FAQ sticky

.... Over on the experts board we get the same questions from new posters frequently, like how much is my granddads really old double barrel shotgun worth? Almost always it is a decent, but cheaply produced utility gun sold originally for $10-$12 and today not safe to shoot and worth $100-$200 as a wall hanger. Old does not equal valuable. Several of us try to be gentle in explaining that over and over, but it does get tedious. This is not a condemnation, no one is born an expert and we were all both beginners and newbies, and no doubt somewhere along the line asked some of the same questions. I have often thought an FAQ section would be useful, but GB owns the site and the boards and they will determine what the boards are.

We could do this, with or without admin support (redneck sticky =btt). We could divvy up the research, digging through the archives and making lists of threads on different topics, kind of like an index to the forum.

Remember Ruby Ridge.
Experience is the best teacher and usually charges accordingly.

I used to recruit for the NRA until they sold us down the river (again!) in Heller v. DC. See my auctions (if any) under username henryreilly

IF YOU DON'T LIKE MY RIGHTS - GET OUT OF MY COUNTRY (this includes politicians)
I think as an alternative, I will create form answers as Word files that I can just copy to the reply box.

While you are at it, make a form for "how to get (is it worth getting) an FFL or C&R."
One about shipping long guns vs. pistols.
You know, the FAQ. file. [:D]
I did a form file once about how to post a picture,
but the host kept changing so fast I could not keep up. [:(]
