gun store psychosis

LOL...I got the same sickness.
 I learn to either look at really good deals that don't cost $100 (which there aren't any) or look at something thats outta my price range (the only thing that bothers me there is SA's operator...).

It is an addiction, and that's why my New Year's resolution was to not purchase any firearms this year.
 So far, I've only bought a Remington 870 Police shotgun (in February), and handled a few Kahrs at the gunshop...

Nah - it ain't deadly at all - just a simple addiction which can - if not careful - lead to very empty coffers
 I don't leave with a gun every time but doubt I ever leave without buying at least some ammo, or powder etc!

I have a mutation of "gun store psychosis"....."internet psychosis"....I go to Auction Arms, Gunbroker or the "buy/sell" section of various internet gun group sites, find a bargain and buy it.....I'm awaiting a Wilson Combat custom Remington 870 I purchased over at Glock Talk last week.....
