Buying guns = Therapy?

[kalibear45]

Does buying guns make you feel good?

I know it makes me feel good and shooting them even makes me feel better. Nothing like a day at the range when all your groups touch each other and the gun does not malfunction.

Now I'm feeling a little depressed Looks like its about that time to see the shrink (gunshop) and maybe he can prescribe me a good anti-depressant (a decent priced handgun)

In the meantime...

I'm good enough. I'm smart enough. And dog-gone it, people like me

Guilty as charged. I've bought more than a few toys as a present to myself for getting a good grade or as a way to cheer myself up after doing horribly on an exam, or just as a way of congradulating myself for surviving finals week.
Last night, I spent $180 on tools and US parts to assemble the (non-I/O) FAL kit I stashed away for a rainy day because I barely passed a Heat & Mass Transfer test by the skin of my teeth and needed a boost. I'm meeting with my FFL on Wednesday to start the paperwork on the reciever.

Range time is good for the soul. Shooting and cleaning guns are good for my arthritic wrist.

Yes they're theraputic. It's called relaxation and stress control.

I just plunked down the change on a Savage .223. For my birthday, I thought I'd buy myself a little somethin special...

Kharn, real quick, how 'bout deriving the Navier-Stokes equation, thanks.

 

[Kharn]

Navier-Stokes were last semester in Fluid Mechanics, already forgot them (and tests were open book, so I never had to entirely memorize them). Sorry.
I think I'll go buy some .308 to make up for that...

A good range session is the best way to blow off steam after a bad week at work of putting up with those ignorant :banghead:

Sorry. Time to pack up the range bag.

and a heck of alot cheaper than the real thing too . (going rate for a therapist is $220 an hour around here ... but on second thought I think I spent that in ammo I burned up in a half an hour last week.......)

Gun shows, range time, shooting, cleaning guns, repairing guns, talking about guns, it's all good! Makes me feel better every time.
I'm in a need for a gun buy treatment for the stress!

Does buying guns make you feel good?

Yes Yes it does the problem is...
every gun I buy keeps me happy for less time then the one before

I don't have enough money to support my Therapy

 

[RTFM]

I guess the theropy for me is purchasing ammo which is cheaper than new Hardware.
So far just a few new boxes of ammo do the trick, followed by a trip to the range to make sure that what I bought all work. ...

I do like the take down and cleaning. Love the smell of the cleaning chemicals, reminds me of weapon cleaning times in the Army. . After qualifications and range days, the whole company cleaning.. Strange I know but my .02$

I feel guilty after buying ammo and accessories...but I feel damn good after buying a gun!!!
