[akuser47]

I was wondering what is average for most I think since I am broke nowadays sold alot of them off. trying to hold onto the remaining few I have somthin in the realm of 30 mostly rifles and shotguns 12 of which are handguns. Just curious what you all have in numbers don't have to be deatailed in what you have just curious about the average we may have here on the forum.

Not many. I cut down on the collection several years ago as I got tired of most of them sitting around collecting dust. About 10 or so counting the muzzleloaders. Only two are handguns though with a few shotguns thrown in for good measure.

Now, about 14 handguns and twice that many rifles and 5 or 6 shotguns.
The number is always changing.
I'm always buying and selling em.
Promised myself I wasn't going to buy any more and wound up buying 4 in the last couple of months.

I think it's addictive. I know I always think I am done and somehow I always end up wheeling and dealing lose some and gain some.

I've been working on reducing the count a bit this year and at the start of that work I had 72 firearms, a majority of them leverguns (I'm almost embarrassed to report that number). I am now down to 39, 26 leverguns and 13 handguns. That number will continue to drop this year.

I am somewhat ashamed to say I only have 4. A 45/70 Marlin gs, a Marlin 1894 in 45 colt, a 5.5" Ruger Blackhawk, also in 45 colt and a Henry 22 Frontier. I have what I consider the very barest of minimums for me needs I guess. Now I really want several more and when expenses in other areas start to drop I will be on the lookout for a few more leverguns?. Where I live isn't the best place to find good deals on the guns I am interested in.

I think the wife is going to get an oversize toddler leash with a 6 foot lanyard made to put on me when we go to town shopping.
Her being no more than 6' away at any given time should solve the expanding arzenal problem.

Yeah there is my wife as well who gets fairly unhappy when I tell her I am going to buy another gun. She just looks blankly and says shoot the ones you have. She is right of course because we are building one place to retire to and renovating another into a duplex to rent out and doing it all with sweat equity and out of pocket for materials it leaves less time and money for everything else. Then there is the BOAT which always demands its fair share of money and then some! In a way the boat is the most important thing to me being this is for the most part a roadless marine area and it is the best way to get access to everything of interest to me here.

My wife kind of figures that we met and married late in live and there is no hope in changing me so she just leaves me alone.
