what would you do....
if you won the lottery?
of course pay off all debts and the like.
but after all that's done and you have like $120 million left over...what would you do?
i'd like to 1)buy one gun from every known manufacturer 2)build a place big enough to have a yearly GB get together complete with food, indoor and outdoor ranges, where we could all bring our guns and just have fun for a week of shooting, BSing and merriment. with goodie bags for all.

I'd buy a house. 0 -
I'd pay off my debts, buy a house, and buy enough guns to outshoot the Russian army.[:p] 0 -
Open an arms museum for the benefit of all. Buy land to sell at a much higher price later. Charter a vessel to take me to Attu for artifact plundering. Have my shop renovated. Buy Shari a fishing camp. Lots of little stuff.[;)][8D] 0 -
The moment the last ball pops up, I'll retire, because I don't want someone in a position to sue me. Next thing would be to get a vasectomy. Then I would retain a good attorney.
I'd get a bigger house, because I'll need it. Then I would concentrate my efforts on getting at least one excellent example of every firearm used by the US Military since it's beginnings in the Revolutionary War. They would be then displayed, along with an original newspaper of the corresponding period showing what significant events were happening at the time.
I would set aside several million dollars in an interest bearing account, and then use the interest to run a series of advertisements lashing out at the unconstitutional aspects of gun control legislation.
I'd probably get an unscrupulous doctor, and arrange for a clone. I'm sure I would be needing one for the spare body parts (liver, heart, lungs etc.) I will need after a little while of enjoying the next couple million. I'd have a little room in the bigger house where he would be cowering in the corner, afraid each time the door opens. [:D]0 -

I would landscape my current property (complete with lake), buy a
bunch of the surrounding property and build houses for all my kids,
and buy everything we'd need to make it a somewhat self-sufficient
little community. Then do whatever I wanted with whats left over.

Buy a bunch of land out west and open my own outfitting service that caters to disabled individuals. I would make blinds that were wheelchair accessable, shooting/fishing aids for para/quadriplegics and patent my motorized treestand.
Returning disabled vets would hunt for free.0 -
Buy another 20 acres behind this house (from dad). Let Mom and Dad have this one. Brick paved driveway all the way back there. Wife wants a bungaloo.[xx(] I could go more Frank Lloyd Wright like. House would contain lots of millwork and wood. Prairie and Mission. Brick wall around the compound and brick patio. Wife wants an outdoor shower off the bedroom patio. I don't have a problem with that. Something about an outdoor shower with brick wall that opens to the patio off the bedroom sound appealing. Gun vualt built into the basement. Office off the vualt would have a lot of oak and leather.
Shop would be look like a barn, tall in the middle and single story on each side. Probably have an apartment in the shop with the indoor pool. Yeah, basic redneck style I suppose.
Room enough for a truck, motor home, big Bobcat, and a couple of projects to start. While living off the interest, we would buy a condo outside St. Louis. Keep the second home maintenance free.
Now the key with buying firearms is moderation. The appreciation, or might I even say heuristic value, would be worthless if one bought everything you wanted at one time. Yes, there would be a giveaway like none seen here, gift certificates for LF, enough to buy 5 people 5-7's and 1000 rounds.
The problem would be "what to drive?" Truck? Avalanche? H1? Vette. Camareo? Again, the appreciation is not there if you just buy 'em all. Moderation is key.0 -
Buy 1000 acres in a Class III friendly state and build a huge victorian style mansion, and a gigantic turn of the century Barn, complete with a hay mow for parties. A huge lake for recreation would also be a requirement. 0 -
