Perhaps that's why, just a few minutes later, I couldn't stop myself from bidding on a gun at the silent auction that the National 4-H Shooting Sports was hosting. So I ended up the proud owner of a Benelli Supernova shotgun - but my heart was still a bit broken, because I then had to find a local FFL holder to handle the transfer before I could take possession, call it my own, and take it home. Oh, the pain!
It's kind of a lovely pain, though, since at the end of the rainbow there's a brand-spanking new gun for me. This will be one of very few brand-new guns I've ever had.
