New gun shopping spree!

thebigdl86 · March 25th, 2009, 09:44 PM

Well in the last week i have spent roughly 2000$ on guns and ammo! And i stilll plan on getting one more gun, a new main carry gun for my wife. Leaning towards a kel-tec pf-9 but undecided right now. Anyways so far i have bought, a ruger lcp, kel-tec p3at, mosberg500,
and a taurus 24/7 pro .45acp. Also about 1000 rounds in various cal.
While i feel good about adding to my arsenal, and i know its a long term purchase, and i feel like i have better qaulity weapons now, (wich is very important to me) i just hate myself for spending so much money! Whatever, i guess whats done is done, i just keep telling myself that they were "needs" and not "wants".

Me too, but all long guns. The kids needed new rifles. 2 Remmy 700s, a stainless Vanguard and a NEF Handi. Sightrons and Leupolds on top with mounts and a goodly supply of ammo for all and my bonus from work is long gone.

You are wise to purchase now...

My safes are 'packed' tightly. I'd have trouble adding a box of .22 shells...

I don't think this ammo shortage is going away...and I do not think that the prices are coming down. The price increases started several years ago.

I spent ALL of my tax return money on weapons, I got a sig 229 , a mossberg 590 tactical, a s&w j frame .38 and a used mini 14, and the best thing is my wife didn't give me any grief about it

My wife isnt giving me any grief i think she just doesnt really understand why i think i need all these guns on top of what we already have. But then again, my wife never really tells me not to do things. I know shes pissed lol! I did buy two guns for her though.

I am only getting the stuff I feel I wont be able to get a few months to a year or so from now, because of the usual clowns in washington... I initially got myself a Rem870 tac but traded it for a Saiga 7.62x39mm and got a RRA striped reciever to make myself an "evil black rifle" and everything else I can order online without FFL... other than that I want to get the basic equipment to reload... I don't feel like I need or want anything else other than ammo.
