I can’t find anything close on the used market for $200.
I had an epiphany yesterday after reading through this thread. I suddenly have the warranted belief that many gun people, shooters, whatever you want to call them, have a very narrow opinion of gun ownership, primarily their reason for gun purchases, usage, etc. their opinion of what a gun is for. Their view of a firearm, be it a hunting, sporting or defensive firearm. I just don’t look at every gun I purchase and think thoughts like:
Trust my life, self defense, combat, SHTF, etc...
I do consider such when it comes to a very few of my firearms, but I just can’t wrap my head around how there’s so much focus on the idea that firearms are somehow purposed only for hunting game or shooting people, or practicing to hunt game or practicing to shoot people. I swear I’ve been an avid gun collector for nearly 40 years, shooting for 50, and I just don’t get it, and many may disagree, but yet I see all too often the primary things people consider, by their own admission mind you, when buying a gun. I almost and probably should have started a thread to air this out, but for Pete’s sake ain’t there so many other reasons to own a gun?
....somebody help me down, the air is thin up here.
