That's all anyone needs, the rest is "wants"...pretty useless actually. Until I start to sell and use the money for fun

I think I may have seen some of your :stuff " here . Very nice collection and I'm sure some are worth much more now .That is an upside for sure .

I would have alot more but my Wife will not allow it . We are trying to get the house payed for . Getting to old to still have house payments .

Have a good day .

I'd trade all my guns for the ability to have one fun day offshore fishing or to be able to walk around for more than 15 minutes. It's all relative, when I was leo, I spent 110% of what I made. Same for the Army pay. When I started practicing law after getting shot in the Army and the V.A. educated me, I spent the same ratio. I guess that's the American way.

joe hit the nail on the head, 3 is all you need. More than three makes it harder to decide which three..

Now I'm forced into the downsize mode, trying to unload some things and escape the house payment too. I've been flush and I've been broke, I do like flush better.

The common thing we all have is something you can't buy... mutual respect, an appreciation of the second amendment and friends from all over with like interests that "get it"

I'm going to appoint Brownie, if I kick off anytime unexpectedly to quickly tell the wife I really didn't pay $299.99 for the Lightweight Kobra Carry Ed Brown. (see, ordinary people wouldn't get the joke)

I appreciate all of you.

You mean you didn't fully advise the wife as to the amount of a gun purchase?

I'v never heard of such a thing!

My wise Uncle Ed, a self employed lawyer, a multi millionaire, a collector of vast hunting properties, a cigar aficionado, a lover of the finest Cognac, a collector of the finest cars, a womanizer who had the tallest top heavy blondes on his arm and a man who had a firearm collection that took up two rooms in his hunting lodge......said to me just a week before he died suddenly.....


"Joey, all the stuff is crap. When you get old if you can wake up in the morning, take a good sh*t and a good p*ss, you consider yourself a success"

And that is how I live...I have stuff, but don't worship it. Excuse me, the head is calling.

My "toys" are just that, toys. I play with them, maintain them and so forth.
I also allow and like when my friends play with them. They're also an investment. If I were to drop dead tomorrow, my wife could sell them, bury me with the money she makes, and have some left over.
For safety or EDC I depend on two or three of them.
