It really does bite you!!!!!
« on: January 04, 2007, 08:34:48 AM »
 I was perusing the local gun shop today, nothing particular in mind. Just to browse and salivate maybe over a wish list gun. Out of the corner of my eye something flashed. When I turned to look at it, the blonde checkered furniture slapped me in the face and screamed at me to "Pick me up!!!" I don't even remember asking the owner to pull it off of the rack. It was in my hands. Of course I gave it the once over and was all set to send it back to it's cradle, when to my amazement it became stuck in my hands and the only words that could/would come out of my mouth was "What are you asking for it?" A price was given.................and with no hesitation, I blurted out......."I'll take it!!!"  I'm a true believer now, there seems to be no known cure, medication, or therapy regime for this affliction. As I'm typing this, next to my H&R .450 Marlin rests a Handi SB2, #NP******, heavy barrel .223. It seems real content with it's new home and I swear I heard it ask Papa .450 if he could have a new brother soon.

I have a 30-06 ultra comp barrel, 243,270,20ga tracker2 that have never been shot yet. I got them for when I do have time to shoot them, hopefully soon. I knew I wanted th 30-06 ultra comp and they quit making it the others I just got a good deal on and hopefully some day soon they will all get a work out.

PROUD REDNECK CONSERVATIVE

I'd much rather be remembered for being a great shot than having the most expensive gun

 Today I resisted picking up a .280, actually my wife threatened me with grevious bodily harm if I did. She told me that there absolutely has to be a grace period between H&R/NEF purchases. I've retained council and we're going to arbitration. I'm bringing a great character witness though, as soon as my oldest son came home from school he grabbed the .223 and fell in love, asked if he could get one in.22 or .17. We didn't tell mom, saving the disease defense for arbitration day.
