I am writing this from the bean-bag chair in my safe space whilst sipping my vente soy-grande frapemachiado latte mocha and playing with my crayons. I am so triggered. I was sure that Hillary would win. I was so certain. I needed her to win. Now that she has lost I’m having trouble deciding the direction of my future. I really, really feel like I need to buy a gun to celebrate, but I just CANNOT decide which one.

There are so many that I want.

Should I get a handgun, a rifle, a shotgun… I just don’t know.

If I decide to get a handgun, do I get the 1911A1 I want or the HK45? I’ve always wanted a reproduction .44 Colt-Walker cap and ball, I could get one of them.

What about a shotgun? Want me a Versa Max. Or a Stoeger Coach gun.

Oh, and rifles. Cripes. Things on my list include a Henry Golden Boy and a Ruger American Rimfire. A precision rifle of some sort. Maybe a .22 AR-ish rifle. Or a dedicated .22LR upper. A SPR upper? Maybe. Always wanted a Colt A2 as close legally to the A2 I was issued. I’d like a match upper also; maybe White Oak. Also back to black powder, a flint-lock Kentucky long rifle. I love the smell of real black powder in the morning. It smells like… black powder.

Or I could get the rest of what I need to start reloading. Or so AR500 steel targets.

I just can’t make up my mind.
DAMN YOU HILLARY FOR LOSING! If you’d have won, I would be experiencing this cognitive dissonance.

That was great!

I had a new BCM Jack Carbine, big box of ammo, and ten pack of mags show up on election day. I felt a little silly the next day. Silly with a sweet new AR!

Hell I've been stocking up for a fooking year. One hell of a relief!

Let us know when you start crying in the fetal position and you might get a group hug in your safe space.

SOB! I had actually intended on including that EXACT thing, but in a corner of my safe space and forgot it.
Was also going to include maybe getting a suppressor as an option but forgot that too.
Damn it.
I think I'm going to encourage ar15.com to include a posting option wherein someone can "kind of" post a post but just for themselves so they can have a look over it before they actually post it publicly.
Maybe call it "Aheadview" or some such.

Edit to add: Was also going to say that I was thinking of standing out in the street to protest but figured most people in Rockford would probably think I was just off my meds again.
Freakin' old age.

Key phrase now highlighted.

You mean like the Preview button that is right next the Submit button.

Maybe aheadview was some sort of time machine he was thinking of.  That's what happen when he is off his meds, which he is. I will call the sheriff. Dibs on his guns

Pfffffft, LOL.

I don't gots no guns.

Guess it was a Springfield USGI 1911A1.

That will fit nicely in my collection when you get arrested.

I'm telling them you taught me everything I know, so you'll be right there with me.

Finally just got it out for a quick test shooting using remanned ammo.
I have 5 magazines; 1 that came with it and four that were going to be thrown away when our Guard unit transitioned from .45 to 9mm so I liberated them. (with permission)
The one that came with it functioned flawlessly.
One of the surplus ones looks like the feedlips are bad, but it too functioned flawlessly.
The other three, that all look good, all malfunctioned.
Mags aren't all that expensive so think I will shitcan the 4 surplus ones and just get new Springfield mags; Midway USA has then reasonably.
Don't know how it shot as it is after dark and the snow is flying.
Have to shoot at something other than a cut corn field next time.
I do think I will be happy with my M1911A1.
Of course, now I want a fancier 1911.
DAMN YOU HRC!!!
I guess we'll go Forward Together in my 1911 journey.

I am at a loss for words right now.
