A friend wanted to go gun shopping last weekend..

It's not a trap, you're leading by example. Your "new to guns" friend needs a gun, it's an intimidating process the first time. You're just showing him how it's done.

This is why I prefer to shop alone. It's easier to talk myself [STRIKE]into[/STRIKE]...er...out of buying.
Yeah, "out of".

I ran into a similar problem.
I found a Black Friday deal on a gun safe that I just could not pass up. Brought it home and set it up, only to realize I now have "open" slots in my new safe.

I'll need to address that issue.

I thought that's how you're supposed to shop for a safe...?
I upgraded in September.
Bought a USMC sticker for a hundred bucks. It was discounted because it had a Stack On stuck to the back...

Just went through this myself. Took my sister gun shopping and while neither of us went with the intention of bringing something home, we both ended up with a new gun. Her's was her first gun and mine was my more than first gun.

I just hate when people "make" me go gun shopping! More than once, husband and i have gone looking for one gun, and come home with two!

The same thing happened to me at the same gun store...TWICE! I went in to show a friend and I bought and gun...he did not. Then, 2 weeks later we went again and I bought another gun...he did not. From now on I'm just going to go by myself. Seriously, I had such great service and expertise from Plainfield Shooting Supplies that I will go back with or without a friend.

sounds like me at the auction. ended up buying a bunch of ammo. some of the ammo is for 308 and tokarev 7.62 x 25 and i dont own either of these. it did come with some 12 gauge ammo which i can use though. I picked up a nice over under and still havent found the browning i am looking for but maybe this weekend

Yeah, my "friend" lured me into that a couple of months ago. Sure it was going to be a nice trip to the 1500 so he could find some AR accessories. Riiiight, I walked out with an SR9c.

So you are saying he did you a favor...

We have all been down this path. Everyone has an addictive side and right now my addiction is located anywhere they sell guns, ammo and accessory's.
I have to stay away from Plainfield shooters supply. I have been there 4 times this year and have 4 new guns.
