The last time I contemplated buying a high end gun as an investment I bought 10k worth of Apple stock, 1992. Buy equities to invest, guns to carry afield and enjoy.

I hope everyone realizes my comments were pretty much meant in a tongue in cheek fashion.

Over all I've pretty well broken even on most guns I've decided to sell over the years.

My biggest problem is in some way's I'm like a teenager that falls in love at the drop of a hat. Where one moment I'm totally infatuated with one gun until the next pretty thing comes along that I just know I need to take to the prom.

The frustration sets-in when it's time to break-up with the old girlfriend and you know it could get messy, frustrating & costly to do so.

Guns don't care when the next thing comes along. With women, you can't even think without getting in trouble

Default A motto.

“With women, you can't even think without getting in trouble.”

If I were a matrimonial lawyer, I would render that into Latin and put an abbreviation on my business cards.

“Et mulieres, vos non potestis cogitare absque facere periculum.”

What's the Latin word for castrate?

Told my wife just to loosen the screws on the butt plate or grips in the case of pistols. Look at the note underneath for the price I have written, and the date. Then add 10 percent for every year since that date. I'm hopeful of living 2000 percent longer. LOL

My Parkers will remain in the Newell family. Thankfully my second Newell cousins, CHris and Tom will inherit my Parkers
