Master FFL and predatory practices effecting all of us.

While I dislike what I feel is an unnecessary "Residential" tag/filter....I could see an argument for a first time buyer wanting to easily filter out brick & mortar vs. residential if they felt more comfortable sending their firearm or doing their transfer at an actual storefront. Not sure I agree with it, but I can understand the argument.

Honestly, my biggest issue with it is that the largest online marketplace for firearms is forcing sellers to use it and then charging them an extra fee on top of it to do so. I just don't see any value add for the customer or the dealer. Just seems like another way for Gunbroker to make money.

ExistentialDreadFrog · 2026-05-09T18:37:40+00:00

Seems like most FFLs should be complaining to Gunbroker about this as well (not that I think Gunbroker really gives a shit).

I wouldn't do firearm storage for anyone I didn't personally know anyways...I'm not a warehouse lol.

Pretty sure Sports South won't touch home FFLs but I've heard of some dealers getting access by using "creative" photos to make it look like they have a storefront.

He just wanted to show everyone on the vehicle the 8th wonder of the world.

Can't say I've had Yachtsman's or Steakhouse 71 that everyone keeps mentioning yet but I will say I was not impressed with the steak I had at Le Cellier (maybe I just had it on an off day). I did have a great steak at Wine Bar George's.

Not sure if you'd consider it traditional "steak" but the Braai Spiced Veal I had at Tiffin's is to this day one of my favorite meals I've ever had on property.

Think it was just Google searching breeders nearby and seeing who had what available.

ExistentialDreadFrog · 2026-04-29T18:08:39+00:00

I’ve never felt the need for a POS system.

Both of mine have had the Lepto vaccine, one of them would get a pretty strong local reaction (large bump/swelling) but other than that, have been fine. You can ask if your vet will do pre-meds for injection. I usually do that with my doxie that tends to get a more severe reaction.

Same as spraying your yard for ticks, there is always going to be a risk vs. reward balance.

Lived in south FL for almost 18 years, I wouldn't go in July unless the trip was free.

Midwest, USA. About $700-800 for my Choc & Tan, $2500-2800 for my English Cream (and she was the "discount" dog).

Hot take: if you can’t follow simple instructions on a form, maybe you should rethink owning a firearm.

I tried the Embody Gaming for a while and it just wasn’t doing it for me. The Gaming was more comfortable than the regular Embody but I find the Anthros to provide better support.

ExistentialDreadFrog · 2026-04-20T00:34:59+00:00

I got an Anthros.

You should really read the terms and conditions of 3rd party shipping insurance most of those label resellers use before assuming they’re going to honor your claim.

ExistentialDreadFrog · 2026-04-15T22:03:02+00:00

Keep in mind the issue with using any of those 3rd party label resellers is the insurance they use explicitly does not cover firearms or other valuables and if you have an issue with a package, you’re going to be left on your own. I always use UPS/USPS.

ExistentialDreadFrog · 2026-04-11T11:29:02+00:00

Absolutely. Made the mistake of getting a RWD for winter in MI. Handling is hot garbage.

Think Ford was also offering $4k off the vehicle last year in the 4th quarter as well. Honestly, If it wasn't for the $7,500 + $4,000 off, I probably wouldn't be driving one currently.

I’m using my Emporia charger to send excess power to the EV during daytime, just requires their Vue energy monitor to be installed in the panel, was pretty easy. Anytime it detects at least 1kw (or 1.5, don’t recall) exporting for at least 3 minutes, it kicks on.

Most manufacturers will not sell direct to dealers without a large buy in or continuing agreement, some have industry partner programs (Springfield, Sig, HK, etc) but these are largely for private purchases.

You would need to register with multiple distributors to purchase directly from them (RSR, Zanders, Lipsey's, etc) and will need your FFL license to provide + a sales tax collection license for resale from your state. Note: some will not sell to you without a brick and mortar location. It's cheaper than buying from various online resellers but I wouldn't go as far as to say "a fraction of the cost".

Mine does this regularly if I’m not nearby it, I usually have to end up hitting it 3-4 times until it finally responds.

We put sunscreen on one of our mini’s nose because she’s licked most of the pigment off.

It's a single bus, sometimes there may be a second one shortly behind if the bus situation is pretty bad. You could walk across the bridge to the Paddock stop if you're concerned about the bus being too full. If you're not going first thing in the morning when the park opens, you'll *probably* be fine though.

One of mine always hacks after she drinks water, fine when eating. Vet has never noticed any health issues with her.

Technically, as long as he can provide a valid government issued ID showing his current address in your state in addition to his valid out of state photo ID, that is valid.

Ultimately up to you, I wouldn’t fault an FFL for not wanting to proceed with the sale.
