Well Honey, it followed ...

me home. 1894 Marlin in .44 Magnum. Yes I know it isn't a Henry but I like it anyway. Already have dies and components to load my own. Now the fun begins!

Did not have a Marlin 44 mag follow me home. But, I had a Henry 30-30 follow me. So, I can relate. My wife, not so much. She thinks one is more than enough. But, my daughter did buy me a gun case for it. So, it is becoming part of the family.

As William Blake, the poet, wrote: "You never know how much is enough until you've had too much."

I'm not there yet with guns. May never get there, in fact.

So... now lemme get this straight. “Home” means it’s home, as in with you? We need pics!

Gonna have to warm up a bunch first before I do any outdoor shooting! Gives me time to scrape up some dinero for a Leupold VX-R 1-4 optic!

Well you know, almost anything is possible. I have been thinking about a shotgun or maybe another lever action (if I find one at a decent price) or maybe a nice 38spl for the wife. She seems to like shooting my 357 with 38spl. But, time will tell.

Most certainly! Have a VX-R Patrol on an AR15.Absolutely the best optic I've ever seen for short to medium range.

Too many guns? :roll: When the big safe got stuffed... :cry:
I added another safe. :P

I don't look back at the things I can no longer do, I just look forward to the things I still can.

I added one of the Sentry long gun safes, and made it disappear. :roll:
Ah, not from the wife... never. Just prying eyes.

I always figured its easier to beg for forgiveness than asking for permission. Just seems to work out better.
