The Gun I Didn't Buy Today

[cbickel]

Good job on putting family first and exercising restraint. Saying no to temptation is super hard.

Ok, so what's going to protect such a large family and new home?

I am not unarmed. I didn't mean to give that impression. Just looking for something new, but now isn't the right time to spend $ on another gun.

Homes, cars, insurance, health, college, just day to day can zap your slush fund and turn it into water. Seek a lay a way plan, or keep your $ tight. Trades usually lose money, but then, it is a business. You don't have to deal with people beating you up for $20-30 on a classified. Some classified are asking more than a new model, but most have options/extras(holsters, ammo, mags), so it's a judgement call.
Good luck, you are doing the right thing by watching the funds, maybe needed elsewhere.

Lost both of my sons this year....would give all I have to hold them again.....FAMILY first

I am so sorry to hear that. My prayers for you.

I put 30 dollars a week back for my gun purchases. Yeah you cant get something every week, but that's over 1500 a year in the long run. Plus I usually buy a gun or something of equal value for myself on the birthday.

Some of you make me feel good I had only one measley kid.. ~
Now I have to keep him from liberating my toys.

Your avatar is awful. And I'm sorry to hear that your kid had measles.

With kid 5 on the way, sounds like learning to say "no" might be coming a bit slow. Lol

That made me laugh, seems to be true though.

Was in the local store this morning, just looking. The Glock 43 I have been wanting was on sale. I held it in my hand, dry fired a couple of times. It was what I have been wanting and felt very natural in my hand. AND I had cash in my pocket. After a few minutes of deliberation...I just had to walk away. Kid #5 on the way and house hunting take priority. It will likely be there next time. Tough to turn it down though with cash in hand. If I had known how much I would have to say 'no' to myself as an adult, I probably would have said 'yes' much more when I was younger.

DRY FIRE Think Im going to be sick lol

Maybe he should switch to dry fire in the bedroom.... Just kidding, congratulations on number 5.
