You have an addiction. Drastic methods are called for.

TAM's points are all valid, and his generosity in helping you with this is commendable.

However, I have a safer safe and would let you check it out more often....

I just couldn't help myself. Don't judge me.

Please post your impressions of it after you've had a chance to go to the range and carry it around. On paper, I really want one of those, and would love to hear the reports of someone who actually owns one.

We are here to help. Let's start with your childhood. Did you have a fascination with toy guns growing up?

DON'T get started with AR rifles. 1911s and ARs - you are lost forever even Excaliber and TAM can't save you.
