Good, I'm glad. I can buy a gun from a shop here in northern Tennessee, yet I can't travel 15 miles to Scottsville Kentucky and buy the same gun even though I have to fill out the exact same 4473. My lack of a criminal record doesn't change because of locality.

    6. The Co-op used to have a big display cabinet up front with a bunch of ammo. I have not looked in a while because I usually go straight to the Stihl aisle or to the counter to ask for special order parts (and buy some garden plants in the spring).

  4. It will be interesting to see how rabidly the “new leadership” defends this nonsense.
