The sign of an advanced addiction is looking at gun safes thinking they're all inadequate then checking out what is needed for a walk in gun vault.

...when you won't spend $200 to replace your 10 year old piece of s#%t whipper snipper, but you'll happily spend a grand on a gun that you only just realised that you really, really need.
The pen may be mightier than the sword, but personally I prefer the .30/30 Winchester.

I don't get it. Why do you need a whipper snipper? Just shoot each blade of grass individually.

You can tell you’re addicted to shooting when you wake up on Christmas morning and start reading gun forums.

Got back from the LGS Christmas party about two hours ago - deep fried Turkey, burgers, hotdogs, more beer than I was comfortable drinking, since I was driving.

Great party. Found another Brno model 1 at another shop, the owner was there as well.

Life is good. :)
