Amen. And know that no one can put a value on the years you use it other than you. What's your life's time worth?

Why is it that when we buy a new car, we don't worry about how much it will deprecate in two years but when we buy a gun and enjoy it for how many years we have to break even or sell at a profit Enjoy the gun and have fun.

Send me a PM for a list of overpriced guns i have for sale, I’m sure you’d enjoy owning a couple of them.
