    The suffering is real

    My lunch hour is exactly one hour. At 11:58 I hop in my car and book it out to 2A Zone (Thanks guys!!!) to pick up my shiny new baby; a Glock 21SF. Google Maps tells me the drive is exactly 30 minutes. I make it there in 28. Ring the doorbell, sign the papers, thank them and toss it case and all in my trunk (responsibility and deference to the law). I pull up to my office at 1:02 and stroll inside.

    Now I'm sitting at my computer, thinking about the poor Glock, sitting in a case in my hot trunk, NOT being fondled, NOT being fed a snapcap, NOT having the trigger squeezed over and over.

    The suffering is real.

      Thanks! Part of me was tempted to take a "sick day" so I could spend the afternoon at the range, but professional guilt got a hold of me .

        Really a productive day for you. Ask for a raise for more ammo.

          A total of 4 minutes? 11:58 to 12:02? Man, you're good.

            JTROKS you reminded me, I want everyone on Calguns to bear witness to my solemn oath; until six month to the day I shall not purchase anything gun related that is not ammo or range time, on penalty of forfeiture of my right to hold a credit card.

              Oops, typo 1:02! It was a quick trip but sadly not that quick or I would have had 58 minutes to fondle it in the car! (phrasing)

                    Well you could just be up front about it, go into your boss's office and exclaim...

                    "I have a gun, and I don't really want to work today!"

                    Wait, I guess that could be taken the wrong way. Either way, you'd probably have the afternoon free!

                        Food for thought. Nylon 6 melts at roughly 428* F (short term)...

                        ...but think of how much lower then that when it might get soft after a while in there.

                          Whoa...hang on there OP...are you ok? MAN...you do not look well! All sorta pale around the gills. I don't believe you should be at work right now. You should go home and take care of yourself!

                          You're welcome!

                              I try to fondle a gun or two every day.
