Renting it out is a dumb idea, someone would fire it, or damage it or even "loose it."

[@sunbeam8866]

Decades ago, my great aunt & uncle owned a tavern & boarding-house in rural PA. At one time, one of her boarders was short on cash and gave her a Walther P38 as payment. Many years later, one of her nephews borrowed the pistol, and somehow, he managed to "lose it". Fortunately, the nephew was nice enough to replace it with a brand new, shiny, chrome-plated Raven! :(

[@angelogandolfo4174]

@@nolanmuxworthy3450 True. I’m not a “conspiracy nut” but, i have watched, read and researched Tons on the jfk case. Mainly because for something SO hi profile, it remains unsolved, which is crazy. Anyway, several in-depth, serious documentaries, and other investigations by (supposedly) people that who really know their stuff, about 4 or 5 (at least) independent investigations (by either single investigators or people with entire small Teams of guys working), ALL concluded (so, not just talking like, one unheard-of dude, with crazy ideas and a tinfoil hat) that most likely, after thorough investigation: One Secret Service agent sat in the car behind Kennedy’s, when he realised a serious incident was occurring, drew a weapon from a ‘hidden’ compartment in the car. I think he said it was an AR-15, but were they already around? Anyway if not, it was something very similar. In the commotion, the car he was in (remember, no modern computer controlled suspension, so quite a bumpy ride, in comparison), that second vehicle, hit a bump in the road (like a ‘pot hole’; do you use that expression in the states?) at the exact same time jfk received that famous, far more dangerous, hit. The AR-15 discharged a single shot as the agent lost balance and also was knocked quite hard by the bumpy road. And….. this accidental, single shot from an SS Agent, hit jfk, and removed half the side of the president’s cranium, tragically. I’m NOT saying I believe this is correct, or more possible etc…. But this number of independent investigators and ballistics experts were all convinced. And, looking at their lengthy reports, many, many, many points and other things totally line up and make sense. So I’m just saying, the weapon used, and the events and shooter, “could” be a lot closer to home than ever thought…. Again, this was from seeing hours of documentaries and other info from a wide range of sources. Just something to think about….. in which case, this ‘near-priceless’ weapon could have gone on in use, like any other, for… well goodness knows how long! Impossible to say. Just something to think about……..
