Panhandle Paladin 31 Posted May 12 O.K., What happened was, I went to Amarillo this morning to see about buying a new mobile home, cause the school needs my house for a new teacher. And I stopped by Gebo's farm and ranch store to see if maybe they might have an 1873 rifle in stock for sale, turns out they did. And it just happened that it was EXACTLY what I was looking for, excellent case colors, good wood, the right length, just what I have been wanting for 7 or 8 years. So after I went to my meeting with the mobile mansion sales person, I went back, and I ADMIT IT! I was weak! The price was too good! And I bought it. My question is, will I go to hell for this weak moment or can I be absolved? Please help me. I feel SO guilty! But, in my defense it is my first 73, and I have wanted one for a looooooong time. What say the S.A.S.S Wire jurists? I await your verdict. Paladin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yul Lose 3,971 Posted May 12 I’ve been told a few times that I’m goin there so I’m going to buy a big ranch down there and have a big BBQ every night and you’re invited, but from what I’m told it takes a lot more than lusting after a rifle and acting upon the urge to get you the one way ticket.

Panhandle Paladin 31 Posted May 12 Well, I MIGHT have been somewhat of a Hellion when I was younger, but I think that may have been cause I never got to go to Disneyland. And I still haven't gotten that 69 Corvette I always wanted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That’s another thread worth a couple of pages. Then it will go sideways for several more pages. Or we could just start now. This response is called a hijack.
