Gun buying addiction

[Big Ram]

So does anyone else have the problem of just always wanting more guns? Since I've joined INGO every time I've been bored at work I get on and starting looking through the classifieds and get tempted lol. This has not been good on the bank account. I mean for about 1-2 months Friday night was gun deal night hahaha. Does anyone else have this medical condition

I've had this same problem for a while myself. But this is a good problem as long as it does not cause a financial strain.

 

[STEEL CORE]

Yes, unfortunatly. It's the ones that get away like the Mossberg 500 shotgun at Bradis, or the Glock-17 at Jenkins I passed on, that keep me awake at night.

 

[Big Ram]

Yes I have a few of those myself lol.

Discipline is the solution. I have a game plan on how often I buy a new one. Not I just need to stick to it.

 

[Big Ram]

Ya sticking to it is the hard thing I've stayed gun sober now for 3 weeks now. I almost caved though this weekend lol

Yep. But I don't always have the money to get my FIX. Maybe once or twice a year!

I have just the opposite problem. I am always running across guns at a fair price. Sometimes I even buy one to help a guy out. Pretty soon I have a few guns laying around that I never shoot. So I gather them up and put them towards something nicer. I have pretty much dwindled my collection down to just a few guns.

Yes I have become that gun snob mentioned in another thread. As you buy and try different guns you will find your tastes will change.

The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem.

I do not have a problem.

I don't look it as an addiction. I consider it a part of MY "stimulus plan". I tell my wife I'm just being a good American and doing my part to help the economy recover....not sure she's buying it though.

Perhaps we could be the charter members!

 

[churchmouse]

My name is churchmouse....yes, I am an addict.

I get bored and look through the safe for something to trade or sell when funds are low in and I need to feed the addiction. I have one in the long guns section right now just because I have the itch for something else.

 

[Bennettjh]

I don't know what you're talking about. I can pass up guns just fine.

 

[mikefraz]

I have my next two gun purchases already planned out. If only I would just heap on the debt like the test of America I could have the gun collection that I want. Haha

 

[LANShark42]

Bought my first gun in late December. Now I have 8 total (5 pistols, 3 long guns). So yeah, I'd say I'm addicted.

 

[Redtbird]

Well, the only guns I've bought since last October have been air guns. And, at their much lower price, they can become addictive quickly. So far, I've bought three since the first of the year and spent about $285. Not bad. Currently waiting for a new
AR-ish looking thing to be released by Crosman. But on the other side, I do have my eye on a Mosin. Just waiting to set up a meet with the current owner.

It is very hard. I honestly want every gun I see at lgs, or Walmart, or just wherever. Thank God I`m on a fixed income.
