Added up what I have put into guns and magazines. I started buying 5 years ago and have spent 7k. I am not suprised or worried about it. I plan on multiplying that number many times over. That is all.

Yep––that's the way to look at it. When most people look at insuring items they normally just look at their firearms. You need to add in the mags and ammo and accessories (scopes, extra handguards or rails, slings, cleaning gear, gun-related tools, targets, target stands, etc.) when you figure it out. In other words––how much would it take you to replace everything you have shooting-related?

I have only spent 300 bucks.

But tens of thousands more belong to my dad.

Yea i had to go through everything for insurance as well and I forget the exact number but i think it was a little bellow yours. The look on my wifes face was priceless when i came up with the total.

That averages out to a little over $100/month. I hope that doesn't include what you spent on ammo.

I got my first AR a few years ago, but had to sell it when I went ot college, still stayed on the site and when I finally got a good job when I was a junior (beginning of 2008) I started buying guns again and got my ccw. Currently still in school, graduate this fall.

I work full time, and since the beginning of 2008 ive spent around $8k-$10k. I only make $20k-$25k a year. Shows where my priorities are lol.

Wow, never looked at it before. Half the money I made last year I spent on Guns, ammuniton, mags, and accessories. Hahaha I dont have debt and so fuck it.

I spent 16,000 last year (Jan 08 to Dec 08) and have spend about 6500 this year. (prior to that I hadn't bought a new gun in over a decade)

I spent 2/3 of all my income from my second job on guns and gun related items last year (made 24k gross, spent 16k)

I tend to go overboard sometimes..

Posted: 6/13/2009 9:06:51 PM EDT

[#38]

stamps, guns, ammo, optics and transfer fees I've spent close to 10k since last october

BRD is a bitch
