…but it wasn’t anything like Martin Luther King’s, or ABBA’s dream, nor about Joe Hill (no link because Commies), and sadly, it wasn’t about Cass Elliott.
No, I dreamed that a wealthy Reader (who looked a lot like Ginger Baker, FFS) offered to buy me three guns, with the caveat that they couldn’t be guns I’d owned before, nor any old guns at all — they could only be new guns.
At least it wasn’t cars, because then I’d have been in real trouble.
Anyway, I woke up without having made any choices, but the dream has kinda stuck with me all day. And being prevented from getting a gun that I’ve owned before makes the list really short, because… well, you know.
So after some considerable thought, here they are, the top 3 guns I’d like to receive as a gift:
1 – Dan Wesson Valor (.45 ACP)
Some may consider this a cheat (because the 1911 is old, and I’ve owned several in the past); in my defense, however, I’ve never owned a pocket 1911, nor anything made by Dan Wesson. But I’d love to, and this one makes my bang-switch-actuator itch. Badly.
2 – Ruger No. 1-S Medium (9.3x62mm)
Never owned a No. 1, nor any rifle in the venerable 9.3x62mm. I would even consider going on an(other) African hunt (but with Doc Russia and Mr. Free Market) if I could take one of these.
3 – A.H. Fox FE 20ga (as made new by Connecticut Shotgun Mfg. Company)
This beauty ticks all the Kim Boxes (side-by-side, double trigger, straight stock, 30″ barrels) and if the Dan Wesson was disqualified because rules, I’d just get a matched pair. And then I’d head off to join Mr. FM in Dorset later in the year, you betcha…
Anyone else had a dream like this one?
