Stop is a four letter word!
Honestly, I bought my first hand gun "for home defense only."
Being me, I wont have or do something where I am not knowledgeable and proficient (expert would be nice but proficiency is sufficient LOL) So, I took it to the range and found out how much FUN these things are.
Then I shot a friends milsurp (VZ24 I think it was) and Mosins are cheap.....and so the milsurp hunt began.
Then I shot a friends AR15, and so began my tinkertoys for adults obsession.
Then I shot a modern bolt gun, and commenced the quest for precision. Just starting this one, but have added a pre-64 M70, couple 700s and a Howa 1500 to the mix.
Loading was a natural offshoot to feed all these darn calibers.
And, so I can shoot at home, well suppressors had to come along didn't they? 22 goodness in the field, and maybe a blackout or 2, right?
I now have a "collection" for home defense only.....
I may take years, but I have found it CAN be done.
Oh, by the way guys, if your wives don't approve, you need to find a way, any way to get her involved. I happen to be a woman LOL and my income goes to GUNS. (Well, after the mortgage, car and food, but right there!)
