Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. The only thing you can’t do is ignore them

I checked and you have to pay $50 in shipping.  

I'm wondering which states it might be illegal to possess this gun?  California?  Maryland?

Plus of course, depending on your state, you may also have to fork over sales tax.    I wonder if I could convince them to treat it as a $1,000 sale and an $81,000 donation?   I mean, I"ve already mortgaged the house and both cars at this point.

Won't be legal in Massachusetts.  Only the PARA and S&W 1911 (some, not all) are approved in MA as well as the Rock Island and an Auto Ord model......

^ Exactly what I was thinking.
""It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America (with a few legal and official exceptions) from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at a Short Notice on any very interesting Emergency." - George Washington. Letter to Alexander Hamilton, Friday, May 02, 1783

Maybe the best thing would be for a MA resident to have the winning bid.  They can write their check, and donate the gun back so bidders 2,3 and 4 can have another opportunity to play the game as they donate.  The wealthy love playing these games with their friends!  Everyone should attend a fund raising auction to watch the fun some of these people get out of playing this game.  It is like watching us throw $10's and $20's at pulltabs, but with way more zeros.

It will be interesting to hear who wins.  It is even money that it is a foundation or group of people pooling funds to give to the organization.

That's a big "negatory" there Cookie.  A resident of one state, can't take possession of a handgun in another state (some limited exceptions, I think, which don't apply here).   Must be shipped to an FFL in  your state of residence.

Still out the $50, plus the charge by your FFL.   

Of course, to get your FULL VALUE out of the deal you'll need to take several days off for the photo-op and the luncheon, where you can droll over it.

Ya, didn't think about that, just so excited about a new pistol ;D. Guess I'll save those days off.
