Worse than buying more guns is inheriting guns. I've had my Father and two very dear-to-me friends leave me with about 15 guns in the last decade.
They wanted me to have them. To a large degree, they don't fit my style, or, my hunting. I would feel just awful selling them. I may have to, as I'm out of safe space. I've been out for a while, but, have them crammed into two different safes.
I'm down to just a few I use, or, used to use a lot more. Maybe 5 in those two catagories. Some days I contemplate trying to get down to 4 shotguns, or so, thinking a clays gun, a skeet gun, a pheasant gun, and a grouse/woodcock gun.
I suppose (if I was honest with myself) I could do all of that with a decent O/U with two sets of barrels, or a set of O/Us, a 20 and a 12.
But, I've sold a gun or two I shouldn't have, over the years, and they haunt me.
At least, as of today, nobody in state government has forced me to use specific, non toxic ammunition in my guns not designed for it. We have beat those gouls back, here, for now.
Best,
Ted
