If you've been in the hobby long enough then you've overpaid at some point, so let's hear about the stupid money you've spent on this crippling gun addiction that we all suffer from.
I'll start us off. It hurts to even post this, but here it goes...
During the Clinton AWB I paid $80 for a USED 25-round 10/22 magazine. During that same time I paid another $80 for a USED 15-round Glock 19 magazine. If I remember correctly I bought them both out of the catalog that Cheaper Than Dirt used to send me in the mail about once a month.
But the worst gun purchase I ever made was in late 2008 right after Obama won the election.
I had never owned an AR before and was convinced that Obama would completely outlaw them on day-one in office, so it was NOW OR NEVER for me to get one!
Me and a guy I worked with stopped by Academy Sports in Athens and they had two ARs out on the shelf. They were the only two they had and the salesman said he had no idea if they would ever get anymore. We both swallowed that bull**** hook line and sinker.
My co-worker walked out with a Bushmaster for $900 + tax
I walked out the proud owner of a S&W M&P-15 for $1150 + tax!
Alright, those are my best/worst horror stories, so now it's your turn!
