Default Whew, almost another one

Dang., I was down the local gun shop this evening and there was a T/C Omega there on the used rack. Camo stock, stainless barrel. Breach wrench was sitting on the counter so I unscrewed it and looked down the bore. Perfect condition. Then the tag.....$300.00.
It took some doing but I managed to put the breach plug back in and putit back on the rack. I really don't need another ML. Then I walk over to the rack with the new guns and there sets a Ruger #1 in .45-70. Man, the good Lord was really testing me tonight....but I walked out with nothing more than an bag of 180 gr 10mm bullets for my .45.

You're The Man Of Iron Will. Of course, you won't sleep well tonight wondering if you're truly doing your part in kick-starting the economy.

Well Semi - If Barrack will send me my stimulus check, maybe I will get it. Wouldn't that be ironic. He doesn't like guns, so he sends out a stimulus check so I could buy one......

I love it! The NRA should put out a variety of bumper stickers and lawn signs.

Kick in my door and see what I bought with my stimulus check.



President Obama bought me a Smith&Wesson.

Well it was a good effort but you better just go purchase them rifles and get it all over with.

I have nothing to say to this, it is a no win deal.Good willpower means no guns.Bad either way.
