And I would ay 1000 is way beyong hobbist to fanatical. I personally wouldnt mind owning about 10 or so. I wish I would never of gotten rid of the 5 that had no papers on them (in case God forbid something ever happened and they started taking away guns)
Obviously not every one will be into gun collecting and shooting as much as me, but another factor I look at is that guns make great heirlooms to pass down to my son and grandsons. They will be shooting my guns long after I'm gone.
You should wear them out and make them buy their own...lol. I wish I could get ahold of a rare handgun and save it like in a shadow box and then pass it down so it would be special. That I think would be pretty cool.

I don't know any of you, but I STRONGLY DISLIKE ALL OF YOU!!!
Just kidding, really though, even though I'm a newer poster and owner(I just bought my first XD40) I am an addict. This sight doesn't help my "addiction". I already have my next 4 guns lined up(when funds permit) and plan on just growing the collection. My poor girlfriend knows how I am and is just going along for the ride.
Hi...my name is TMUSCLE1 and I'm a gun addict.
Firearm addiction is serious business.
I've grown my firearm collection from one to eight in about two years.
The nice thing is, if I ever have to liquidate to come up with some emergency funds, I can sell a good portion of them for [easily] 70% of what I spent on them. This is a good line to drop to the significant other when she asks why I'd want another.
Haha you guys are all cracking me up. I think I could do a dissertation on the people in this forum if I was a sociology major:anim_lol:.
Like a lot of y'all said I think guns are a decent investment for the most part. I choose to go with function over form for most things in life which is why I only have 5 guns at the moment. Only 5 :mrgreen:. Man rationalizing is fun.
Hey if nothing else we can all look forward to being some of those old timers you always see at the gun shows with a life's long collection of guns and plenty of stories to share with anyone that will listen. Sounds alright to me.
Welcome TMUSCLE. We are glad you're here. We are all in this together:mrgreen:Quote:

Now if I could just find a few hundred more rounds of ammo...
buy up the ammo quick, i fear thats the first thing that will go...
That's we as a whole need to be on top of our game. Make sure we write and call our Senators and Congressmen/women. Just because they might be "concetrating on the economy" doesn't mean they can't, or won't sneak something through regarding ammo.
