Robb shows off his latest gun:
Now, for those of you who say “Robb, that looks more like a kitchen”, you’d be depressingly right. I wanted a Kriss… Instead I got a leak in the sink that destroyed the counter and thus had to replace the entire kitchen instead.
Yep. Last year I spent a 1911 on new gutters. Last month I spent an AR-15 with a nice optic on scheduled maintenance and brakes for two cars. This month I spent a Glock on new bathroom floors.
Heck, I still don’t own an AR-15. I was telling someone the other day that every time I have a thousand dollars of disposable income rolling around I wind up buying camera gear. With work and family obligations I’d shoot the AR-15 a couple times a year, versus using the camera gear at least once a week. If the zombie hoards arrive tomorrow they’ll have to settle for being shot with a $125 SKS.

re: AR-15
I’m in a similar boat, with a family and continual incidental expenses. Part of me thinks if I gradually did the DIY route, I could probably put together the whole rifle over the course of 9 months without the budget noticing.
Main exception to this plan is the upper. It costs way more to build the upper, considering all the specialty tools, and some risk of botching it up. So no way to avoid dropping ~$500 at once for that part, assuming you desire some quality.
Same here. I’ve got a lower and about 10 magazines bought during after Obama got elected, plus another 10 magazines bought after the Jeffords shooting when there was talk of a magazine ban.
I could put together the rest, but when it comes down to it I’d probably rather have something else than an AR-15. Even on the gun side I’d rather get a pistol because I’d shoot them more often.
I dunno, in I Am Legend, Will Smith’s bathtub/bathroom seemed to play a key role in zombie defense, so home improvement deserves at least a little respect in the TEOTWAWKI community.

I, fortunately, do have an AR-15. I bought it in 2000 when I received an unexpected company bonus. However, since then, I have had three kids and my company forgot about any bonuses. I can count in years how long it has been since I shot my Bushmaster.
