Did the buyer do you the ultimate favour...
...by taking the wife, along with the Howitzer...?

Definately a bargain, I would say... ;)...!

LOL...!

That's why my ex-wifes eyes had dollar signs dancing in them.

Also, the pistol is a semi-automatic?

Yes, it is a semi-automatic .22 pistol.

If you're looking for laughs you can't beat the first (and only) time I was invited grouse shooting with friends (who were rather posh) and they said all I had to do was dress appropriately and bring my own shotgun.
So being a young soldier I dressed in suitable clothes (combats) and "borrowed" a shotgun from the armoury.... a Franchi SPAS-12! Everyone looked at me like I was some sort of mad terrorist :o Oddly enough I've never been invited grouse shooting since......
I mean what is wrong with turning up armed with an automatic shotgun? ;D

A Franchi SPAS-12 12 gauge has always been my dream shotgun..... :o

At a $1,000+ USD it will remain on my wish list of weapons for along time.... :-[

According to wikipedia its illegal to own one of these, as it looks too scary.
Saiga-12 does the same for less $

That's how it usually is. Take the polymer stocks off and replace them with some nice-looking wood and the panic seems to wain, but it's the same weapon..   ::)

Which makes me wonder...  how many firearms are there out there that "look mean" but have pretty much no bite?

More worryingly how many firearms are there out there that look harmless but can do terrifying amounts of damage?
