Wish lists
The guns I want, in no particular order:
Remington 700 ML, .50 – its the whole “heritage” thing, plus the bragging rights of saying I bought a fifty cal for under $500.
Remington 700 VS LH, .308 – A left-handed reach out and touch someone piece, and pay no attention to what KDT says.
A high-capacity SAR-1 – yeah, its Commie. Nah, I don’t care.
One of each of the guns used as the official Army infantry rifle, from the 1795 Springfield right up through the M-4 and maybe even the XM-8.
The American pistols for the same date range
The rifles of America’s enemies, from the Brown Bess all the way to the AK-74
Its just a start, of course. What prompted all this? A trip to the gun shop and a realization that I can’t afford anything I want just yet.
Sigh. Soon, hopefully.

Take me out to the ballgame
This is one of the reasons I am glad that neither Phoenix nor Tucson have two baseball teams. But you have to admit, inter-city mockery can be pretty funny sometimes.
