How luck you guys are

CETME · 04-23-2002, 04:57 AM

I'd like to mention how lucky you guys are to own a luger. I have been in love with them since i was a little boy, but im still in college right now, and i dont have enough money to buy one.

the other day at the range here in tallahassee, i met a young guy like me. and he brings out this BlackWidow. It looked like it just left a German worker's hand. This thing was beyond beautiful. My jaw dropped. and i fell in love with it. Apparently his dad collects and sells them, and when he turned 21 his dad let him choose whichever one he wanted. I dont think he truly appreciated what he had.

I'm 21 now old enough to buy one, but school takes up most of my money. One day i'll own one. My whole point is that you guys are lucky you have them in your homes and can hold them and shoot them whenever you want. My day will come! =)

I'd also like to say Hey to Tim Canney. He's a good guy!

As you are, we once were. As we are, you will become. This getting old ain't no deal. Be patient, keep your eyes open for good deals, and stay in touch. The subject of what to do with guns has come up before. Who knows?

Your appreciation of fine firearms isn't wasted because you don't YET own a Luger. When the time comes it will happen. In the meantime, all you need to be a part of this forum is an appreciation for the history, design and engineering of the pistols we lovingly call by the name of their inventor Georg Luger.

I'll second all the other guys notes to you. Your luck arrived when you got a good dad who clearly is steering you in the right direction.

You are luckier than I am. When I was your age I was desperate to own anything that could shoot. I had no idea Lugers were anything special. When you reach my age you will no doubt have a great collection of Lugers to play with.

Thanks guys for all the advice and pointers. Roadkill, very well written, ill take those words to heart.

Guys, I'm almost positive i got this job at TCBY for the summer. I'm going to work full time at $5.40/hr. Ive never worked for that cheap, but hey, its slim pickings around here. I'll do it for the Luger. At the end of May ill have enough to buy a Decent Luger. So if anyone has an "extra" one that they wouldnt mind sending to a good home. Let me know! =) thanks again guys
