Honestly all I wanted was a handgun. Just a little 9 or 40. Nothing fancy, no small fortune, just a single gun....
...then I found INGO - AND YOU GUYS ARE COSTING ME A FORTUNE!!!
I just wanted a pistol, but I started reading and realized that wasn't nearly enough. 100-200 rounds wasn't good enough, I needed 1,000+ for my handgun. Then there was the LTCH, then the Crossbreeds Holster, then a M&P22 pistol for my wife plus the thousands of rounds of .22 I needed for it. I'm sure I can quit, but then someone had a 10/22 for sale, and it was my birthday, so maybe just one more. And even though it had a nice Blackhawk stock, it needed help, maybe a scope...and extra magazines. So another trip to the store.
But I can only shoot at the farm so often, so it's join the NRA so I can join a local range.
"Maybe that's enough" I tell myself. But I know I'm lying, because I ran into an acronym I had never seen before: SHTF. Well it turns out I've been thinking this kind of stuff for a long time (demonstrated by pausing every TEOTWAWKI movie and telling my wife just how stupid and how dead most of these people would be). So now I have to start looking at other weapons. Custom built AR from Palmetto, WASR on sale at Dunhams, Remington 870 Combo, plus thousands and thousands of rounds! Of course I'm going to need a safe for all of this $$$$!
Then last week, casually minding my own business, I ran into something I never wanted: old guns. I like new stuff. I'm writing this on my iPad 2 with a BlueTooth keyboard. But there it was - a Mosin Nagant. Seriously, a gun that cheap? But it's old, so it must be junk. "Oh, you have to clean it," that's why it's so cheap. So last Friday I picked one up. 1937 Tula. Tight trigger, nice stock, 7 pounds of cosmoline - I had to have. Of course I needed a sardine can to go with it so more $$$. Monday I cleaned it up. History and firearms = true love! So I start thinking - I need a crate of them. I have 7 kids and my wife plus I have some ideas for sportserizing some, so a crate ought to work. That means I NEED a C&R license to save some $$$. So today I fill out the forms for my C&R and send it in to BATFE - and I haven't even shot the Mosin yet!
So tonight I got home, having thought about it all week but haven't shot it yet - so off to the farm with 15 minutes of daylight left. BOOM! I definitely need more of these
So the moral of this story is...if you are reading this RUN!!! INGO will quickly leave you broke; smiling, but broke!
