ArkansasHunter · 12-26-2007, 08:15 AM

You just Won the State Lottery 12 Million Dollars !!! What are some of the things you'll BUY ?
More Gun's ?

Windwalker · 12-26-2007, 09:32 AM

New home located in the middle of 80 acres. No close neighbors that way. Some new guns and a new vehicle. Then I would try to help some others in need.

bigbuddy21 · 12-26-2007, 10:43 AM

i would have my own private range set up for pistol,rifle,airgun,and skeet with the best you could buy in all category's

OldTimer · 12-26-2007, 11:25 AM

50+/- acres with state land on at least 2 sides, custom-built log cabin and a cottage on the beach in NH. Just to start...

jmp8927 · 12-26-2007, 12:39 PM

Pull $100,000 out for new car and a couple guns. Put the rest in the bank to draw interest for 10 years.

HandsomeRob · 12-26-2007, 01:07 PM

wow thats a lot of money too much for me really. I'd give a mil to my sisters family, a mil to my girlfriends family, and take 5 mil and put it in the bank. I'd become a lifetime NRA member. I'd buy a yugo sks with grenade launcher, a yugo m70 ak, a m1 garand, k98k mauser, a ruger hawkeye and a remington 700 (shoot I got 5 mil left why not), Bunch of ammo for all, a nice gun safe for the guns and important documents, buy a new family car, a house in a good school district with a nice chunk of land, some new clothes for the family. Basically buy some guns and a better place to live then spend it on practical stuff. I've come to realize I don't have a lot of stuff but what I do have makes me happy.

toolman · 12-26-2007, 01:48 PM

I'd buy a huntin' license, some of them newfangled long underwear, and some o' them fancy .22 lr. hollowpoints for my deer rifle! Then I'd get mama a new spool of thread so she could sew up that big tear in the seat of her overalls.

jashoffa · 12-26-2007, 02:12 PM

If I won the lottery, and I have thought abou this even though I seldom play.

I would become a farmer. I would buy at least a 1 mile by 1 mile section, buy the tractors and other machinery I would need and become a farmer. Why you ask. Because it is the best tax shelter in the the United States. I would be a crop farmer, no livestock. This way planting and harvesting would be most time consuming and I would have time for myself the rest of the year. I could manage the farm ground in a way to promote wildlife and have ample hunting ground come fall.

Of course 12 million would not all be needed for farming so I would invest the rest and have some added investment income. I would build a nice house but nothing too expensive. I would like to have a couple of pickups that I could use for different things. The wife could have what ever car she wants and life would be good!

Seabeescotty · 12-26-2007, 02:21 PM

I think I'd pay off my place, finish outfitting the gunshop, give a mess of it to the kids, and use the rest for a nice warm winter fire. That stuff can be EVIL!!!!

ArkansasHunter · 12-26-2007, 02:43 PM

I would have a small ranch with atleast 1000 acres. I would have a big Garage/Barn
to put all my tools in and the tools I would buy.
I would have a Big but not real big Brick home built and it would have a Gun/Game room to display my Guns in.
I would buy a Black in color Ford F 150 4X4 reg,cab truck lifted with B.F. Goodrich all terrain tires for my ride.
I would buy a very few more guns and live happly ever after...A.H

troy2000 · 12-26-2007, 07:45 PM

I asked an old farmer in Oklahoma a question like that one day, and he replied, "well, I reckon I'd just keep on a-farmin'...till it was all gone..."

juice · 12-26-2007, 09:08 PM

buy a 300 acres and build me a house for the family then stock up on all those guns i've always had my eye on

meatloaf · 01-18-2008, 06:39 PM

my arsenal woul rival the national guard.I would apply for every type of gun liscense there is and blow all my money on ammo..............of course my wife would have to be ok with my plans first.

ArkansasHunter · 01-18-2008, 06:43 PM

My gun collection would get an Extreme make over. I would buy a new 4X4 truck and customize it.
I would go on hunting trips and invite members of Gun and Game.
I would take my wife on trips and buy here bigger Diamonds.
Herbert would have a full time Butler.
I would buy a small ranch ...A.H

MosinGirl · 01-18-2008, 06:51 PM

I'd get some property, build me a nice house, a huge barn for the Quarter horses and Paint horse that I want, a huge garage for all the cars my husband wants, put some in the bank, and blow the rest on guns and ammo.

Manda in Kent

Cyrano · 01-18-2008, 11:41 PM

I'd pay off the mortgage and the car, set up a trust fund for my son, buy enough land someplace with civilized gun laws that I could set up a firing range so I could go shooting wherever I liked, get all the FFLs required so I could legally own full-auto weapons, and tell my wife after I had done all this that I was going on a long vacation and she was not invited. Maybe I'd be back, and maybe not. A lot would depend on whether she could get an attitude transplant; too much grief given to me and too little attention to me and my needs on her part for far too long.

If that were ever to happen (fat chance - I have a better chance of being hit by lightning!), I would have a chance to pursue MY dreams. While that might be selfish of me, I'm tired of my needs and feelings and opinions having to take a back seat all the time. Everyone deserves a chance to be happy, and $12 million spread out over 25 years would be more than enough for me to see if I could find a little bit of happiness for myself.

billy · 01-19-2008, 12:09 AM

id give it all to the hari krshna's if they promised to stay out of airports and stop bugging folks on the streets.

SpecOpOperator · 01-19-2008, 09:27 AM

Definitely invest in Hollywood realstate... buy a decent size home on some acreage, set up trust funds for the kids, let the fiance go to the Mall of America, and of course, buy my toys too..
As for my toys:
Land Rover Defender 90 (with all the goodies of a good 4x4)
Jeep Rubicon lifted, locked and ready to rock
Kawasaki KXF 450
Yamaha YZF450
Guns, guns, more guns
Nice general use boat
RV.. not to long, but big enough to live in for a couple of weeks
Plenty more stuff, but thats still for my dreams.. can't share everything
