what is one thing you wish you knew before getting into guns?

[crogers]

I wish I told my dad to keep his Lewis gun when I was 3. Would have been nice to have a full auto in the family.

Two things really:

1) the winning 649 numbers
2) to buy all the ammo I could afford 20 years ago (with my 649 winnings)

How I would constantly be upset and stressed at people trying to take my guns from me.

Buy all of the Colt Pythons (or any snake) you can, don't shoot them, just store them for 30 years and laugh at all of the idiots that bought gold.

Stay away from cgn. I had some level of self control until I found this place...

If you could go back and give yourself one advice before getting into guns and buying guns, what would it be?

Find a wealthy girlfriend who hates her ex husband--Dieseldog!

Not sell off handguns expecting to be able to buy more later when you move to Quebec.

Is "buy cheap buy it twice" a warning, or an alternative to "don't buy entry level crap"?

Wish I had had the sense to get into firearms before the 12-6 status / classification changed. Missing out on some beautiful firearms.

1. Save more money than you think you need, the good ones cost more
2. Don't buy something that will almost do what you need
3. Save more money, optics are far more expensive than you thought
4. Buy it in the caliber that you actually want, don't settle
5. Save more money, you will want far more guns than you have money for
