Torn between buy a pistol and not. The to buy or to wait. I recon I have enough money to get a new FNP but thats almost a whole paycheck. I have other expences that I know of coming up. Truck insurance is taken car of but tuition is still lingering. I need to decide but I have no idea what the hell I am going to do. And then there is I could buy somthing used but i dont know about that either.

    If it were me, I'd take care of my other obligations first.

    It isn't as if I don't have a gun. If I didn't, perhaps having another would become a higher priority. But, in today's world, your credit score means everything -- from your ability to get a loan to your ability to get cheaper insurance to your ability to get a job.

    If another gun is a neccesity, I'd say go for it. But, if it is merely a luxury, I'd say put it off.

    My buddy had one of those, was a total POS Glock wannabe. Trigger broke on him after maybe 300rds.

    I would pass on that one.

    Put a bit back for your gun purchases....don't touch it...take care of your other responsibilities first ALWAYS or you will be selling your guns (at a loss most likely) to take care of yourself later.

    If you put a little back all of the time you will have a chunk of money for whatever deal you see. Don't mess up and say "I want one of these" and get screwed out of the deal of a lifetime because you were focused on a particular gun. Keep your eyes and ears open for any gun available....if it is a steal you should have the money for it if you keep putting some back.

    tuition is still lingering.You are young, place priority on your education and then you will have sufficient money for toys and other discretionary things. Focus on the priorities.

    If you can't feel the music; it's only pink noise!

    The gun is the cheap part then comes ammo, accessories and all the other little things that add up. Pay your bill first[:D][}:)][:0][^]

    Nope it definatley is not a neccesity, Now if Illinois or Wisconsin were CCW it would be but i am not holding my breath on either. I think I will wait and see what comes my way but I am not tottally sold on anyone anymore thanks Drobs. and A mutal friend between me and my father is looking for me and he always seems to find some cheap guns. Guns are about the only thing I do not have an impluse control for everything else can wait.
