You'll probably earn more down the road, so what's to worry about? Better to have too many guns than not enough.
Real easy, most of my current stuff is C&R with hard to find ammo, and a lot of that was inherited....how do you justify buying more?
Ahhhh. I understand your disease better now. Yes, it is a great problem. Someday, I'll do a post on the 'true' cost of buying a new gun. When I bought my Taurus PT-145, I thought I had made a great deal. $299 retail. But then I had to buy .45acp dies, a new kind of powder, a box of Laser-Cast bullets, 3 boxes of factory ammo just to try, and to get some cases to load, a cheap holster to get by until I get a real holster...Its a conundrum. I'km thinking the rule of thumb is, the 'true' cost of a new gun is double what you paid for it. But I need to do some more research to verify that.I'm not set up to reload .45 ACP yet. Why? Because, I want another pistol. The thing is; It's like this never ending cycle. Guns take accesories to use.
That's why rifles have bayonets. Ammo or not, a Mosin will still get you.You should always have more ammo than guns...if you don't have ammo all you can do is throw an empty pistol at 'em!
