I was told by my dad, that when he was a kid, that the hardware store where he went in EAST CHICAGO INDIANA sold full auto thompson machine guns off a rack behind counter.I asked him who would really buy one and for what purpose ? He told me mostly farmers were buying them for , get this, RAT EXTERMINATION on the farms. MAN, THE GOOD OLD DAYS LOL.

Well, can we get it back?

Which do you want more, that or lifetime LTCH?

Years ago I got my License first then bought my first handgun. Walked in to a now defunct LGS and walking out with my first handgun.
Also my Marlin 60 was bought from K-Mart for grand total of $95.
Ah the good old days....

Preferably, both. Realistically, LT carry.

I used to go to the neighborhood grocery store and buy cigarettes for my dad, I was maybe 6,7 years old.

It is my understanding Michigan and Ohio also have the NICS exemption for license holders.

As a former resident I can tell you there is no exemption in Ohio.

That may have been the case when you resided there. However this link https://www.shootingillustrated.com...-ag-announces-nics-exemption-for-chl-holders/ among others on the web state that to no longer be true.

Because it used to be that you could have a four year IN LTCH back in the day, and get convicted of a Felony, and have that lil pink card in your pocket supposedly until ISP caught up with you via revoking letter, and fraudulently fill out a Federal FM 4473, and walk out of the LGS with said GUN. They fixed that and now you look interested and peruse the other stuff in the store while you wait, and wait, and wait, for them to GET ER DONE.

I got my Model 60 at a K-Mart as well, but for $109, but a canvas sleeve and Tasco scope were included!
