The Tennessee Municipal League will settle with him for around $25,000 just because they will be afraid that they might just get a jury as radical as he is.
That's my prediction.

Oh, I don't see how he's not gonna get out from under the single current charge, but "win"? He's already lost job and FFL, maybe permanently, . hours in the slammer, and time in general over this one. And three bills in bail if he didn't have $3k in a lump handy to plunk down.
His only win would be a big payout in civil suit, and I've give ya some good odds that won't happen.

I think what you are overlooking is the fact that this will be settled by an insurance company, not a jury. A jury would probably rule against him in a civil suit, but the insurance people are afraid to take that chance. They will settle with him for a substancial sum to avoid the small chance that he might win a multimillion dollar judgement. I got sued once and the attorney advised me that it cost $35,000 minimum to try a case in court. If you can settle for that, you settle, even if you have an airtite defense. And in this case the governments insurance company has far from an airtite defense.

IIRC his suppressor is a personal one registered to a trust not to him as an individual or one owned by his FFL because the chief LEO struck language through his original paperwork. It was one of his many frivolous lawsuits. So the tax stamp itself does not prove that its legal for him to possess, just that its registered to a trust. he also has to prove that he is a trustee on that trust. They couldn't even see the tax stamp until after the warrant to open up the case which was several hours after Lenny was arrested.
Edited to add: Hopefully Lenny consulted an attorney and his trust is set up properly, but from his displays of thinking he understands the law better than attorneys that specialize in it i think its likely that he did one of the many DIY NFA trusts out there.
Edited to add more: He may have bit himself in the rear when in court he said he owned the suppressor. If it is in a trust then he is not the "registered owner" the trust is, and he is just a trustee that can possess the property.
I guess that is possible, but I can see no reason for him to have paid a $200 transfer stamp to transfer it to a trust when as a Special Occupational Taxpayer, he can own and use as many suppressors as he wants without paying any transfer tax. He also would not need a chief law enforcement Officers signature to purchase it for his business. When I had a Class 3 license, I never transfered a firearm to myself.When I gave up the license, all machine guns and suppressors left in inventory became my personal property without having to pay $200 each to transfer them.
-
We all know he does this stuff to get attention and they reward him by giving it to him. He is a licensed SOT Class 3 dealer and it is legal for him to possess the suppressor. The registration for the suppressor was wrapped around the suppressor in the gun case. The officers probably should have checked to make sure the rifle was unloaded, checked the registration on the suppressor, then give him a citation for disorderly conduct or something and sent him on his way. They did just what he wanted them to do.

Glock prices seem to be down. I bought three new Glock Generation 3 Model 19's off Gunbroker a couple of weeks ago for $469 each.

Nothing I like better than being told that all white people are racists by a black president that the white people elected twice.

Can you really blame them. Used to be all a criminal had to worry about was a cop happening by a crime and shooting him. Now they have to worry that every potential victim could shoot them. If I were a thug, I would be protesting against Stand You Ground As Well.

I went to look at a foreclosed property that was up for auction last month. A neighbor walked down to the road and inquired as to what I was doing there. I calmly informed him that I was there to look at a piece of property that was for sale. Once he saw that I was there for a legal purpose, he filled me in on all the details of the property and the neighborhood. I did not punch him in the nose or beat his head on the sidewalk. In return, he did not shoot me. We both parted on friendly terms. If Trayvon Martin had been my son, I would have taught him the proper way to interact with others.

The only opinion that is worth a diddly squat is the 6 people on that jury and they have spoken.
-
I agree. A 6'2" young MAN, even if he was only 17 jumped and wanted to fight a 5'7" Porky and teach him a lesson. He got so involved and heated, he didn't want to stop the "lesson" he was gonna teach the "creepy assed Cracker" and went past the line. GM cried for help for 45 seconds before stopping the threat against his life. That is a VERY long time to take the kind of beating GM received.
I think this sums up the situation better than anyone else has explained it. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that this is exactly what happened.

He had plenty of choices, but he chose the easy way out.
It is always easier to pull a trigger that to watch your brains leak out of your ears from pounding your head on the cement.

The Judge will allow for a lesser charge of manslaughter, even though the prosecution has not been able to prove either 2nd murder or manslaughter.. Now they are looking at Child Abuse to file for 3rd degree murder, They are reaching, really bad now..
CHild ABUSE. I must have missed something. I was unaware that Zimmerman had sodomized Martin.
-
Kinda hard to beat someone's head against the grass, pavement or anything else if they are sitting inside a vehicle so, yeah, I think it is safe to say that if he had stayed in his vehicle then chances are that the altercation would not have happened. Even if it had happened, there would certainly be no room to question Zimmerman's actions. "Zimmerman shot Martin after Martin pulled Zimmerman from his vehicle and began beating him," is a whole lot more clear cut than, "Armed man shoots teen after getting out of his vehicle and following the teen on foot."
We would probably all be safer if we stayed in our trucks all the time. That said, I still get out of mine on occasion and I do not want anyone beating my head on the ground if I get out. I will shoot you.

If the jury has any guts then after the not guilty verdict is read they should berate the prosecution, the judge and the State for even bring this farce forward. A good public verbal flogging seems to be in-order.
There may not be a not guilty verdict. The six women on the jury may decide that it would be better to sacrifice one innocent man than to start the looting, rioting, and burning that might cost many more lives. That would not be my decision but it could well be theirs.
-
I know a guy you can sell it to for $600.
Just sayin'. ;)
I would probably sell it for that. I just called the seller and got two more for the same price. Don't know if he has more but the Gunbroker listing number was 349815989. They also have a Davidsons lifetime warranty.

Reno was actually keeping the info and Ashcroft filed a lawsuit to get the records destroyed per current law back in the day, so it is entirely plausible. I don't have a problem with 4473's. If the government actually comes in and take the time to go through each and everyone of those from every dealer, it would take them many years just to process them. You're talking about 3 million a year just in TN spread across no telling how many dealers.
BTW - 4473's by law have to be destroyed within 48 hrs.
Actually 4473's are never destroyed. A dealer must keep them until he closes his business. When he closes his business he must send them to the " ATF OUT of Business Division" where they scan one million documents per day and file them on microflitch for future traces.It is illegal to store them on a computer for a registry but not to scan them and file them for future traces.

I just bought a new Gen 3 model 19 on Gunbroker for $469 plus $19 shipping and $30 transfer fee.

OK folks, seems like I was wrong about my thoughts here. This whole time I thought Zman shot an UNARMED kid. Seems the defense has proven that TM was armed with a deadly weapon.....the SIDEWALK! Now I have to sit back and re-think this whole thing again!
DaveS
The sidewalk is deadly enough for me. If you pound my head on the sidewalk, plan on getting shot..

If you keep the $10K ones sealed in the little plastic bags that the federal reserve ships them in, it is not a problem.
