I’m almost at my wit’s end trying to locate several firearms for disabled shooters who live in areas where they feel threatened by dangers such as home invasion, etc.  Some feel at risk when going down the street in wheelchairs, on crutches, or using another mobility aid, because gang-bangers regard them as feeble – easy prey.  Trouble is, on disability income (often no more than a few hundred dollars per month) they can’t afford to buy new or high-quality firearms for self-defense.

Time was I could find old revolvers (decent ones such as Smith & Wesson police department trade-in Model 10‘s and more modern versions such as the Model 15,Model 64, etc.) for $150-$200.  Not any more.  The diminishing supply of police trade-in revolvers, and increasing demand for low-cost home defense weapons, has meant that finding such deals is now a matter of luck alone.

Do you have an old thing way in the back of your safe that you have not shot since back when they used to give you a brick of .22LR with a purchase of a Big Mac? Maybe your first gun that it is not so cool anymore but was the only thing you could afford?

I’d be grateful if those of my readers who care about such things would please keep their eyes peeled for older, usable-condition pistols, revolvers and shotguns at low prices.  I know everyone wants them, but if you spot something like an old single-shot shotgun, or old Ruger P-series pistol, or an equivalent weapon at a price along the lines discussed above, PLEASE e-mail me!  (My address is in my blog profile.)

And I am guessing but I figure that even a couple of bucks thrown his way to at least pay for the FFL & other expenses will be a good thing.
