Banned myself from purchasing more firearms!!

[samrothstein01]

I know this has been discussed before, but it's time for me to acknowledge my addiction.

I have never been a half-a** person, but I have found myself not completing projects or accessorizing my recent purchases, because I am spending the money on more new firearms. (I know, I know, not really the market to do so, but I am patient and find decent deals.)

So needless to say, I have a few items that are feeling neglected and naked, and I should officially be turned into FPS for neglect. (Firearm Protection Services, you know, like CPS for children except this is for inanimate objects.)

I took the first step, and I have weeded out and down to a few calibers. (Except for those items that I inherited....won't give those up even though they are not within my caliber specific parameters.)

I am now only partaking in .40S&W for pistol, .223 and .308 for rifle, and .22LR for plinking in both pistol and rifle forms. Shotguns don't count, right?

So, I have officially banned myself from purchasing a new firearm until I complete my original intentions with those that are in my posession. (Of course that is until I find the next pretty/shiney/metal item that attracts my attention.)

I had to get this off my chest so I can hold myself accountable.....now let's see how long I last!!

I'm in the same boat as well. Need to stop looking at firearms and get myself a new bow set up. Would like to hit some 3D shoots this summer as well. I'm itching for October to get here now.

Dang, you do have a problem. You don't have any revolvers(atleast that you shooter regularly?).

You need a S&W model 610 40/10mm revolver to round that collection out.

The first step is admitting you have a problem. I don't know what the 2nd step is...I never made it that far.

The second step is, well, to buy some more guns!

NO. NO. NO. STAY AWAY FROM FINE SHOT GUNS. THEY ARE THE MOST ADDICTIVE OF ALL FIREARMS. MHO.

Ive pretty much done the same, until I buy a good gunsafe.

Problem is it hasnt stopped me from buying some ammo.

I have a few, but correct, I don't shoot them regularly. I do take my .38spcl to the range about once per month, as sometimes I like/need to use it for ankle carry, so I like keep tuned up with it. Maybe you are correct, more revolvers is what I need!!! Doh!!!...That means another stocking caliber!

NO. NO. NO. STAY AWAY FROM FINE SHOT GUNS. THEY ARE THE MOST ADDICTIVE OF ALL FIREARMS. MHO.

I guess what I meant was that I am not counting shotguns as firearms that have to be within the specific calibers I mentioned. I can buy whatever guage of these I see fit, because for the most part, I can still feed those pretty easily, and I enjoy skeet/trap/clays. Although I shoot my 20 and 16 gauges somewhat often, my 12 guages get the most action. I have two more on my wish list that I am hoping to obtain in the immediate future........but trying really hard to hold off until I finish my other projects!
