Who buys a gun to cheer themselves up?

I know that some of you do....I have found myself wandering over to gun stores when I am feeling down in the dumps...
Even if I dont buy an actual gun...Buying something gun related sure cheers me up. Last week i bought some snap caps that I had been meaning to get for a while.
The week before that, it was a cheapo cordura holster that I ended up really liking.
A month ago, it was a new 9mm...just because...hey, it was cheap!!
Im not sure if this is a good thing or not...It is beginning to feel more like an addiction...However, I havent found how this addiction will give me cancer, so I am all for it.:D
my fiance thinks I am crazy...She is right...considering I have no source of income...But what the hey...School loans arent JUST for school ....ARE THEY??:confused:

Toys are supposed to cheer you up and getting new ones does also.
I'm cheerful now because this weekend a friend of mine sold me 2 great S&W revolvers at very good prices. One was a superb 4" 686 and the other was a 2" Chief Special Model 60 with the original walnut grips.

No, because I can't predict how I will feel 10 days later :banghead:

Can't afford to buy one everytime I get depressed. Doesn't happen often but I still don't have the casho most of the time. But browsing a gun shop and holding their Socom for the Nth time is cheering. It's also nice to shoot watermelons. Darn dirty melons...

Sometimes I buy a gun (or something gun or knife related) to cheer me up but even if I am not depressed, getting a new gun will make me happy.:D

If I had the money, yes. Sadly I don't so just holding it or going to the gun range helps...:D

KHarn, that's exactly what's holding me back from getting my C&R. Boy, there are enough good deals out there to drive a man to bankrupcy! :eek:

Imagine how depressing it must be to live in England or California.

Handguns are nice to get you feeling better, but not the only thing. Some years back I was feeling down, real bad - so I went to my car dealer and bought me a new Lincoln... couple of days later I bought me a new S&W. I felt a lot better.

Sounds like materialism...
"Money can't buy happines, only the temporary illusion of happiness." It's the same with smoking, drinking, and caffeine.
Never said I disagree though. :D :neener:

i cheerfully enter a gunstore with great expectations. take a close look at the availables. even ask about things that may be lost to pawn. am more than cheerful when i leave with a "find".

I can't say that I buy one to cheer myself up but I am always more cheerful than I previously was when I do get one.
I was really cheerful yesterday when the BBT dropped off two rifles for me :D .

Buying a gun is less fattening than eating chocolate ice cream.
