5 Lamest Reasons to Buy a New Gun...

[Bully 749]

Let's hear 'em.

 

My friend has one but I didn't want the same color.

I have the reloading supplies for the caliber, but no gun to shoot it thru (this one stings a bit).

I have the same model, but I need another for parts/in case I wear it out.

This one's cheaper to shoot than the other one.

I sold one, so I need to replace it.

you know how unreliable 1911s are. better have 1 for each hand.

my glock is drying in the dishwasher, so I better have one as a backup while I wait for the 1st one to dry.

my stainless is too shiny. hence I need a tactical black.

mall ninjas always have identical pistols in both hands like Alice in Resident Evil

size matters. I need another of the same but with a much much longer barrel to shock & awe everyone at the range if not the battlefield

I can't think of one LAME reason to buy a gun. Any reason is a good reason, as far as I'm concerned. It's Monday, think I'll buy a gun.

 

[BlueLineFish 615]

I always use the same reason. I don't have that particular gun yet

[zoid 24]

I haven't done it yet, but I know I will. I thought about trading in one model

that has no rail for one that does cause I think it looks more tactical.

 

Oh boy, I used the 'T' word. Flame me immediately!

 

What's worse is I have no intentions of every buying an accessory for a rail...

"My permit is expiring"

[Damjan 73]

It takes long time to get these permits honey, so we have to use all of them

[silverado427 10,730]

"My permit is expiring"

And the winner is...

[smoothie 0]

My reason is usually always the same...... "Simply because I can".

I have the same model, but I need another for parts/in case I wear it out.

This one's cheaper to shoot than the other one.

 

Hang out with competition shooters and these are really not lame at all, but facts of life. When you pay $500 to $2000 to travel to match, you sure as hell bring a spare gun. When you shoot 10-20k rounds a year, the difference in ammo prices pay for the gun in a year.

 

The obvious lame one is "Nutnfancy said it was the best".

Yessir, I've spoken those exact words..

In the State of NJ I don't think this one is lame at all, that's a long wait! Especially

if you're in a tough township that takes half a year (it happens).

 

My township is pretty good keeping it within 30. Even still if I have the money I'm

using all the permits allotted. You can always sell if you change your mind, LOL!

[Clintoon Eastwood 2]

I better buy this now because by next year the prices are gonna go up, do you want me to buy it then?

I bought an new stock (Mannlicher) and needed a new gun (10/22) for it. May be lame, but true.

[Pizza Bob 1,488]

You need a reason???????????

[forayzor 1]

It was on sale!

 

My girlfriend is going to have those words engraved on my headstone after she offs me the next time I say it.

[mustang69 505]

I don't think there are any "lame" reasons, but here's one I can't see myself using:

 

I don't have it in pink yet...

[blksheep 466]

Everyone else has one?

[Tactical Turtle 11]

"Honey you will like this one I promise" how I got my saiga and " the baby will really like it in a few years" my 590 haha

"My permit is expiring"

 

All the time!

[tt-33 8]

the clerk handed me the wrong ammo and you cant return it

[johnp 45]

Better buy it now, so it's 'grandfathered in'.

[SoCalTrojanSoldier 10]

_{All good reasons to me}

[M4BGRINGO 139]

I always use the same reason. I don't have that particular gun yet

 

Hmmm. Already had a 686, 6" barrel, didn't have one in 8 3/8", so I bought one............

Hmmm. Already had a CX4 in .40 cal with a non-folding front grip, got another one with a folding front grip...........

Hmmm. Already had a 12g Rem 1100, but didn't have a 20g, so I bought one........

 

I probably have others, but doesn't matter to me, I'll keep buying as long as I have somewhere to safely store them!

I don't count different barrel lengths or gauges as the same gun so you are ok...lol. The cx4 is a different story.

[Sell682 1]

I usually use :

 

1. Permit about to expire

2. They could create a ban and I would never have it and I want to pass it down to my kids.
