    Need has nothing to do with the situation.

    Must have is the determination.
    See gun + $$$ in pocket = MUST HAVE

    You only ever NEED one gun, after that they are all WANTS.

    Danger is my middle name. I never pass an LGS without going in.

    Well I've come out unscathed, my wallet anyway.

    Store number one had nothing really interesting, save a nice 686, but another 357, I'm going for a King Cobra Target there
    Store number 2 closed early.

    I didn't escape my brush with the gun store.
    Found a garand and a 22/45 lite.
    Also lightened my wallet.

    I find sitting on a heavy wallet uncomfortable.

    I went to a gunshow today with what I consider a lot of cash. Walked out only $20 lighter.

    It's by no means heavy, but I'll lighten what I got for the things I really like :)

    I went to my LGS with the cash to buy back a revolver I sold them 8 months ago to finance another purchase. Sadly they sold it a few days ago leaving me with all that cash burning a hole in my pocket in a gun shop. Worse yet they had a pristine S&W pre Model 15 in the case. However I forced myself to leave without handling it but it's still on my mind. The money went into the gun safe waiting for my next weak moment.

    I'm usually good until I'm unsupervised.....then all bets are off.
    That 686 is on my mind, as the number wasn't bad. Good thing that place is an hour drive and will be closed by the time I could get there. For now

    Now you know there's always room for another nice S&W Model 15. It will increase in value much faster than the US dollars we have socked away.

    I drove a determined gunstore free route to pay my divorce attorney's retainer when I had a crazy amount of cash in my pocket a few years ago.

    Sounds like some of you have a problem.

    I’ve gotta obsessively research and lust for a gun first before I go track one down.

    The new gun smell has lightened lots of wallets. So has the old gun smell. :D
