My affliction goes kinda like - Wellll, I'll just sell this really old one to pay for this newer one but then when I get the old one out to take pictures for ad, I think - Welllll, I've already paid for that newer one and I'll never get what ( twice as much as older one is really worth) as I think older one is worth and I've already gotten this newer one paid for so I think I'll wait another 25 years for this older one to be worth twice as much as I paid for it. You know ALL guns appreciate in price.
I feel the strenght growing inside me!

I suggested to my best friend who also has "The Affliction" that maybe there was some sort of meetings or therapy and such that we should be going to and he told me the shooting' range was open from 8:00 AM to 7:00PM and maybe we should go more often.
I was doing really good. Called my sponsor to get through some tough times. I guess it was the stress of the holidays or what I don't know, but had a setback. Hello. My name is Dan and I have a problem. It has been one day since I bought my last rifle.
Holidays are the toughest times. I bought my wife a new pistol for Christmas. It throws all suspicion off of myself. Anything but another intervention!
I feel a flare up coming on. I've been vaccinated (wife with a cast iron skillet), but I no longer have 30 cal. magnum and keep reading posts on this forum that is causing a relapse.
Magnacron 30 is a very serious and contagious strain and the vaccine (iron skillet) has only proven to be effective for a very short time. I had that early on. the cure was one 30 magnum rifle every 4 months until symptoms subsided. Good luck, I hope you beat it brother.
Hi my name is Aaron and I'm a ballistiholic. I'm new to the forum but not to the affliction of ballistic addiction. I failed to notice the other day that I was having a conversation with myself about my gun safe within earshot of my wife. I uttered the words, "I'll just sell my muzzleloaders!"... She wasn't amused to say the least..lol
I guess I'll have to make a trip to the jewelry store soon. It's amazing what affect diamonds and platinum has on her

Mine of 33 years made the mistake on July 17, 1997 at 2:08 32 seconds PM of saying "I DONT CARE HOW MUCH YOU SPEND ON GUNS" during one of our more energetic conversations. I dont remember anything else from 1997...thats my story and I'm sticking to it.Hi my name is Aaron and I'm a ballistiholic. I'm new to the forum but not to the affliction of ballistic addiction.

I wasn't talking to myself about buying a safe, I was having a conversation with myself on how to make more room in my current safe for new rifles...lol
I live in Indiana, and I primarily hunt deer. My gun collection has evolved with the Indiana hunting regulations. I used modern inline muzzleloaders exclusively for several years. Then moved to straight walled cartridges. Then finally to high velocity rifles, when they were finally allowed.
I have found safes can be a real limiting factor in the severity of the disease. If they were not so expensive and heavy, I would probably be in real trouble. It is very easy to sneak a new rifle in the house. Not so much for a 1000 lb. safe.
