I was not going to buy any guns this year and put my "play" money into my father / daughter hunt and maybe a cruise with the girlfriend or at least another trip to Galveston (LOVE the Strand !!)
Now, I see all these new guns coming out , I'm re-thinking.
What are ya'll going to do in 2020? Buying any new guns? Going on any hunts?

I don’t know of any new guns I want. I’ll probably spend it on reloading supplies, glass, match fees, etc.
The secret to a long life is to try not to shorten it.

All the above... except the cruise or girlfriend My perfect answer. Seriously, I'd do the hunting trip but I have tiny children and have been dreaming for 4 years now about such a trip.
I'm a dude who likes long barrels!

Hunting.
This house build has had me watching customers of mine putting animals on the ground the last two months, with ammo I made, and rifles I orchestrated for them. Happy for them, but I've felt like I'm missing out. So, for 2020, I'm hunting. I've got more than enough nice rifles and pretty decent pistols than one man needs, so I'm going to go use them.
Buzz, you'll cherish photos of you and your daughter hunting more than photos of guns. And when you die, you can Will those guns to her, but she would rather have the memories and photos of hunting with you. You also have plenty of nice rifles and pretty decent pistols than one man needs.

Buzz, I've got two on my bucket list. STI Staccato S & W Shield PC .380 We lost our lease 2 years ago, and for 2020 come hell or high water, hubby and I are going to book a hunt. Even if it's only shooting fire ants in Nebraska.

Just picked this up for my son in 10mm. Waiting on a RDS to show up and then we will be headed to the range. Should be a fun little toy.

Wife and I are saving for a new house, so the plan was not to buy much of anything...but then she goes and starts hunting and steals one of my guns. Now my boy has taken a liking to another one of my guns. Ugh.

Buzz, can you make it 2 months without buying a gun? Start off in baby steps.

The Fireman nails it once again.
I’m building one specific use rifle and then I’m gonna figure a way to get a thermal. Everything else will be set aside for tags I hope to draw and planning hunts for the future.

Gotta replace a stolen (long ago) handgun, other than that: 4 days East Tx. fishing, 4 days chasing Smallies on Erie, 4 days hitting a little white ball with a stick at Myrtle Beach and finishing up with a bucket list trip to S. Dakota for pheasant.

Who are we kidding? It's an election year and even though we are all confident Trump will have no problem getting reelected, the run on ARs and ammo will start around July/August.
Buzz, resist and take your daughter hunting. Buy a good camera and start framing the great photos.
