Quoted: My girlfriend said that was crazy and she'd never let me buy all those when we are married. Help me convince her I'm not sick. What's the total number in you're collection and how many do you still want? Feel free to post specific collections or just a number(for the paranoid folks). Not bad for only a year of collecting. I gotta get an FAL though...need a MBR. Are you sure you want to marry someone who seems to think you need permission granted to buy a legal item? I have more firearms than I need but not near as many as I want. Not meant as a flame but if you don't correct this now you are in a world of hurt later. |

I have none now.
I want a couple more. [list] [*]Browning HiPower - illegal in this state as they're not proven safe [wacko][/*] [*]Glock 20 - just 'cause McCarrot says they're the best pistol ever - but just make mine with 10 rounds please(see above)[/*] [*]Something in .50 BMG - likely a Watson's Weapons upper for use on a single shot AR lower[/*] [/list] [red] PS: California Sucks[/red] |

A month or so back, someone started a post asking the question "How many firearms have you owned?" as opposed to your question. There were quite a few respondents who commented that they had owned totals well into triple digits.
I'm currently looking for a good O/U to do some casual Sporting Clays / Trap shooting. |

Quoted: [*]Something in .50 BMG - likely a Watson's Weapons upper for use on a single shot AR lower[/*] Oh damn, I forgot to add a .50BMG to the list. Make that 51. My girl is not all that bad, just got spooked at the fact I was actually making a list. She is more concerened that I'm going to buy guns rather than...say...pay bills, etc. She may have good reason to be worried! [:D] |

I may be a freak, but I'm considering buying two of every gun I want. One to shoot, one to pack away.
The logic being they may ban all the good stuff but I'll have "reserves". Anyone else? |

Too bad Tyler........................!!!!!
I only lost one in my divorce (filed about a month ago).................that was an HK-USP40c that basically became hers anyhow. I don't really mind that as I am a Glock guy and I would not like the idea of her and her son being without a weapon. Thank God she did not try to get my ARs....my Glocks.....the SA Carbine and M1 and my hunting/plinking firearms or my ammo and mags. On my wish list right now is an M1 Thompson. |

[/list][/red] I also agree that you need to solve this situation with your lady before you get married. If she is trying to control you now it will only get worse after marriage. All womens goal is to change a man once they get married. They may deny it but its a fact. sgtar15 |

I turn 21 in January and have 13 firearms of various types. 50 is kind of weak for a [i]lifetime[/i] collection if you ask me. I'll probably have that many by the time I'm 30 years old.
Key points for your girlfriend: I'm 21. I have a baker's dozen of firearms. 50 is a low number for a lifetime collection. |

Welcome to Sam's theory of Firearms Collecting. You need 1 longgun and 1 handgun for every year you are old (at a minimum). Kinda makes growin' older something to look forward too. SRM |

It's too bad that we are all so paranoid over who knows how many we really have, or if we really have any at all, but that seems to be prudent. You would be surprised how many people here have NICE collections. Most would love to tell you, or even show you. Your total number for life time is..... shall we say, low, if you are a serious gun fanatic. Or, maybe not if you like the really expensive types; say collectable Lugers, Colt SAAs, .50s, class 3, and so on. It's a great hobby though.
The advice you are getting on your girlfriend is more important! She needs to accept your wishes, wants, expectations NOW! Be upfront, tell her this is YOU, and who you are. Did ya notice how many guys HAD collections before their DIVORCE. Mine almost made it that far too. My wife is starting to accept my collection because of the historical curiosity of most of my collection, and the fact that they mostly are pretty cheap(C&R's). I wish she had an interest in them like other fellas' wives here. Many of them own better collections than their husbands, and are as serious about shooting them. That would be great, but that's not who I married. Make sure you take a long look at the advice given by these guys. The best there is. guns762 |

I own only one, as far as you know.
If "she" has a problem with this, then "girlfriend" is the only option. "Wife" is not an option or your life will be very bad. "Uh, honey, I think I'll have about 50 firearms in my collection. Just so you know what to expect. " After that, she can't say "I never knew." Think with the "BIG" head. |

My girl is really not as bad as it seems. She likes to shoot and is definetly not an anti. I think she is more concerned with the financial issues. Gun collecting is an expensive hobby. Plus, I'm going into law enforcement and she wants to be a nurse, not exactly big money in those fields. That is why my "wish list" is rather modest.

I don't own any firearms - only professionals like police and mall security should have firearms. Otherwise someone may get hurt! [:D]
My wishlist for now only really includes the things that are too expensive to justify buying right now - or ever [:(]. Rifles: H&K 91 Barrett M82A some FAL variant (don't know yet) Pistols: Mauser broomhandle Red Nine (pre WW-II) SIG 210 Hammerli 208 Shotgun: Browning Citori SC I can understand why someone would be concerned about their fiancee's list of 50 expensive toys. When you are young, spare cash should really be going into 401K's and other financial instruments. Then you can retire a freakin' billionnaire and buy a gigantic gun collection at hold-up prices from all the idiots that bought guns instead of investing when they were young and shortsighted.

Quoted: Are you sure DK-Prof? I can make that wish come true in time for the holidays... Don't tempt me!!! Then MY fiancee would kill me. Believe me, I'm very aware that you're selling yours (and I'm sorry to hear that you have to). I saw when you listed it here (and on the sturmgewehr site). If I had the money, I would definetely have been all over yours. There is just NO WAY in the world I can afford it now, although I really want one. Since we (sometimes) used G-3's in the Danish army, I've been itching to get one. I like the FAL, but it's just not the same as a HK. Perhaps when I get my tax rebate in the spring -or at the very latest my summer check. By then you will either have long since sold yours - or (hopefully) the need for you to sell it will have disappeared. Good luck - if you have to sell it, I hope you find some rich fool and make a killing! |
