You don't know what I own so your statement was either a troll or a
result of your narcissism.

As usual, you are wrong.

an M45 with a low number may be collectible some day but right now it
is the state of the art handgun according to the military. This was
pretty much built to spec ops specs.


It was a raffle gun that I plan to shoot. I have seven guns that are
considered to be collectible in the sense that the value *should* only
increase with time. They are all new and remain unfired. I have a
pre-ban Colt AR15 that I don't shoot but it is not likely to gain as
much in value. For shooting, I have a Windham Weaponry AR15 that I have
only slightly modified.

Like a baseball card collection, most of my guns are not unique, or hard
to find, but they help complete my collection. My Beretta 92FS Inox,
for example, is a common gun but also an important part of my
collection. Some, like the Desert Eagle .50AE, are easy to find but -
unique.

Harry and Don hate everything they don't own so I don't let them bother me.

In the past few days you made a post without the childish name-calling. It was
refreshing.

You might, at least in this, follow Harry's footsteps. You've surely noticed he's not
engaged in any name calling since my proposal to him a week or two ago.

Interesting that you mention that. This raffle was a charity raffle
that supports a horrible, and usually fatal, childhood disease. Last
year I donated over $5000 to them. I also donate to other charities but
it's fun to have the opportunity to win something while I do it. I have
also "won" five Ruger gun auctions that benefit the Matt Light
Foundation - look it up, they support kids. Those auctions totaled
roughly $7500. In March I will be touring the Ruger facility in NH and
also spending a day at their range with Matt Light. I also bid $7800
for two seats to Saturday Night Live. That money goes to - you guessed
it - a children's charity.

That's about $20,000 to children's charities for 2015 and roughly $5000
to other charities. I don't need you to tell me where to donate my
money or to decide how many guns I need.

Who has benefited from your contributions this year? There's still
time. Take a look at charitybuzz.com You might even find something you
can afford.

Peace


Most likely Don won't acknowledge that you put him in his place. But, I will.

Good job.

Are you driving or flying to NH? If driving, plan to stop by. We have a spare
bedroom.

I've always liked the look of that gun. It's a nice change from black
or stainless.

Beautiful gun. Congratulations. Somewhat similar to mine:

I don't have a Colt .45, but my eye keeps getting drawn to them. One of these
days...maybe.

Nice gun! You are welcome to join me at the range any time you are in
the area, John. Plenty of different calibers to try!


It's fun to shoot, and with the sale Dick's had on ammo over Black Friday weekend,
it's also very cheap to shoot! The grandkids put several hundred rounds through it
last time they were up here.

At least he shut up. He's a strange guy.

I'll be flying. It's too far to drive and my friend from TN is meeting
me there so I'll be traveling solo. I appreciate the offer! I do want
to take the wife to DC for a vacation. She's never been there and there
is so much to see. We have a lot planned for 2016 so it might not be
next year but we'll take you and your better half out to dinner if we
can make it work!

Merry Christmas, John!

Watch the really cheap ammo. It makes it tough to clean the barrel.
CCI can be found for a half-penny a round more than the green box (I
forget the brand).

Just let me know when. I always like to take visitors to town at night for their
first visit. Most of the memorials are much more impressive under lights, and the war
memorials are especially nice at night.
