Would you consider yourself a collector, shooter or both? Do you usually buy firearms for a specific purpose or just cause?

 

[nonnieselman]

I like to shoot :gatlin:

[savageshooter]

we load, we shoot. collecting is for tthose with a lot more money than i.

 

[SilentHitz]

I don't do safe queens, if I buy it...it's gonna get shot. Don't care how old it is, or if a collector will pay less if it's fired...they're all going to my family after I'm taking my final dirt nap. If they're mad because I fired a oldie, I won't care...I'll be dead LOL.

 

[crossedcannons45]

another shooter here. I buy guns for specific purposes, primarily self defense since I dont hunt

 

[Docs150]

They get shot...cleaned...shot. If I don't use something it's part of my knife collection....

 

[captain-03]

I am somewhat moody when it comes to buying guns. One day I like this one and the next day it is something else. VARITY is the key word for me. NO safe queens here .... they were built to shoot and I make sure they get the opportunity!! I do have this little nitch for old US military arms ... I do have some that I have not shot -- however, they have been shot many, many times before.

 

[mike718]

I collect them and than I shoot them! LoL :thumbup:

 

[msredneck]

I'm a shooter as well. I only have 2 "queens"...a Ruger Blackhawk 7.5 50th anniversary edition...its is breautiful

The other my father's Remington Model 7 .308...permanently retired after his death...To my knowledge He never missed a hog or deer with it and I don't wanna ruin his perfect score

SHOOTER..... Buy 'em, try 'em.... keep those I love, trade or sell those that don't cut the mustard..... I like variety, I like to shoot, I like to hunt, I like them accurate, I like them to look pretty and perform flawlessly..... I started out with a preference for rifles (and still like to shoot and hunt with them), but have recently started leaning towards handguns - since I got some high quality auto's....I am quickly turning into a big 1911 fan - have 2 and want more :drool:

 

[jbpmidas]

To shoot. Not enough money to collect!

 

[SubGunFan]

I am a SHOOTER with a COLLECTION of firearms to SHOOT.......

No Safe Queens, just guns that don't get shot that much. Can't take them all on each trip to the range.......

I don't think I could stand owning a gun that I couldn't shoot (for investment reasons). I do forget I have certain guns from time to time until I see them "hiding" in the safe......

True, some guns rise in value even if shot....... some don't. I got lucky as "investment" goes with my SMGs (which I shoot as much as cost of ammo will allow).

Do I own any HIGH $$$$ "fancy" guns?....... NO. Do I own too many guns?............... NO ! ! ! Do I enjoy EACH AND EVERY gun I own?..... H*LL YES ! ! !

I to am a shooter that likes to collect as many as I can. Not to say if someone gave me one that would go down in value I'd keep it that way.

 

[SJ]

Shooter.

 

[ree_countrygirl]

both! to not be very old i have several very nice and high dollar guns, but they were all bought to SHOOT! that being said, i have never sold a gun and unless i buy one to sell or find something in the same caliber that i like better i highly doubt i ever sell one

 

[cwink]

I don't get to shoot as much as I would like too.. I don't have any safe queens. I have a few guns that I wont take on certain hunts.. For example, a opening moring dove hunt on a clear blue bird day, I will break out one of my Dad's shotguns.. If there is even a hint of rain or to much dew then the synthetic gets the call..

ree word of advise DO NOT SELL ANY OF YOUR GUNS YOU WILL HATE YOURSELF LATER IN LIFE WHEN YOU REMEMBER THE ONES YOU SOLD.
