Just being honest ...
Maybe I’ll go halves on the price of the gun, unless I get Anoreth’s tax refund again (I have your W-2 and 1099, Butterfly), because she has expensive taste in guns. I could get a lot of French grape juice for the price of a pretty weapon, especially if I hit the sale at Total Wine.
I might be picking up a 1911 in a couple weeks anyway (via a completely legal sale in this state, of course.) Guy wants to sell it for 300 bucks.
