    I really like woman, in fact my mother was a woman. I was raised and taught by and large by women. I owe most of the good things about me to women. My daughter is a woman. I would not want to be without women or guns.

    Want and need are two different things. You should never go into debt for something you want and be careful doing it with what you need.

    I’ve always found it easier to make decisions on what I want to buy rather than what I am willing to sell. So I guess I have a lot more than I need.

    I don’t have a lot of pairs of pants. I’m sure I have more guns than pants. I never thought about it that way before. Does that mean I’m addicted?

    IMO, Faith in something, like a deity/God, & if nothing else, faith in yourself, might also be something to add.



    Other than that, as far as I see things right now... the rest are desires/wants.
    Maslow's Hierarchy Of Needs comes to mind.

    a 150-200$ scope will last you 10 years when taken care of.

    150-200$ is considered a normal DATE cost in a city like Chicago or New York.

    a typical engagement ring costs as much as a super grade model 70

    My WANTS are 2 categories.
    1) Every caliber I don't yet have, with 5,000 rounds practice ammo each. and
    2) A woman that doesn't talk.
    3) I know, there's no such thing as # 2,...so I'll take # 1.

    Seems like this started more as guns and loads but has drifted to many other things. Robert Craft didn't need to visit a message parlor. He just wanted to........

    Back to guns. I enjoy using heavier loads in my cast guns.
