The gun shop called one day, "you need to come down here immediately - we have something you've been lusting for."
H&K SP89, perfect condition, complete in the box with all papers. Owned. I should never have bought it, as it really has no useful purpose other than assassinations. On the other hand I knew if I didn't buy it I would always regret it. I keep it safe from any bad guy (other than I) having it. It's black and evil, and.... I would appreciate any other good excuses that you can think of.... So it's mine, and is the Queen of the safe, it's a beauty, and looks soooo good when you SWING that safe door open. My 2 boys think it's totally awesome, and both want it when I die.

That is a good impulse buy. Hedonist. May I ask how much you got it for?

2 choices. SBR it and make a PDW clone... Or, get a registered sear pack for it..and make a PDW.

Yeah actually I didn't buy the boat, to have a boat, my dad and I used to go out on his boat all of the time until he had to sell it to pay for my schooling, Well long story short I wanted to in my own way say thanks, so I bought a boat so that he and I could have that time together again, the look on my Dad's face when I told him that I bought a boat was worth every red cent that I paid for it, and he knew exactly why I bought it as well. |

Went to the gun shop to trade a Winchester 94 for another lever action rifle or automatic shotgun. Did not trade and walked out with a Benelli Nova pump shotgun.

Went to a gun store once in SLC with a friend. Not interested in buying anything but went in to browse while he shopped. I walked out two hours later with a NIB stainless Taurus M85 for $219.
 Same friend drags me to the big Allied store closing sale. Stand in line for an hour to have a crack at remaining guns. Luckily I was close to the head of this line and was able to pick up a beautiful NIB walnut/blue Browning A-Bolt hunter II in .300 Win Mag for $375! Didn't really need one but couldn't pass up the price. I think regular price at time was $525. Ended up putting a Leupold Vari-X II 4 X 12 on it and used it for my deer and antelope gun. |

F/A is illegal in IL. How do they get away with having it for rent?

Yesterday I go to see Denny to visit with him and ask about the GTS lowers he now sells. Before I asked if he was in, I am looking around the store front to see what toys they have. I spot a spot AK with a under fold stock like the one Denny posted he just got. Before I got to see Denny, I ended up buying the AK as I have always wanted a nice looking underfolder.
Today I go back to exchange a damaged magazine I had bought yesterday... and leave with a Arsenal M7. I need to go see Denny next week. I gave directions to not allow me to look in the store front before seeing Denny! Impulse purchase... One Yugu M70AB2 underfolder One Arsenal M7 a dozen magazines I am almost afraid to go back next week! |

My friend you will be making payments related to that ring for the rest of you life. Enjoy blowing the cash while you can, once you get married you effective income for toys will go to half. |

Depends on where/what county you're in in NY...you get out of the major urban centers it's not hard to get a non-restricted permit  Hell, you can't get it if you don't ask for it....(dunno if you took any of the NY permit classes or anything; if you want more info IM me) <-- moved out of NY last summer |

I'll call BS on that!!! You're still gonna revel in the freedom of not having to ask the family court judge for permission, for a long time!! BTW....while I was home on leave, in Washington State, a Kimber Desert Warrior followed me home....kinda sucks the fun of impulse buying out of you, when you have to send it to another dealer in NY, submit a request to amend your pistol permit to the judge, wait a week, go back to the courthouse to get your permission slip, go back to the dealer who is holding it for you, AND then bring it home!!! Live it up, Ed!!!!

That's pretty much how I got my 525; walked into the store and said "got anything in an O/U 20 gauge?" Shop owner (who knows me pretty well) says "Have I got a deal for you!" Seems a guy came in the previous week and bought a new 525 in 20 gauge, went to his weekly shoot and his friends made fun of it, so he brought it back and traded it in on the same gun in 12 gauge. He took a hit on the trade (apparently he was a major PITA; this shop is known for good deals, and I got a 525 with less than a box of shells through it, with fitted hard case, for an extra $400 off their already discounted new gun price. As far as impulse purchases go, the best (worst) would be the day I walked into a big gun show at the end of 2004 and bought a Thompson, M16, two M11/9s, and a Beretta BM59. You can figure out the total

At the time, more than it would have cost me to buy a new C5 Corvette. Of course, the guns have gone up in value, the C5 would be worth much less.

Why the demand for the two-toned P220? I've got one on hold for $650 NIB, are they discontinuing them or something? |

I was cruising the EE. Saw a new 9mm OLY upper so I snapped it up. I already have a 9mm OLY but, oh well. Left the house stopped at a gun shop bought an M1A and asked do you have any Colts. They helped me carry out the M1a and the new M4 MT. When I got home I ordered magazines and ammo for both guns. That was a hell of a day!
