Default Need Help in a Big Hurry

If you believe in God at all, pray for me for. If not, send out positive vibes into the universe on my behalf.

I'm in a gun store and fighting back what appears to be inner demons telling me to buy a new rifle. Right now it feels like the demons are many, and winning the battle. My strength is waning

Damn, that title had me actually concerned for you for a second there. Don't do that!

Just buy the damn rifle, you know you need another one.

If you buy a new gun and everyone else buys a new gun, then I can say to my wife; "see, everyone else is getting a new gun!"

No pressure

Those aren't demons urging you to do that, they're the trio of good buddies that live halfway between the little cartoon angel and little cartoon devil that reside at either ear. Listen to them.

You need a shotgun more than you need another rifle.

Default Alas, the demons won.

I regret to inform my prayer warriors, as well as the positive vibers, that the battle has been lost.

Bergara B14 Ridge in 6.5 Creedmoor left the door of P&D under my arm.

I just somehow hope that in November, this defeat can be turned into a victory, as I try to show that moose have not evolved to the point where they have bulletproof armor. Should I be successful, then though I lost the battle, the war will have been won.
