Tax time is not too far off in the future and I am expecting a refund, some of which I hope I will get to enjoy (wife and daughters you know, tough competition).
I currently own two G19's, a scoped 700 in .30-06, a 12 gauge 870, a SLR-95, a 10/22 and a Marlin 60. I have had my eyes set on several possible requisitions for this opportunity most of which are redundant to my current "armed American citizens" meek arsenal.
A CMP M1 Garand, an Albanian SKS, a Browning Hi-Power, a SA 1911 G.I. .45, and a Beretta 92FS. I have also been interested in a S&W model 10 or 65, but feel I can live without either for the time being.
Of the above selections I really want the Garand but question it's necessity. Actually I question the necessity of any more guns at all, but I am an admitted gun-addict so I just can't help myself.
The high-dollar purchases will be the Garand, Browning and Beretta, the SKS and GI .45 would be a much more acceptable expenditure in my wife's eyes which disapproves of any further firearms purchases at all. But in the face of such disapproval and expected emotional distress I shall make a purchase to reward myself for the efforts made during this year to provide food, shelter and conveyance to my significant other for little or no charge demanded by myself, whilst I have endured 12 months of a monotonous existence and no new “toys†to have enjoyed.
So I beg the question, regarding my current “situationâ€, which of the above “rewards†do you think would be most befitting? And why.
