Well, I’ll get to pay two of them off tomorrow. I’ve got 3 on layaway now. We started with only 2, brother and I each got one. Then I called found one at the shop I used to buy from, so I snagged that one. The next day, we called around to 7 stores and found my brother a second one. The next day after that, I tagged along when he went in to pay off his first, and the original store we started at got another one in, so I snagged that one too.
The reason I did it was that the stores are in the same chain, only 1 store can be processing a transfer at a time. So to buy from 2 stores, I have to pay them both off, start the paperwork at one store, wait 3 days, pick it up, drive to the other store and start the paperwork there, wait 3 more days, then go pick that one up. My brother is in that mess right now, both paid for but transfer paperwork is only started on the one gun. It automatically denied his second paperwork as duplicate. If they are both in the same store, it’s one form and I take them both home in 3 days, not 6.
At this point, I think I’m going to keep the 3rd on layaway until I decide if I want a 3rd one. I have 2 months to work that out. Do I need a 3rd? No, I have a VR60 already. Would it be nice? Sure. Can I swing it? We’ll see. My bonus was $2k more than expected but 3? I wouldn’t hesitate on a 3rd $300 gun but a 3rd $600 gun, eh. Might see if I can get a good price out of the VR60, but I’m not sold on that either.
