It seems like yesterday that the Sears in the Castleton Square Mall had a really nice firearm department. Those were the days...

Why is it that WE have to always turn the other cheek and loose just one small thing, BUT never get anything in return?

I wish I had a picture of the catalog.
I visited an historic recreation of an old town in St. Augustine, Florida that included a general store.
They had a period Sears catalog on the counter for browsing.
I found an ad for a revolver. The ad listed the makers promotions, then included a disclaimer from the Sears catalog editors!

They actually recommended that you NOT purchase this handgun, because it was their opinion that it was inferior quality and unsafe to shoot!

They would sell it to you, but they advised against it!
