Great deal on a 10/22 Almost

[GunnyUSMC]

I stopped in at one of the local pawn shops to pick up some AR lowers I had ordered. While I was there I had a look around. There was a Ruger 10/22 sitting on the rack marked $139.95. It was in pretty good shape but missing the magazine.
I asked my buddy, Mike, that runs the shop if he could make me a better deal. He said it was marked at a pretty good price but would let me have it for $120 out the door. I countered his offer with $110. He came back with, $100 plus tax would be $110.50. I said deal.



Well I had a few earns to do before I made it home, but made it there about an hour later. As I was taking the 10/22 out of my car, my cell started ringing. It was my buddy Mike from the pawn shop. Mike said that the lady that had lost the rifle on pawn was at the shop, and that she was very upset and almost in tears. The 10/22 had belonged to her father. I stopped Mike and told him that I would bring the rifle back after work tomorrow before he asked. Mike thanked me and said that he would let the lady know that he would have her rifle back.
I could just keep the rifle, but I already have six 10/22s. Plus Mike will give me a great on something else.

Well played, Gunny.

Wow a pawnbroker with a heart.

You just don't see that much anymore.

And that was a very cool decision on your part Gunny.

Nice story. But the sales tax caught my attention. 10.5%?

Louisiana can't possibly charge higher sales tax than California.

[billped]

It's up to 12%.

[desertjosh]

Damn 12%?

Our new governor, an Oboma supporter raised the state tax by 1% right after getting in office. That put the state tax at 10%. The city I live in has another 1/2% tax. But we all know that the more taxes we pay, the better off our lives will be.
I had plans for this little gun. I have a nice green laminate sporter stock that I have been wanting to use. I was going to buy one of Ruger's new trigger groups and a new bull barrel.
But it's better to do the right thing and let the lady get her gun back. I know that I will find another good deal down the road.

Good for you Gunny. Great display of caring.

You do a good deed and good Karma will follow you. I will bet a better deal will find you in the future.
Now I have to know. You can buy a rifle and walk out of the pawn with it the same day?? Damm, you already have good Karma.

Good Karma Gunny, some other better deal will be your reward!
