My Lucky Day...

[tombogan03884]

OK, got my IRS "rebate" check - auto deposited in my account. The hard part is what to buy. Not because there is a long list of possibilities - like most of us here I have a very long list of goodies.

No, the problem I have is one I hope no one else has. My rebate check was $23.50.  And no, the decimal point isn't in the wrong place. I got twenty-three dollars and fifty cents. Not quite $600, eh?    

What happened ?

Well...I finally got my check. So I went and picked up the little LCP this weekend. I like it a bunch. It is exactly what I was looking for in a summer carry gun. I stuffed it in a little IWB carried at 4:00 with a t-shirt over it...even my family didn't notice I was carrying. I had it on all day (even while replacing the water pump on my wife's Blazer) and just barely knew it was there. All-in-all, I'm pretty darn happy with my purchase.

I will start a new post once I suck the pictures off my camera and give you guys my impressions after its first trip to the range.

Congrats....dang them water pumps...always cuttin' into the ammo budget.

What check??

[DDMac]

Well Tumblebug, what it is..is..you works hard, pays in lots of taxes from your check. You plan to pay your bills and pay the mortgage, so you don't spend it ALL on total crap. The merchants want to sell you more stuff than you can pay for, but you save your money and don't buy what you don't need. The merchants are hurting because you won't spend your last nickel, so they whine to the government. The "economy" is suffering and it's YOUR fault!! The politician's answer is to give you back some of the money they didn't need to take on April 15th, leaving it with you to spend, hopefully abandoning common sense, in hopes that when you get it back now, you will rush out and spend it on the crap you didn't need to buy the first place.

That's what's the check.

Mac.
ps. guns and ammo are ALWAYS a necessity.

By buying cheap plastic guns from Europe through U. S. importers of course.I repeat WHAT CHECK?
