New Location

[Old_Me]

So a LGS about 45 minutes away from me is relocating closer to me and their opening is tomorrow. Was only there once since it's a drive also where I bought my Wilson CQB. They treated me right but due to work and family medical issues couldn't get back down. Well just so happens I'm off tomorrow and get this ? The Wife tells me go, stop down and take a look. So I tell her Okay I'll just go and look.....Said no gun owner ever. How many here have just gone to quote unquote Go Look and came home with a new piece ?

more often than not, i go home with nothing in hand, but the keys to my car.

it's not a money issue, but rather a need or want issue with me. right now, i am putting off gun buying in favor of searching for primers and powders. i'd rather buy some products, such as powders, and primers, locally if i can, and save on the stupid hazmat charges, which in my view, cost more than the powder i want to buy...

I cruise the gun shops in search of ammo. I usually leave disconsolate and sad that I wasted $5.50 diesel on the trip. I will be in the wood shop.

i have a 2.5" GP 100, and i was looking at a used 5" GP, but for the price of used (if he does not accept a low offer) i can buy a new 6" GP, which frankly, i might just do that.

that's why all my gun cases are the same. she sees the "same" case going to range with me each week, so it must be the same (and only) gun each time, right? pretty sure she's not buying that! hahahaha!!

you may have to import some armadillos to justify the purchase.
