Have You Forgone a Gun Item for a Non-Gun Toy?

[BerettaNut92]

Not including bills and necessary stuff, have you ever decided you wanted to spend your discretionary money on something non-gun? What did you get?

I think I'm going to get body armor for sure, but not sure if I want to build up a Sig 229 Sport, get a SmartPhone (cell phone/PDA combo) or a custom titanium/carbon fiber banjo

What gun purchases have you put aside and what did you get instead?

I have a weakness for anything related to computers. I have only bought 1 firearm in 4 years, but have bought a few thousand dollars of computer gadgets and upgrades.

But i am thinking that when I come back from this tour in Iraq, that it will be time to adjust the balance a little

Valentine-One radar detector. A bit pricey, at a little over $400, but worth every penny if it saves me.


Kind of like some other things, eh?

I put off buying my Ruger 22/45 in favor of a DVD burner for my PC. This was before they sudden nosedive in prices for DVD burners. *sigh*

 

[Min]

I forego guns only for:

knives/swords

lasting survival items like a Katydyn filter

 

[SuicideKing]

Golf Clubs.

Computer stuff.

 

[BigG]

Yes -

Only girls/women.

[ChopperKen]

How would I carry my guns to the range without my bike?

Non Gun??????? UUUHHH. Gun cases, Surefires, reloading equipment, gun belts, holsters, Militec-1, long gun cases...... OH I KNOW! Royal Robbins 5.11 clothes. I'll stop here.



Edit to add: Diamonds and gold so that my wife will stay!

Knives, Computers, Digital Cameras and Accesories, Fishing Gear.

 

[Navy joe]

Yes, race car has priority, otherwise I'd have twice as many guns and shoot 5 times a week. To try to get to both I've cut out sodas, cable TV, and women.

 

[armoredman]

Baby food, gas and other luxuries....

 

[Schuey2002]

I put off buying a used USP from CDNN for an evil knife with a lovely, little Confederate flag on the blade..

 

[Captain Scarlet]

yes:

military collectors items, nice clothing, books, entertainment and fun, it's
good to do something different once in a while, guns can be very addictive.

 

[Hkmp5sd]

Yep.

I have waaaaay too many expensive hobbies. NASCAR collectibles, action figures, books, chess sets, pewter wizards & dragons, Legos, Model RRs, autographed photos, computer games, medieval weapons, WWII militaria...

Some day, I'll have to grow up and stop playing with toys. Nah!

 

[Bigjake]

Yup. did a complete engine rebuild instead of getting a barret. (think "the works" aluminum heads, dual quad carbs, stroked crank, heavy cam and every little thing in between, oh, and a little button that says GO BABY GO) then the week after the motor went back into my ride, one of ohios finest nails me for 90 over.....

 

[berettaman]

Some day, I'll have to grow up and stop playing with toys.

That's the one great thing about being a man,even if you grow up,everybody knows that we still play with toys.

The older the boys the bigger the toys.

 

[Tamara]

They make toys that aren't weapons? Really?

 

[680x0]

no, I forgo everything else for guns

 

[tc300mag1]

New snowthrower tired of shoveling

 

[MyRoad]

I can say with great certainty; Not Recently. Last few months, I've been all about guns. Eventually I'll get bored, or I'll run out of money, which ever comes first.

 

[JamisJockey]

Tactical Road Assault Bicycle, complete with carbon firber
(2003 Jamis Comet, $1499)
And the Uber Tactical Steel Cyclocross assault bike.
(So far about $600 into it...but who's counting?)

 

[MountainPeak]

NEVER!! I'm smarter than that.

 

[dwain]

l've been buying more knives lately than guns. I've also bought a few coins as of late. Guns still fasinate me, but knives have quite an appeal also.
