Title: Things you want that you just can't have
Post by: Phyphor on October 13, 2010, 12:34:58 AM: To start this thread off, I have to say a Beretta CX4 Storm carbine..... unfortunately, California is made of epic fail and won't trust me with a frakkin' pistol caliber weapon because it has a THUMBHOLE. GRAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!

Post by: taurusowner on October 13, 2010, 04:03:52 AM: A short barreled AR carbine. I really wanna get an AR with the shortest barrel possible for interior shooting and also as a concealable SHTF rifle. Something that I could conceivable put in a backpack or satchel. I just really like the idea of having an SMG or SMG sized rifle for quick and concealed use. But alas, the residents of Michigan are not to be trusted with such things.

Also, a Zat'ni'katel

I won't rub it in too much but I got one of these last year for a good price used and it is AWESOME. I bought it right before our summer shoot and everyone loved it and shot really well with it. I'm just saying...

Post by: BridgeRunner on October 13, 2010, 12:40:49 PM: A Pelikan Niagara Falls LE fountain pen. X-fine nib.
Oh, what the heck, while we're wish-listing, custom-ground to a very slight italic.
I think it retails for $400, and custom grinding is at least $60, plus logistical costs, like getting to fountain pen show to work with a nib grinder in person.

A trap gun and the chance to get good at shooting it. Maybe someday, but it's going to be at least a year or two until I am physically able to do high volume trap shooting and probably a whole helluva lot longer until I can afford a trap gun, a case of shells every week, and range fees.

A chance to play judo again. My shoulder is screwed to the point where any martial arts are probably impossible and high-contact martial arts like judo, especially with the kind of brawny way-bigger-than-me guys who tend to get into judo would be exceptionally stupid.

The last ten years of my life back. I spent ten years getting treated for the wrong illness, and lost countless money, opportunities, grades, reputation, normalcy, etc.

A few safes full of guns. Or heck, just A safe (and also to have qualified with rifles for my hunter's exam class) so I can buy atleast a couple of long guns. Looks like I won't be able to do so until summer, unless I can get the cash (probably expensive as hell) to get an examiner out there to sign the papers.

Post by: S. Williamson on October 13, 2010, 06:00:23 PM: A wide range of explosives and a junk yard where I can use them to my heart's content. =D

A small fleet of aircraft ranging from a Cardinal 177RG to an L-39 Albatros to a Gulfstream V (but someone else to fly that one), with a private airport capable of handling all of them, with hangar space.

A workshop, and tools to sufficiently fill it.

A shooting range with distances and berms from 1-1500m, with no limits as to what calibers or projectiles I can shoot, from what position, nor how fast.

A small "shoot town" for airsoft and paintball matches.

A decent plot of land where four-wheelers are required during warmer months and snowmobiles in the colder ones. Varied terrain a plus, a stream or small river even moreso, and a pond or lake would be fantastic. Open land, forest, a few hills, maybe even a mountain would be perfect.

My list of guns and at least 10,000 rounds apiece, plus sufficient storage capability for it all.

My list of cars and motorcycles, and sufficient space to store them all. Added bonus of ample room to keep them all in good repair.

My ultimate house.

I'm in the middle of a massive possession/responsibility reduction project. 90/99% might be unattainable, but a little goes a long way. It's a lot of work for me, because I'm trying to squeeze every penny out ofthe stuff we're getting rid of, but if you can afford to donate or trash it, it goes pretty fast.

After high school I went to school in Israel for a year. Took two bags with me, one mostly books, one clothes and kitchenware. The simplicity was so good.

Post by: White Horseradish on October 14, 2010, 01:15:07 PM: Money-wise about a half a million bucks would take care of just about everything. I could pay off what I owe in various places and get my car painted with a bit left over for a couple of pallets of ammo and a Maxim gun. Then again, this isn't anything I can't get, it's just that getting it would mean a lot less time with family and a lot more stress. I'm not sure that being a bitter wreck with an ulcer would allow me to enjoy it.

I already have a wife who is the envy of all my friends, and that's only from the stuff they know about. My family is more awesome than I could have possibly imagined. Heck, I'm even on relatively good terms with my mother in law.

What can't I get? A suppressor, maybe. Not legal in Minnesota. But, I could move and get one...

I think I got it - 20/20 vision without surgery would be nice.

There's never been much that I've really wanted that I couldn't get if I was willing to work hard enough and be patient. It always comes down to a matter of time.

To that end, I suppose lower taxes are something I really want. The higher my taxes are, the longer it takes me to get the things I want. The lower my taxes are, the less time it takes me to acquire anything monetary in nature, and the more time I can spare for pursuing the non-monetary things in life.
