I've found living on the street isn't bad when you get used to it, and I can go the range now whenever I want.Originally Posted by Eaglebeak
OK, so my firearms and ammo purchases force me to live in a hovel, eat roadkill, and do my shopping from the dumpster behind WalMart, my hovel is well protected and I'm enjoying the hell out of all the shooting I get to do

More than I had budgeted to spend and less than I wish I could spend.

At least one new gun a year and lots of ammo.

Far less then sitting in a bar buying drinks for the ladies and buddies, or what my buddies spend on cigerattes at $6 something a pack.
NO opportunity to cause disconnent at home. She shoots with me.

Good point, there's a lot of worse things you could do with your money.

However the clamps have been applied and I,will comply.

Enough that if my wife found out I'd need those guns for self-defense inside the house. That being said, not as much as I need to.

No way I'd answer this and leave a printed trail for my wife to follow. But lets just say she thinks I give A LOT to charity each year.

I don't think I want to add it up. This year was really high, my wife and I bought memberships for training. After the training I decided to get certificates for my children and their spouses (5) for handgun training. If you are going to carry a gun get professional training. I did not know how much I did not know, both physical and mental.
My youngest will be 21 the end of Jan, I have about a $1000 budget to get him outfitted with gun, holster, and belt. I may end up going over a little, but I think it is a good investment.

It varies from year to year. I started off this year not thinking I was going to buy anything.
Well that is what I get for thinking I guess. I ended up getting my son a pistol and rifle, and myself a pistol and rifle and the wife a pistol.
With ammo, reloading supplies, a few BB guns for Hunter Education classes, some optics etc. I guess I am over 3k this year.
I don't plan on getting anything next year thought.Well maybe if I see a deal or something I just gotta have.
Just remember that shot placement is much more important with what you carry than how big a bang you get with each trigger pull.

Between training gear and guns along with parts and keeping up with new technology and parts I'd say about 5-6k a year. If I could roughly estimate.

I picked 1000 to 2000 because I am waiting for the year to reset on New Years before buying the next handgun I want.

It seems the most powerful gun restriction in the U.S. is: WIVES.
