"Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'"

Sorry but....
If you're getting back enough money to buy some of the stuff in these posts you're not doing it right.
If I get back less than $10 I'll be tickled!! Means I kept my money instead of loaning it to the government for negative interest . (When you consider inflation)

I wasn't going to address this directly since it is off the topic of firearms, but it keeps coming up...
I paid about $600 in taxes. My standard deduction was $11,400. My exemptions were $18,250. That's more than I made in the year which means I owe $0 in taxes. Then add in the EIC and child tax credits, which total over $8,000. I get all that back (well, technically, paid to me). There's a couple more credits in there too, and I also get my $600 back.
So, no free loan to the government.... just a poor man with a large family, who doesn't make much money. As I've said before, this has been a tough year and a half for me. My 2009 income is literally 30% of my 2007 income. That's a 70% loss. Even a decent refund doesn't make up for that.
Mods, I realize this is off topic. Feel free to delete it. I just wanted to address this specific issue.

Refunds are good, but if you don't have a lot of deductions that change from year to year, and work as an employee with a steady income, adjust your withholding to where you will come out within a couple of hundred bucks either way. Then, on payday, take the difference between your paychecks and bank it. $50 bucks worth of interest buys something, right? And you can tap the money all year, not just once.
Better yet, put half the 'new money' into another bank for your old age, and leave it there to add up every paycheck.

Probably not. All depends! I am looking at a few target rifles. If I do anything I'll go in that direction. I dunno
