+1. Many gun shops have two prices. The cash price and the CC price.

Nah, I ussually save alot of money and it adds up over time or specials stuff like taxes ussually turn into fun money. Unfortunatly the credit card has been resorted to for ammo and cleaning supplies which cost more than the guns ><.

For me it has been a combination of side jobs and eBay sells. I don't have room in my current budget to fund gun purchases. I am trying to get all of the bills paid down before my wife quits her job to stay home with our baby (that will hopefully come along soon).

I know where the government gets ITS gun money from:

1) Using the guns. In exchange for not using their guns on us, we give them money so they can buy more guns and write laws about how we can't buy guns for ourselves.

2) Selling Drugs. They use their guns to take drugs away from people here and in Columbia. They then sell these drugs to different people here and in Columbia. They use the money to buy more guns and confiscate more drugs to sell.

Our government is such a great role model for the kids.

As to how I pay for my habit...

Double income (both software professionals each with 20+ years in the field), no kids, wife like guns too.

Shooting is our primary hobby, but we still spend way too much on pistols, rifles, shot guns, ammo, scopes, C&R collection, etc., etc.
