You guys are all worrying about what your wives think of your stuff. I've got that one by the short hairs, I don't have a wife. Hah!

The girlfriend is a little baffled by my stuff, but at least she sort of collects a few things herself. A girl that has the flea market urge isn't as hard to get along with when it comes to stuff as a woman who just wants everything new and useful.

My worst problem is shotgun shell hoarding, I have no idea how many rounds I've got but it's scary. Just bought a box of 1 1/2 #2 and #4 Remingtons at an estate sale the other day because hell they were only $5 a box! I'll add them to the two cases I have of the exact same loads.....

Well, Destry (rides again?) you have a couple of things working for you. If your girlfriend buys something at a yard sale then you have an excuse to buy a few more boxes of shotgun shells. Neat, eh?

Concerning collecting shotshells.....can you bring yourself to shoot them? That might be problematic.

I'm afraid of the anti-gun backlash from the Colorado shooting. They are trying to limit the # of shells we can have. As all shotshell users know, we buy them by the case. We have to because we shoot them by the case.

I have yet to buy some through the mail, but I want to.

Say, I've got a few boxes of old shotgun shells that go back to the 60's. I'll list some if you are interested, before I shoot them up that is. I've shot almost all of the old Win AA's at skeet/trap. The rest are 2's and 4's, etc. A bunch of 3" 20's that I'll never shoot. Some are quite old.
