Hey, aren't we related? Yeah...I remember you. You're that uncle that owes me money.

Either you are unmarried now, or will be very soon. Good purchases all around, though. |
|
damn you spend more in one day than I spend in about a year for guns.
Did I mention that I hate you |

On my way home from the grocery store. Saw a truck I liked in the dealer parking lot. None of the groceries needed to be put in the fridge, so I stopped, test drove, and bought my $27,000 truck.
I would say about 10 or so of the guns I have bought were bought completely on impulse. Had no real want for it until I saw it at the shop/show. |
|
The shop is on Route 159 south of 64
It is called the "Belleville Shooting Range" I just got engaged at Christmas (so I did'nt have to buy a present too, I thought the ring was enough) I feel I should be well armed before I get married. |
|
I wish I had the disposable income to do something like that without being overtaken by buyer's remorse. I think thr last impulse purchase I made was a $29 dollar jacket.

Called up Dealers Warehouse one time to get a receiver. While I was on the phone I ordered a 1911 just for grins. Wife didn't know anything until I had to move the safe. All the guns come out and she says, "Hey is this new?"
Oops. |

Entering college and broke up with my GF of 1.5 yrs. Decided I kind of liked sportbikes so I bought a new 2001 Suzuki GSX-R 750 a few days after considering it. Best money I've spent.
|
|
Lets just say that I did my part to keep Winchester/USRAC in business.
|
|
Obviously, you didn't do enough. |

Went into my favorite gun store.
Saw a Beretta Silver Hawk 12ga, 28 inch barrels, SxS, english stock, etc ohhhhhhhhh, pretty but I can't get it without getting the wife something (as it's her turn for a new gun) Hey, i ask, got any left hand O/U's? Sure, he says, got a real nice brand new Browning 525 left handed. total bill, just under 6,000 (yeah, shotguns are 'spensive) plus another $700 for stock fitting. Brian |

Where is bellville in relation to Valmeyer? If I'm thinkning correctly its kinda close. I'd have to check out that place when I go visit my mom in Valmeyeer.
|
|
I felt so good when I made my purchases. I think I am going to explode waiting for three days to get my guns. I wonder if this is how women feel when they buy clothes?

Just got my bonus payment, so..cleaned off a credit card, my overdraft, some in savings, etc...decided to run by the local funstore on the way back from lunch, "just to see"
15 minutes later I walked out with a brand new Springfield XD 45ACP. Didn't plan on it, didn't even expect or really want to get anything...but *Shrug* kinda hard to turn down 13+1 of .45 for a good price, especially since the new ones have a way better finish than the older XD's... That'll be the last gun purchase for a while...hopefully... |
|
You mean you can buy more than one handgun in a month? Im really gonna have to move out of this state.
|
|
all of my gun purchases are sort-of impulse buys. i get it in my head that i want something, then if i stop at a fun shop and see it, it's mine! |
|

|
I just bought a blade-tech belt holster with Tek-Lok clasp for $60.
I don't really need it, but I want a better holster for my Glock 21. Plus I'm a college student, so $60 isn't a meaningless amount of money to me. -Fidel |
|
I bought a Henry Goldenboy lever-action .22 the first time I saw it. Fun little rifle, and it looks sharp.
We made an offer on the house we bought less than an hour after we first stepped in the door. But we'd been looking for a house for four months, so I don't know if that counts as an impulse buy. |
|
Shit, i bought the "display model" of an Inova X5 light 20% off at sharper image and felt bad about THAT........
$30 bucks.... that was before I got my 262 buck gas bill, now I wish I had not bought it. |
|
Now all you need to do is find some 7.62 ammo to run through the AK

IMPULS BUY Wife and I traded in her 98 chevy on a 02 dodge went to pick up the tags for her truck and they had just taken in a fully loaded 04 quad cab w/ leather and sunroof. Asked my salesman how much and he said they just put it out at 42k long story short i traded my 04 quad cab for that 04 quad cab and pissed the wife off to boot but I got a HEMI

My wife bought me an iPod for Christmas. But being a girl, she didn't bother to read the system requirements on the side of the box. Our home computer was an ancient POS and wouldn't be able to run the iTunes software.
So shortly after that I bought a new $1400 iMac so I could play with my new iPod. |
|
Two years ago I stopped after work for a snack at a local restaurant, across the street I spied a new body style 545i at the dealer. I picked it up the next day.
Of lesser extreme, I was at best buy the other day (hate that place) picking up a video game for my daughter and walked out with a new ipod. As soon as I got home, I thought "what the hell do I want this for?". I love it now. |
|
I thought guns were illegal in IL. |
|
|
On monday I bought a new Kimber 84M in .308 and a VX-III to go on it...
It is for the $2400 Quail/ Aoudad guided hunt I am going on that I was the high bidder on at a charity auction... My two recent impulse buys... |
|
Wow....if you can afford to impulse buy all that you can afford anything.... |
|
|
I normally try not to buy things on impulse, but last month there was a Browning Gold that was just staring me down.
|
|
Latest impulse buy...
last night after realizing again the world is coming to an end, I bought $250 worth of Mountain House food direct from MH. Their just down the valley from me and my tin foil collection |
|
I also Impulse bought my fiancee's engagement ring at $4200, but I am making intrest free payments on that.
Other than the ring and the car payment I'm debt free. I try to buy everything with cash, exept for today cause I don't carry 3 grand on me. My impulse buy today will be paid when the first bill comes. I once bought a Berretta 96 on a Gayland's Credit Cared cause they offered 20% off the first purchase over $500 and intrest free for a year. I got a gun for under cost and payed for it when the first bill came. Being debt free is the best feeling in the world. I love saving money so I can splurge every year or so. Also, no morgage and no kids, no wife, helps I'm sure. I love America. |

Just today, I was at my dealer's store, getting the paperwork in hand to take to the Sheriff for my inbound can, and there was a Sig 220 that just about snuck out with me. Man that was close!!!
|
|
gus, the Sig 220 is an excellent buy, if it was two tone you should go back right now!
|
|
Nah, I just bought a pistol in December (USP 45 Tactical) and I cant' buy any more until I get one last MG. Maybe two. |

The two happiest days in a man's life: The day he buys a boat. And the day he sells that boat. |

I just walked into the campus bookstore last week. I saw a $160 Physiology book on the shelf that looked good in its red cover. I got that. I also got about four various lab manuals for $50 a pop. Then I got a Cell Bio book for $100 just as icing on the cake.
Total cost: $460, and I have something to do in my free time! |
|
what did you pay for that? How big is it in your hand compared to the HK or Glock? |
|
|
I was driving home from the bank with the title to my vette in hand (just paid it off)
Saw a newer one sitting at a car lot pulled in and traded *sigh* 4 more years of payments but hey |
|
I almost impulse bought that XD.45 today but I had to draw a line somewhere, right?
I was impressed on how strong the grip is being that it is so thin. In a blind test you could not tell that it was any bigger than an XD 9. |
|
Take that to the bank folks! |
