Why do I feel so good after buying a gun(s)?!

[capitol]

I just purchased a Bushy M4 Patrol Upper and I just feel happy. Driving home I felt good inside, singing to the music playing on the radio, whistling, etc.

I dont feel like this way when I purchase other stuff

I know the feeling. I find myself doing nothing but watching youtube vids and day dreaming about my purchase during the 10 day wait lol. Then when I finally get it home I can't put it down for a week

Man oh man do I know what you're talking about...the high is incredible!

I think it's more than just the firearm; it's anything related to what you like or firearm-related. Heck, I ordered a $10 sight for my Marlin and am giddy as h**l waiting for it to ship tomorrow. There's a very Pavlovian feel to it. I will laugh if there is a "Firearms Purchase and Endorphin/Dopamine Release" study, and be the first to sign up, especially if they'll fund my purchases using grant money.

they dont call it an addiction for nothing. just be careful, less you find yourself on your knees in a back alley just to shoot a pellet gun

I get that feeling over a muzzle device lol. Sitting and waiting for the package at the door anticipating the delivery truck.

I bet our caveman ancestors got giddy over new spear points too.

the problem is it wears off, then you have to get another one

I only feel good after I've held the firearm I purchased. Purchasing it, waiting over a week, and calling the store because you forgot how many days its been and feeling like your soul's been crushed because it's only been nine days all takes a toll on me. Congrats on the purchase, though. I share that feeling of euphoria for matters involving copulating and firearms - whether or not they're mutually exclusive is still up for debate.
