Default What Happened to The Parker .410 At Auction post ?

Here we go again ! ... This is ONLY MY OPINION , so take it for what it's costing you ...

Deleting a post that announces the availability of a Parker .410 at some gun auction is at best, a big overreaction ...

I'm sure that whoever posted the announcement didn't intend to break the rules governing this PGCA website ... He was only trying to HELP the PGCA membership locate a highly coveted Parker .410 ...

How in God's name can the announcement some gun auction be interpreted as the offering of a gun for sale by anyone ? ...

As members of the PGCA, we're told that the BOD of the PGCA fears that the ATF and or the FBI will will come down on the PGCA for offering guns for sale without an Federal Firearms License ...

Well, IN MY HUMBLE OPINION, the BOD of the PGCA probably wouldn't, interpret the announcement of some gun auction as the PGCA offering guns for sale without an FFL ...

And I'd bet the farm that EVEN the ATF and the FBI certainly wouldn't interpret the announcement of a some gun auction as the offering guns for sale by the PGCA either !

Unless, of course, the Obama Tribe has declared Marshall Law or has repealed our God given, First Amendment right of free speech while nobody was looking ! ...

So why in God's name was the post announcing a Parker 410 at some gun auction removed from the PGCA website ?

I asked John in advance if it was OK to post the notice about the 410...but after it was up a couple of days and had zero replies, comments....I figured I must have offended the group so I pulled it off. Check Charlton Hall Galleries.
December auction.

Kent ... I don't think anyone was "offended" ...We've been trying to get the PGCA Board of Directors to allow gun sales on this website (PGCA members only)for a long time ... But, so far, the PGCA Board has stuck to it's guns ... In spite of the fact that, like the PGCA, any number of big websites like Guns America and Guns International DON'T HAVE Federal Firearms Licenses either !

Hi Kent!!

I think the reason folks didn't answer your post is because they didn't want others to notice it, so we had the "inside line" on the bidding But now you've done it - I'll be bidding against at least Jim and Bruce..

Dang...

Seriously - there is no problem at all posting up firearm at auctions and such, as I mentioned in my PM to you when you asked me if it was OK...

Kent - my best to you!

Bruce - I don't think you have to bow out, as my maximum bid is less than my shoe size, for I'm saving up for a DH 20GA with 24" barrels, round knob grip, etc.. - but I'm unable to divulge who the present owner is....

John, I am sure a certain USAF Col (Ret'd?) might appreciate that fact- that has to be a very rare 20 bore with original 24" factory barrels- special order perhaps- I recently bought another older quality American Boxlock 20 gauge- with 26" barrels- 6 lbs. DT- beautiful balance- but I can't imagine anything shorter- on my 12's 28" is the minimum--wonder if Parker also produced any 28 and or .410 bores with factory order 24" barrels? And the supposed 28 gauge Trojans that Peter Johnson mentioned- any way of knowing if any of those scarce Parkers might have that 24" barrel length???

Not a Parker but it has 24" barrels and weights 4 1/2 lbs. Shot my first double on Grouse with it.
