Ode to "let's talk about" ll

There are still many times I get “the look” or asked “do you really need that?” In the end, I usually get what I want. After 13 years of marriage and almost 2 decades of being together, I finally wised up. I’ve been wanting a Colt M4 for a while. My dad and brother both have one. I love them, dad and bro too, but I’m talking about the rifle. I’m 99% sure I’ll eventually inherit dads. But I want one now. So after sifting through a midway USA ad, I nonchalantly tell my wife, “I think I’m going to build an AR.” I got the “why do you need that?” I omitted my first thought of “to stop these questions” . I told her it would be nice to have on hand...fun at the range, SHTF, home protection and a nice “you’ve earned it” gift to myself. She says “if that’s what you wanna do.” Well that was easy! I was going to start off on the build, then say, “okay, fine. Ill just buy one for $x.xx I bought another AR-15 a while back. It was a good deal, inexpensive (relative to AR-15's) and something that I figured that I could pass on to my grandson. It has since become one of my favorite "plinking" guns. We have slowed down on shooting as much as we normally do because of ammo prices and availability, but I still run a few rounds through it almost every weekend. A couple of weeks ago I bought a new "carry gun" for my wife. The Smith & Wesson EZ 380 is a nice piece... so nice that I might buy another one for myself. It's small, light weight and shoots really well. Only a few short weeks left until I can sit on my back porch and pop off a few rounds if I feel like it. There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don't. |
