Home defense package complete (slippery slope)
As much as I am trying to stay off of the slippery gun slope, I just can't help myself. This stuff is addicting. At the recent bequest of my wife, I picked up a new compact Bersa Thunder .380 handgun for her (It is a surprise for our 10th anniversary, although I did pick up a diamond watch also, per my daughter's wise suggestion
 ) I have always owned guns and served a stint in the Army Reserves which probably lead to my weak moment awhile back when I just "had" to build up a Rock River Arms AR-15 (for those pesky woodchucks). Last night while perusing the aisles of Cabelas, I happened upon some cool looking tactical shotgun accessories and before I knew what happened, I was walking away from the cash register with a top folding stock, foregrip and an 18.5" barrel for my old Mossberg 500 pump shotgun! I threw it together last night and showed it to my wife. She was unimpressed and mentioned that she wanted a handgun not some wacko looking commando type abomination (looks like she will indeed be happy with her new anniversary present after all.... I will rub this in good with my daughters who thought I was nuts for buying mom a gun as a present  ). I just need to add a mount for my Surefire flashlight and maybe some ghost ring sights and I will be ready for the cat food stealing varmints this spring! Before and after pics

Yep, they have the stuff I have shown at Cabelas. I originally found this stuff on-line at various gun sites, but seeing it in person, I had to buy it right then and there! The stuff is pretty cheap, but functional. The stuff I bought was from ATI. Google: ATI Mossberg shotgun stock and you will find a bunch of this kind of stuff. There are better and more expensive choices for law enforcemment types available from other manufacturers, but I am happy with this stuff for my occasional use.

Why is it that all the fun things in life are dangerous (motocross, whitewater kayaking, aerobatics, fast cars, downhill skiing, guns etc etc)? One of these days I may yet prove my mother and grandparents right. When I was a teen, 25 yrs ago, adult employees where I worked used to joke about taking out a life insurance policy on me (looking back, I think they were serious! ).
