Coming up this weekend kids, anyone ever bought a firearm there?
yep...when I was 12 years old. Dad was with me. Saw a guy carrying around a single shot mossberg .22. I asked him if it would "shoot". He pulled out a .22 long. We walked down to the railroad tracks. He said "Aim it toward those trees". I did; it fired.

Moved to Mt. Sterling in 1987...about 20 years later. I learned "those trees" lined a street in a nice neighborhood.

Guess they use to sell livestock and pets in Mt Sterling.
My Pops said when court days ended that vendors would release all the unsold dogs and they would roam the streets.

yep....and even now, people have their dogs get stolen. They are taken to Preston in Bath Co and often sold. If not sold, likely turned loose to roam the countryside.

Speaking of Preston....it's better than Mt S More antiques, guns, yes...dogs, etc...more like it was when I was a kid.

Went to Preston today.
Don't go there looking for a deal on guns they want stupid crazy price for even used guns.
Looking at a Ruger LC9 used was over $400, you can buy a new one for under $300 at Rural King on sale.

Don't know a lot about guns but there's a new gun shop in Mt St. Past Lees Famous Recipe.. I thought his prices were pretty reasonable.

Only ones I saw buying guns was Amish and I thought they was pacifists.
A wagon of them packing heat like it's a Wild West drive by.
