I AM 78, 50 YEARS AN ATTORNEY, AND STILL "WORKING". I AM MY OWN BOSS, MAKE MY OWN SCHEDULE, TAKE A LOT OF TIME OFF, AND DO NOT LITIGATE ANYMORE (NO COURTHOUSE WORK). MY OFFICE IS FULL OF SHOULDER AND FULL MOUNTS, AND NO WHERE TO MOVE THEM IF I FULLY RETIRED.

CONGRATS, PACECARS!!! Probably another 8 years for me. As said, treat yourself to a nice gun, and maybe a nice holster, and a good knife to go with your new rig wouldnt be out of line.

Congratulations, I retired twice so far, first time after 26 years in the USAF and then after 17 years of being a field engineer for the worlds leading viscosity measuring equipment company. Got my FFL in 1989 while shooting competitively in and outside the USAF (cheaper way to by parts) and operated a part time firearm sales/repair business while working. Opened the business to full time in 2015 after the 2nd retirement and am still at it. Probably start tapering it down in the next few years (but will keep my FFL/SOT active) so I can get out shooting my accumulation more.

Retired on 3/01/2013 from 30 years in corrections/locksmith. Have probably bought 50 guns since. No customs yet, too old now for the wait, but 3 Freedom Arms, 454 and 2-41 mags.

Chig’s is shipping the Ironwood grips and frame back to me on Monday for the Clements .50 ROA. I just got off the phone with Bobby Tyler and will be sending it to him next week to be engraved. I still might have to find a .500 JRH or Linebaugh but this will keep me happy for now. I have a couple more that should be finished shortly. Life is good

Congrats on your retirement! I retired in September of 2020 as a research and development/prototype machinist and after 42 years of various old school machining jobs. I would often joke that I had machined it all, but as any machinist knows, you'll always learn something new as long as you are still in it.
Enjoy your free time, I sure do enjoy mine.

Congrats on pulling the plug.
I retired in 2014 and talked myself (wasn't very hard) into spending my last paycheck on a 9" FA-83 in 357 Magnum. Every time i shoot it I remember it was the last paycheck gun and enjoy it even more! As a side note, I have yet to find a day that I didn't have something fun to do!

I will miss the people I worked with but won’t miss the nuts calling in. You would not believe some of the crap people call 911 for. HELP ME! McDONALDS IS CLOSED!!
