    Guns are like Doritos

    Is it normal that once you have purchased your first gun, you just keep going back for more? It's like... DROS a gun at the shop... wait 10 days... Return to the gun store, pick up and DROS another gun... Wait 10 days... Return to the store and DROS another gun... Is the process designed this way to keep you coming back or is it just an efficient use of time, since you have to come back anyway?

    Yeah. They plan is to get gun owners exhausted having to go back and forth and wait. Doesn't work on a of us. I only planned on buying one gun this year. And I already got 7 more by end of June

    You think you have what you need, and then you think "It would be really cool if I had this thing too"

      Ugggh... I'd take out a second mortgage, and buy everything I want at ONCE. That wears me out just READING it!


      Aww screw it. I'll just stay here in a free state.

        next time you buy a handgun, add a rifle and shotgun to your dros too!

          Unless your the most utilitarian gun owner out there, or your one of the most "casual" of casuals, it's a habit that never ends.

          My usual excuse is most of the guns I want to own are no longer in production, therefore if I find one I don't know when the next one might pop up, so its usually best to buy it now instead of later.

          Had to resort to a "wish list" with details of what I want for me to curb the spending habits.

                  Well, it is not normal for those of us that buy new handguns.

                    Yes, they are like Doritos. I just DROSed a G21SF and put a gun up for sale to pad the cost, and got offered a trade. Seriously considering just keeping the extra pistol now..... Cause why not

                      Why would you go and do a crazy thing like that? Just kidding, someone has to take the retail bath!

                              Stay away from 1911s and lever guns and you'll be okay..
                              It takes a lot of balls to play golf the way I do.
