If I wish you luck twice and you win can I shoot it ?

If I wish you luck thrice and you win can I shoot it ?

If I wish you luck all day long and you win can I house it for you  ;D

But if you get one, you'll instantly turn into a gangster! At least that's how the media portrays those who own machineguns.....

Good luck!

No, semi-auto with the ten round stick mag only in MA....that's fine with me though!  The cool factor is, well, cool!

OG!, But it is the bee's knees, still, you never know when it will be confiscated up there. I will volunteer FREE storage in the gun friendly state of Fl.

Never mind, I'm closer and we have never been WITHOUT concealed Carry. I had my permit before Fl even had a law.

Yea, what HE said!  I only have to drive up the hill to Tom's house!

Besides, that nasty, salt impregnated swamp you live near will rust up the reciever!   ;D

If you don't win, you could always go this route.  Just for fun.

They probably shoot to left anyway being as their made in MA...

My plan, if I win, is to shoot a couple of mags from it and sell it for about 400 bucks under retail list!  Any takers?

I don't know Timothy, I've sold some guns for cash, and money is tight for me these days. I can see the appeal, but.......if you do win and sell, I'll bet that $400 you'll always regret it because its a gun we all like and few of us can justify buying. Getting rid of one dropped in your lap, that's just dumb. ;D

Good luck Timoty,

I really, really hope that you win.

Maybe if I start wishing for the future Tommy porn that you'll be posting, it will provide some good luck. Consider it done.

I said about 400 bucks under list....the gun retails for around $1450.00.  Someone wants to give me a grand for it?  I'd sell and buy 2-1/2 Glocks!  Gunbroker is selling those for about 40 grand I hear!

Then, TLC will pick up my new show..."Flipping Firearms for Profit", our motto:  "Gun Owners are EASY!"  I'm thinking the little hottie Paige Davis will be my co-host!

Better hope Mrs. Timothy never sees this thread  ;D

For the first time in a while I have to agree with FQ, even if you get a grand, what are the chances you'll EVER get another Thompson ?

Oh, OK, I'll keep it.  You guys just wanna have the chance to shoot it!  Tom especially because I can drive right up the road!

I was SO looking forward to my new show!  Paige is REALLY cute! ;D ;D ;D ;D

Good luck! Those are so much fun to shoot! My dad used to have one (With THE REAL stick mag.... 30 rounder.). Accurate too. 8)

Best of Luck. I hope you really get it.

I have coveted one for many a year, but, alas, will probably end up single before I get one. :-X

So YOU WIN IT!!

Title: Re: Wish me Luck!

The drawing was Friday and the results will be emailed to me this coming Friday...still waiting!
Title: Re: Wish me Luck!
Post by: twyacht on September 07, 2009, 10:20:07 PM
Like that Heinz Ketchup Commercial,...................

If you win it, I would like to be on the "short list" to shoot it....

This, of course, after the other 5000+ members will be asking the same thing... :P

Good Luck Timothy.....

At least when you get the winning notice this Friday, it will make 9/11 into a much better date for you.

Here's hoping. I expect a victory posting in large, bold, print. :)

No luck this time, thanks for the well wishes.

You'd think with a name like Timothy Sean I'd have a little bit of the luck of the Irish!

Instead, my exhaust system fell off the car on the way home from work.....At least it's not fuggin January....laying on your back under a car sucks.  In cold weather, it REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLY SUCKS!

That IS the luck of the Irish. That's why they won everyone else's wars for Independence, but had to fight 600 years for their own.

Actually, it was a semi-auto with a restricted mag and I didn't win the drawing!  Someone else did. :'(
