    Almost Embarrassed to Post This

    I'll admit to buying a 12 gauge shotgun I don't need and have no idea what I will do with it. I bought it because it was something of a novelty and on sale for cheap. It also had a rebate which was four 9 round magazines which were delivered today. Damn! They are big and heavy. Empty! 12 gauge requires huge magazines! I'm wondering how the gun will feel with one of these loaded.

    I haven't fired this beast yet, not sure if I ever will. I've already been offered twice what I paid for it after only one person seeing it, but I declined.

    You can never regret or be embarrassed about acquiring another firearm. That looks like a bad rama jama.

    I'm thinking it could be of use should Jurassic Park ever become a reality.

    What's "need" got to do with it?......

    This is Texas, you see it, you like it, you buy it......

    I took delivery yesterday on the 164th S&W I've acquired since I kickstarted my collection/accumulation again this time last year, and I can't pinpoint a "need" for any of them, other than the fact I just like them and wanted them...Of that number, I still have 82 minus the nickeled 4" Model 57 I added last weekend...A buddy called yesterday after finding out I had it and made me an offer only a fool would turn down...And my Pappy didn't raise any fools......

    On to the next acquisition......Ben

    I'm beginning to feel very uncomfortable with this conversation----I have spent years presenting new needs to answer the certain question of, why did you need that? I have also learned never---never--offer a "reason" that would allow the follow up of---"well then why do you still need that other one"?

    One of the really confusing aspects of this issue is that I can sneak a new gun into the house without my wife seeing it enter----but somehow, even with all that I have she is like a cow who can sniff out a bastard calf in the herd.
