So a guy walks into the confessional and tells the priest that he has been faithfully married for 23 years but he just had sex with two 19 year old chicks. The priest says 'wait, slow down, how long has it been since your last confession?' The guy says 'I've never confessed, I'm Jewish'. The priest says 'then why are you hear telling me this?' The guy says 'heck, I'm telling everyone!'
Ok, So this is not a hand gun, nor is it a hunting gun, and 'two chicks' don't appear anywhere in this tale, but I had to tell you'se guys.
I'm a handgun guy. I like 'em. They make me happy. I realize long guns have uses, but for me, they don't do much. All my long guns are guns that match up to my pistol calibers. Lots of lever guns. Well, I have a 1911 and had a hankering for a long gun to shoot .45acp's. I didn't want a highpoint, I never was that much of a fan of 'Planet of the Apes'. I'm having a spring shoot at my place next Sunday and wanted to get a new toy. So I ordered an Auto Ordnance t1.
http://www.auto-ordnance.com/Firearms/Thompson-T1.aspNo, it is not a full auto, and it has a 16" pipe, but boy what a hoot to shoot! This thing weighs in at the chainsaw range and just sucks down the ammo, but it sure is fun. I did a write up over here:

If you have all the guns you 'need' and have been working on the 'want' list, give this one a gander. It scores really poorly on the practical scale, but the cool factor is high.
