Right on Drew !!
I worked for my uncle in a Western Auto hardware store when i was in high school in 70's making 2.50 an hour. Got hired on
in Indy at a "large drug company" started at 4.25 an hour and
thought i was going #2 in tall cotton. Bought my first S&W, "a model 19 nickel 6", for 215 bucks and had to scrape and claw to get that saved up. It's all relative. Everything rises in price. I'll keep the nice ones i have now and one day
when i need some money "hopefully long down the road" I know i can make a few bucks more than i paid for them.
I'd rather have my guns than a pile of silver or gold coins/bars
because i can enjoy the guns so much more.
