It's only money. I'll make more...

I ran across an interesting article from 2018 that I had posted over the survival thread. It makes a good case for buying that second rifle or another case of ammo.

We have always looked at being prepared for just about anything. Self defense was always a part of this and has been the springboard into what I have collected/built/modified/have ammo for.

Yup.

Spent some time this afternoon doing an inventory of the safe. Found several impulse pieces we’ve acquired this year that just don’t get shot.

Just cause they don't get out to the big party does not mean they should not have a warm and safe home with you.....

Uh oh, what did you buy?

Eh, I don’t do well with that line of thought. It just becomes more safe. Might be time to work on “less is more”, weird concept I know. Lol

Not for a trained accountant.....

I get it. I really do.

I’ve struggled with the less-is-more vs. I’m-a-collector mindset. I like to make sure that my carry needs are covered to the nth degree but when you get to the point where you could lose a gun to the evidence locker every day for a month before running out of polymer guns, it might be time to come up for air.

I’m not a very good collector. Lol My interests change too often.

Not a thing wrong with that mindset. I am no collector either. I just end up so deep in my modified/custom builds they have to stay with me.

I'm guessing a truck .... since he's been a lookin' !

Sound philosophy, we are only temporary caretakers of these items.

A junkyard is coming to pick the Spider (old rusty one, not old nice one) tomorrow and while on the phone setting it up, the woman says ‘I apologize, but $25 is the best I can do’. I ask her if she’s paying me $25 or if I’m paying her $25 and she confirms that she’s paying me $25. Cool! I would have gladly paid her the $25 to haul it away but I figure that not only do I get rid of the rolling chassis, but that I get a mediocre bottle of bourbon in exchange.

If they were metal guns, it would be totally understandable to have that many ..... but polymer !!!














..... just joshin' ya. A man should have whatever the hell he wants !

Only one of my built pieces is on the list, and really built is a stretch. It’s just expensive for parts. But like several others I’ve realized it only get shot at the gatherings, I pick the other options before it when I go to the range by myself. That tends to be the sign for me.

I do think the New Year’s resolution will be impulse buying control.

It might also be time to see if you need to move, get different people to hang out with, or take up fishing instead of what you did previously. That's a lot of cases to go through! LOL

I wonder what I could get for a school bus?

Did you just come up with this on a whim? Very impulsive!
