I guess you could apply this to almost anything that you have an interest in provided you can fund it without going into debt to do so.
I really don't see myself being that blessed as to afford what I seen as a youth adult. I was working at an HVAC/R company and I had a service stop at a customer. His entire basement was a shrine to all the different firearms he had, I remember drooling at his collection of High Standard pistols, at the time I was into them.
But his handgun collection was larger then most gun shops and nothing was kept in a safe. As for me, I told him where I was a member and that I shot mostly trap and skeet at the time, but my father had a few high standards. Funny, how those who have a little knowledge can spark up a conversation with someone you just met and get to know about them and their interest and forget the entire reason for your visit.
I remember him kidding with me about belonging to the gun of the month club and I wondered about it but never gave much further thought to it all those years ago.
Anyone here hear of such a club?
