Another Shoot it or Not?

[GypsmJim]

You marry a very beautiful young virgin, and keep her untouched.
You buy a mint '65 corvette with 2 miles on it and park it in your garage...
You buy a a gorgeous S&W 27-2, and question whether or not to shoot it...
You die and some guy takes your un-virgin for a ride in your '65 vette to the shooting range for a day and night of fun fun fun!

Any more questions?

That's so good I just cut and pasted it in my "forever to save" commentaries..

Thank you for sharing...

It belongs to you. Do what will bring you the most pleasure: if that is shooting it, shoot it; if you would be happier knowing you have one you think is unfired in the safe, keep it as is; if you consider it an investment, don't do anything to compromise its appreciation; if you bought it so your heirs can gaze on its pristine beauty and praise your name when you are dead, seek help.

Investment, schmestment. What are hopes of a return? - double your money, triple?

So, you make a thousand bucks in 20 years. Chickenfeed. To me an investment is something that supplements my Social Security for life, not buys me a new gun and a Sunday dinner with the wife.
