Retail fatigue: Anyone else notice this?

[White Horseradish]

Dirty stuff. Hate it. S&B is cleaner AND cheaper. I tried it once, I have never seen my poor P220 look like a charcoal smoker chimney as with that crap.

Plus it's $5 more per box at Walmart than either Blazer Brass or S&B at a local gun store. Explain that?

I'd explain it if I'd ever seen it. At this point, the best deal in my neck of the woods is Sportsmans Guide, and in 9mm Wolf is the same as WWB.

Besides, don't you like cleaning your guns? 

[Manedwolf]

I don't know, it seems like they realized that if they get in lots of cheap ammo and price it lower, it moves quickly, and people buy guns, too. Shockingly new business model there.

As for cleaning, I don't mind cleaning. I do mind when I'm on the fifth patch or so and it's still black.

[freedom lover]

Take a shower you damn hippy.

I'm no damn hippy. 

Why don't you like to shower every day? 

I don't like showering because I have to get up at 5:40 to do it.
I'd rather sleep a little longer. High school starts early enough as it is. It also makes my skin feel funny.

That said, I do shower, I just don't like to.
Besides, a little body odor should be tolerated like it used to.

The key word is a little.

[Balog]

Just teasing FL. Did I forget the smilie?

I just shower at night before bed. Never understood the "I'll get nice and clean, then go out and get all sweaty and nasty before climbing into bed like that. Ick.

[280plus]

My favorite was the guy who didn't shower ANY day and smelled so bad someone finally told him about it. So the next day he came in smelling like a years worth of BO intermingled with deodorant, which only made it worse. Like we're talking a whole new form of funk here. Even worse than a goat. 

 

[freedom lover]

That's funny.

Edit: I feel kinda sorry for you. I just couldn't stop laughing.

Stinky hippy, meet Mr Hose. Mr Hose, meet stinky hippy.

[Tallpine]

You guys don't know nothin' about BO until you've ridden on the short haul car on the Alaska Railroad

[280plus]

Oh, I don't know, this guy had a little closet where he kept the ciggies and he used to go in there to do the count. I would have to go in there to get him to sign off on my paperwork. I swear the funk hit you at the door like a friggin' WALL. He had like this impenetrable funk force field.

Well, yeah. 

[BridgeRunner]

Even worse than a goat. 

Seriously dude, stop sniffing the goat.  You should not have a basis for comparison here...

At least it goes to show how he knows fistful so well.

[280plus]

Oh, you don't have to get very close to a goat to smell it. 

[MicroBalrog]

It's all junk now.  I stick the extra money in the gunsafe now, sock it away for roadtrips.

Buying more guns, comrade: You should try it.

[AZRedhawk44]

Buying more guns, comrade: You should try it.

Nah... I've got plenty.  What I need is expertise on the ones I do have.  Only so much that 1 guy can do with a dozen long guns and another dozen handguns.  I've been paring down, keeping the regular carry guns and the particularly meaningful ones that I don't shoot but really like.  Eliminating silliness from the long gun safe.

What's the good of SKS's, Daewoos, AK's and FALs cluttering up my safe and chewing into my shooting time when I'm perfectly happy with my M14 and AR-15?  At this point, I want to be able to claim that I've shot out the barrels on each of these rifles, and have my gunsmith re-barrel the M14 after 7500 rounds or so, depending on how it lasts.  I wanna do my AR myself as it starts to open its groups up.

I'll start buying more guns when I've got family to put in some trigger time with me.  Until then, I'm pretty good with what I have.

If Obama wins, you won't be able to buy any of those guns again.

Ever.

How many people who were of age to buy machine guns before 1986 now regret not doing so?

[Headless Thompson Gunner]

If he doesn't want those guns in the first place, he shouldn't keep them for fear of not being able to buy them in the future.

I get where he's coming from.  Far more useful to have just a few guns that do what you want and that you can shoot well, than to have a safe full of guns aren't useful to you and that you don't shoot well.  Better to concentrate your resources where they'll do the most good. 

And, I know this may seem like heresy to some, but there's more to life than owning guns.  Those resources could do all sorts of other useful non-gun things for him, instead of being tied up in the gunsafe needlessly.

[coppertales]

We used to go mall cruising but, as said above, all the stores now carry the same things.  I have not been going to gun shows either because the golden age of milsurps is over and ammo is too expensive now.  I really don't need anything so I don't go store cruising.  I used to go just to babe watch but the younger generation, the ones that still have nice bodies, are porkers, hefers, etc.  Doesn't anyone take pride in their looks anymore......chris3

[lee n. field]

Shopping for things no longer has attraction for some basic reasons.

- Everything is the SAME, from far too many of the same stores with the same stuff.

- Everything, or mostly everything, is of poor quality.

Noticed this?  Dambetcha I have.

I can't handle malls.  End to end, not one thing I want. 

Not.  One.  Thing.

I don't even like to go to Border's anymore.  My interests anymore tend to be a bit specialized.

The only place I can handle is the gun store.  The real one, not Gander Mountain.

How many TVs do you need?

Zero.  It's a waste of your precious time.  They should pay you to watch.

The troubled with you "jaded" consumer guys is you have rich inner lives.

Don't you know that inner emptiness is the reason behind shopoholism? grin

I 'spect so.

And there are hundreds of thousands of people who bought machine guns after 1986 that will one day regret doing that too.

Same like all the people who bought pre-ban rifles at triple the price in 2003 lived to regret that.

They will not ever be legalized again. There's no way that will ever happen.

Blasphemy!!  The Obama will rule over us and over our children for time unending!  For Peace is in His Right Hand, and, lo, Government Cheese He beareth even in His Left Hand.  May His reign be glorious.
