How many guns would you have if you had not sold or traded any?

How many guns would you have if you had never sold or traded any?

I've sold a lot of guns in the past and some of them I really regret selling. Any gun I traded was always for another gun so I'm not counting guns I have traded. If you have traded any guns for non gun items then count those. So how many would you have if you hadn't sold or traded any? For me, the magic number is:

115

What is your number?

Then just take the poll, you don't have to comment with a number, we won't force you or come to your house and steal your two guns! :) LOL

Just to clarify.....

For those of you that might be a little paranoid about people knowing how many guns you have, should have, would have, might have.....just take the poll, nobody can possibly know that it is you that took the poll. The government is not watching this forum, I guarantee it. Please don't make it so complicated, it is supposed to be fun, thank you.

The only time I've ever sold any guns was when my youngest kid was in the ICU for the third or fourth time. Long story. Anyway, I sold them all. Four handguns, four long guns which were all hunting bolt rifles I got from my dad. Wasn't anything but needing the money. In the ten years since, I've bought six firearms. That's it. Don't really need anything else now, but I keep my eyes open for what's on the market. I'm not a collector and I have other interests & things to spend on, but I really should have bought one of those CZ 1911's last year. Darnit.

I was just thinking of this same thing a few days ago.

Bought my first gun in 1975, Savage bolt action 20g shotgun. I was 12. I think I paid $40, that was a lot of lawns mowed back then.

I figure 200 or so might be close.

I lost all past and future purchases in a boating accident, and I don't even boat!
Me neither. I just wanted to see if they could float, they can't [emoji35] [emoji35] [emoji35]

I would be exactly 4 guns ahead, sold 2, loaned out one that I never saw again, and gave one away. I don't have a lot of disposable income, so I'm pretty picky about what I buy, do a lot of research and try to get the best bang for the buck.

As to the 4 I got rid of, no big loss, other than the Charter Arms Bulldog. I really wish I still had that one.

My safe is so full now, I am putting handguns in padded envelopes and stacking them. Guns are being disassembled and stacked. I can count the number of guns I've sold with the fingers on one hand and number I've given away on the other and I can say that I regret selling everyone.

Been buying guns since I was a teenager. It was legal back then. No B.S. paperwork. Just pay your money, get a cash register receipt and your purchase, and walk out the door.

I've only sold three guns, and I've regretted selling two of those. One would be a collectible now days. The only one I've never regretted selling was one of those worthless 22 LR on top 410 under the bottom things. 410 is the most useless shotgun ever invented IMO. Not even any good in a Judge.

Do You Really Believe the Federal Alphabet Agencies are not on Firearms Forums?
Get Real!
How do I get one of those jobs? As much time as I spend on here and other forums, I might as well get paid for it.
