Members KATMAN Posted August 22, 2010 Members Share Posted August 22, 2010 I'm torn bewteen buying another used gun or a guitar,around $350. I want a semi auto .40 caliber,but I also want a new non electric drednaght too. I don't have a semi auto,but then again I don't have a non electric dred either. Oh,the pain! Decsions,decsions,decisions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bernie P. Posted August 22, 2010 Members Share Posted August 22, 2010 Which .40's are you looking at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fastblueheeler Posted August 22, 2010 Members Share Posted August 22, 2010 Gun GAS can be as bad as Guitar GAS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hoddy Posted August 22, 2010 Members Share Posted August 22, 2010 In these uncertain times...I'd go with the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scarywoody Posted August 22, 2010 Members Share Posted August 22, 2010 Well, I can not foresee a time when the Government would prevent you from buying a guitar. I would get the handgun while the getting is good. I have a Glock 23 (.40S&W) and it is a great pistol. Get a conversion barrel and you can go 9mm or .357sig.

Members Chirpy_72 Posted August 22, 2010 Members Share Posted August 22, 2010 For your stated budget you'll get a lot more gun than guitar. Go with the gun. I just brought home a Sig Sauer P239 SAS Generation 2 in 40 S&W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jerry Atrick Posted August 22, 2010 Members Share Posted August 22, 2010 I say get the guitar. You can't take a gun on stage and wow a crowd (in a positive fashion). Besides, if you have an intruder you can always whack him in the head with your guitar I'm no hippie, I just have more fun playing guitar than shooting guns. I'm gonna take a "shot" in the dark and say you prolly own other guns that you can use for protection, so it's not like you'll be caught naked should you need to use one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members panhandler Posted August 22, 2010 Members Share Posted August 22, 2010 Get the guitar. I've never heard of a guitar accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Danner Posted August 22, 2010 Members Share Posted August 22, 2010 Get the gun, prices are fairly favorable, and they will surely rebound over the next few years, as the economy recovers. I'd look for a Glock or S&W M&P. Also, if we get some further hints of gun control legislation, prices will skyrocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm as liberal as they come, and I see no danger of any government ban on handguns, shotguns, or rifles. If we were talking about a machine gun or an assault rifle, perhaps. But this country is nowhere even close to banning guns used for personal defense, hunting, or target practice. Are there some liberals who would like to ban guns? Sure, but they're not the majority, I think, even in the liberal camp. There are conservatives who form militias and talk about succeeding from the US. Should we worry about that next time a republican gets elected? So, everybody relax, we're not coming for your guns! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BLUtunes Posted August 22, 2010 Members Share Posted August 22, 2010 If it were me, I'd get the gun. The guitar can wait. In fact, I'm looking for a .40 myself, as soon as I turn a couple of my other guns which are at a local store on consignment. I'll probably go with another CZ though. I LOVE those things!

LOL... really? Try that in Chicago. See how long it takes you (if you can even get one). They've ALREADY seceded from the U.S. :poke: Buy the gun, then use it to steal the guitar of your dreams!

My favorite gun quote:Texas Ranger Charlie Miller was minding his own business when a concerned citizen came up to him, noted the hammer back on the big 1911 dangling from the Ranger's belt, and asked, "Isn't that dangerous?" Charlie replied, "I wouldn't carry the son-of-a-bitch if it wasn't dangerous." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members andy thompson Posted August 22, 2010 Members Share Posted August 22, 2010 Do guns scare you that much? {censored} yeah, was in this place where they went hunting a fair bit, this chap walks in with a 12 bore that wasnt broken, I dived out that door, all that devastation with one small movement. Mind you I could do the same driving one day. I guess it says more about my lack of control, I dont even feel safe holding a hammer for long periods.

Members Jersey Jack Posted August 22, 2010 Members Share Posted August 22, 2010 LOL... really? Try that in Chicago. See how long it takes you (if you can even get one). Yes, probably true--living in the NYC metro area I too find that gun laws are too strict. On the other hand, making guns easily available in inner cities doesn't seem like a good idea, so I suppose too strict is better than too lax. Chicago is the murder capital of the US these days. And, by the way, I'm not sure why a little inconvenience (to keep guns out of the wrong hands) is treated by some folks as if guns are denied. You have to go through some red tape, sure, and that's annoying, but it's less annoying than having some crazy go postal with a gun he/she probably wouldn't have had if an adequate background check had been done.

Members Etienne Rambert Posted August 23, 2010 Members Share Posted August 23, 2010 What makes Britain great, makes Manchester yet greater. fmPHgmpcIBA You get more gun for your money in that price range than you get guitar. Get the gun. It's value has a greater probability of increasing in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
