One of the worst states for solar. Mainly because the legislature is in bed

pass an amendment to the state constitution that all but cripples any attempt

Good point, .410 was a challenge before and now is even less fun.
That said the shortage is easing, I see Rogers, Cabela's and Midway all list

A 20ga will work fine for personal defense and is more approachable for a
smaller person, heck even a .410 will do the job and that will have essentially

It can be. A lot depends on what it is and how long you can wait to list it.
I have sold three vehicles on BaT. Two were very much worth it, one, not so
much, but I probably got more than I would have in any other venue.

If one has a “BAT caliber” vehicle, is selling it on BAT worth it?
