New gun

So over the weekend as we traversed the country side I was able to acquire a new firearm. I bought a nice new Bushmaster Varminter (its an AR-15) from my cousin. Its a sweet gun and was a great deal. I feel as though I should give a little shout out to my sweet wife who though not to sure about me getting a new gun didn't give to hard of a time about it.

You know the thing about guns in my life is I like them, some people like cars some books I myself guns. I have a few probably more than I need but not as many as I want. Once in a class that was way super boring I made two lists the first guns I had shot, probably a longer list than you think the second though was really long and that was a list of guns to own. So far I am doing pretty good I try for at least one new one a year.

Here's the other thing about guns I can still remember the day I got my first gun it was a Harrington & Richards 20gauge we affectionately named the mule kicker, killed my first duck and pheasant with it. The second gun was a Remington 870 the third a Remington Speed master .22lr. I can remember all of them, can tell you were I got them, how I got them, why I got them. And the thing is when I got this gun on Friday night I was just as excited as when I got that 870 for my birthday almost 20yrs ago or the H&R longer ago than that. In my life there is almost, almost nothing better than a new gun.

Another thing that comes to mind is gun control I pay a lot of attention these days to politics. I didn't use to but as I get older and start to realize some of the things that go on in this nation the more it worries me. Anyway there are a lot of people out there that think I don't need my guns and that guns are dangerous, and you know what they are but so is your car. My favorite thing is good old Ted Kennedy, his car has killed more people than my guns! Then there's Larry the Cable Guys nice saying blaming a gun for killing a person is like blaming a pencil for misspelling a word both are an inanimate objects used by people to complete a task if I really want to write some thing down but have no pencil I will find something else like a pen or a marker, get my point? here's another thing to think about we have been counseled to have a food storage. One day I was talking to a friend about that at the time we had no storage room so we didn't have much so he says to me I have the food you have the guns come over we'll make it together. The point is I might not have a food storage but you do, do you have a way to defend it? Again guns are not bad there tools and just like all tools can be used for good or bad.

Anyway enough of the rant I just wanted to share my excitement I am going to take a scope off of a different rifle and put it on this one so I can shoot it tomorrow it will be so much fun! I am going to say 5 shoot group under an inch. It will be awesome!
