Yesterday I noticed the only footware I owned was 9 pairs of combat boots(various types), a pair of VB boots, 2 pairs of lowquarters, and a pair of worn out running shoes. The plan was to buy a couple pairs of civilian shoes now that I am a civilian.The first mistake: On the way to a shoe store I decided to stop by a local gun shop to see if anything new was in. There I find a sweet Ruger .22 revolver that I knew my uncle would like. $340 for pistol, holster, and ammo.
The second mistake: While dropping off the pistol at my uncles place I run into a friend who says one of his friends has some AK mags for sale. Went over to his house and he has 2 thirty round mags, a 50 round mag, and a chinese 75 round drums. I told him I wanted the drum and he asks if I want to buy some AK ammo and a Romanian Guardia AK parts kit. Drum $50, 1400 rounds of Wolf AK ammo $100 and AK parts kit $50. $200 total although the parts kit is missing trigger guard and mag release.
The third mistake: Another local gunshop is just down the road from where I bought the AK stuff and I decide to stop by for just a second. I find a 20guage Remington 870 another friend has been looking for. Haven't seen one for sale around here for a long time and buy it for him as a gift. Shotgun $230, extra choke $20, choke tool $10, and box of shells $5.50.
The forth mistake: Its getting late and I remembered to call Hoplite, Inc. to see if any Remington PSS models have come in yet. I call every month and they never have any in stock. Now they have a couple of extra from a police order. $824.99 with shipping.
All this running around and I still don't have any new shoes.
