Scoob,

About the guns I own, I don't do much with them anymore.

When I was in college getting my geophysics degree I was gone a lot so I bought my first handgun, a .357 for my wife for home defense and her personal peace of mind. I took her out to the range to show her how to use it several times before leaving her with it.

I have kids, so they are ALL locked in a wall safe now and I'm not really rabid about their ownership. Two I inherited. I used to hunt, so I own a couple of rifles but I don't hunt anymore. I switched to recreational target practice for a few years when I stopped hunting for sport. I did this with my wife so we had his & her pistols.

I'd probably sell most of them now. Keeping my grandfather's Remmington model 760 .30-06 and maybe the .357 and the .22 Ruger.

My family has always had and used guns. It is more out of nostalgia and family connection that I even keep them at all. It is also a real pain in the butt (no pun intended, well, maybe a little) to sell them under the new laws that say I have to go through a liscensed arms dealer.
