While some might regard your appreciation of firearms as some sort of quirk, if I could afford to, and if I had the protected space, I think I would own a lot of guns, too. Probably not five hundred, but quite a few.It's not a contest. At one time I had well over 500 firearms. Now I'm down to a couple hundred. I've kept the rare and unusual.
My father was a locksmith by trade but he also did very well as an sideline gunsmith, so my brother and I grew up around firearms and learned to appreciate the skill and ingenuity that devised and created them. At one time I personally owned fourteen guns but lost interest in them as my interest in archery increased. Now I'm down to just two, which I keep for personal defense, But I still enjoy going to the range now and then and making some noise.
