Sell your car, buy a handgun!

How are you going to get to the range to shoot your new guns?

Good choice.

I got my mini-14 instead of a car....still dont have my liscense yet. i really ought to get that.

I only work 6 miles away from home (when I'm not working from home), so I ride a bike! I've got older vehicles with no payments, cheap insurance and not that great gas mileage. It just makes more sense to ride. Plus there's the added benefit of being at least a little active.

Hey, I can use my gas money to buy AMMO!!

I once traded a car for a really sweet custom revolver.

Is this your ONLY car? How will you get around town to buy food and other necessesities?

Have Gun, Can't Travel

One thing about it...Ya won't hafta worry about gettin' car-jacked no more...

Out here a properly equipped ATV is road legal and traffic is light. Gets a little nippy going to town but I get around 42 mpg...

And nobody is laughing these days, either.

I wonder how many handguns I can get a year with that extra $345 a month i save

...A lot!

add that up and its $845 more a month that I have to play with

Now that's REALLY a lot!

All in all, I'd say you've got a sweet plan laid out. Good on 'ya.

I've used somewhat similar reasoning before. When asked how I can afford to buy guns I reply that since I drive an old beater car with no payments I could use the money that most people use each month to pay their car payment to pay for my guns. Sometimes they ask about affording ammo. I simply tell them that I spend less on ammo than most smokers spend on cigaretts (and some drinkers on alcohol.) Sometimes living cheaply is more fun.

$15,000 will get you admission into the wonderful,magical world of Class III weaponry pretty well.And who in their right mind would NOT want a suppressed,select fire MP5?...

Thats why I learned automechanics, so I can drive cheap beaters, and spend more money on what matters

Let's see $845/mo x12 mo/yr = $10140 per year.

CZ-52 at SOG $96 for 2 or more 10140/96 = about 105 CZ-52s per year and enough left over for your C&R. Of course this doesn't count shipping, so you might only be able to get 80 or so.

Arm your kith and kin!!!

P.S. Year 2 you can stock up on about 80,000 rounds of surplus 7.62x25.

Crap, beat me to it

Since you have freed up $500 a month (don't forget to call your insurance company and revise your daily mileage estimate to lower your rates), you could buy a nice gun every other month and devote the rest to ammunition. I try to have 100 rounds of good SD ammo per gun and 1,000 rounds of FMJ range ammo per caliber around the house. Well, I try at least. Dang ammo goes on weekend trips with me sometimes and disappears, can't figure out where it goes.

Got a car for my ex wife............good trade

Me. I shot all the toys I wanted in the Corps. Now I have no urge to rock-n-roll. I'd blow it on a .470 NE double rifle.

Yeah right! You would be on the phone looking for an ortho consult after firing it! :banghead:
