Well friends & neighbors I have been fortunate as of late in that I have had some unexpected extra money that came in. With that (as I have already posted) I was able to order a new Handi-Rifle and today after a whole lot of looking around over the last six months I bought a new .38 Special. I had talked to many including Ed Harris about buying one. What frame, what barrel length etc.. Deep inside I new I wanted a snubby. Why only a 2” barrel? Heck, I don't know, I just wanted something different to play with! Anyway, I bought a Taurus Model 85B2. I looked closely at a S&W SS .38 Special with a 4” barrel but it was a little too weighty in that I just wanted something smaller & light. I've had Taurus handguns and they always served me very well. So now, it's just waiting on the background check. Let's see, any arrests . . . no, mental defect . . . no, restraining orders . . . no. What other checks is the United States of Maryland going to come up with??? Anyway, am looking forward to getting my new toy.

If someone else had of done to me what I did to myself . . . I'd have killed him. Humility is an asset. Heh - heh.
