Operation gun magazine drop.... success!

[CraigC]

Part with a shooting-related magazine, are you freaking nuts??? I have every shooting magazine I ever bought, going clear back to 1986. Most of the info is as relevant today as it was then and most of the writers were better 20yrs ago. I refer to them often, just as I do to my books, some of which were written nearly 100yrs ago. No sir, I'd never part with any part of my library but I don't see why you couldn't buy a subscription to be sent to the office of your choice.

Thats cool.

I have several i keep if i find them relevant to what im into. I also have 6 memberships to the NRA for myself, fiancee, pets (LOL).... so i have all of the same magazines and many duplicates and stuff im not interested in myself so those are what i just drop off.

as to buying a subscription to the place you choose, i would assume several of the places ive dropped mag's at wouldn't want to know they are getting a steady diet of gun mag's... i just don't think they would welcome that into their establishment.

JOe

Great idea, I'm going to do this too

 

[CraigC]

I probably should've stipulated, I never even read the NRA magazines, much less keep them.

Any mags I don't like I take up to the oncology dept. at the local hospital. They vanish within days. All they usually have to read is Golf Digest (doc's) and ancient issues of either Newsweek, Cosmo (med asst's), or Elle (nurse's). Guys see a Field & Stream, Petersen's Hunting, even Guns Magazine and they absolutely flip! Had one fella getting his chemo spot me seeding the book bin with a short rack of old Outdoor Life issues. He shot me a wink and a nod in thanks; his wife was reading an issue of Cosmo that was three years old. I know; I read that same issue in the same chair his wife was in.

This is a great idea.

I only recently got back into guns and shooting, after a 30 year break,

and what spurred it was a minor event. I went into a pawn

shop, and saw a S&W SS 500. Just sitting there in the gun

case, looking humorously large. I never even priced it. It just

kept me thinking about it, and now I'm back to target shooting

again.

Lots of my docs already have such. The dentist, GP, internist, etc.

I can talk to them about shooting with no looks of horror. In fact, the GP told me to get out more as I need the relaxation.

Must be TX thing.

I used to remove the labels and take them to my office. We had a table in front of the restrooms where people deposited all sorts of media for others to read. Too bad they fired me a few months back. Now the gun porn is all starting to pile up next to my chair in the living room.

I already do this. I do this with my Ham Radio and other hobby magazines too. Anything besides a 2 year old Time magazine to read while sitting there waiting on my appointment. And it keeps the mags from piling up around the house.
