If you have some safe queens. Why ? 0 -
I have none. I only buy a gun if I'm going to shoot it. There are better investment channels than guns. 0 -
I used to have several.
I didn't shoot them because I did not want to hurt the value.
I wound up selling all the ones that I wouldn't shoot and now do not own anything that I won't take to the range. Some are more fun than others and get shot more but all have or will have rounds run thru them now. Life's to short to sit and stare at something that was built and meant to be used.0 -

Knew a girl like that once...[;)]0 -
Guns can be viewed as an investment....no different than keeping some silver, art, stocks or other items that will grow in value over time...
Buy low sell high. [:)]0 -
have little model 42 winchester my sister only shot 3 times, it has been passed down to me, I just don't use a 410 and hate to take it out in the woods to get scratched up or worse. not worth a ton of money as the sentimental value is as high as the real value 0 -
Maybe 0 -
Several, and for many reasons. Some are too old to shoot, Some have sentimental value(those do get used, just not everyday, or year..), but mostly because I can.[:D] 0 -
I have been getting rid of them for the last 4 months. 0 -
Guns are evil, penguin.
I keep all of mine locked away and never bring them out so that no one will get killed by them.0 -

I have a penguin frozen in a block of ice and look at it everyday to see how stupid they look just standing there. 0 -

My guns are like Pit Bulls.
Family is OK and they are gentle as kittens if they know you.
When they go out in public, however, I am more careful and make sure I know where their muzzles are going.0 -

Well duh . . . .
That is why you keep them locked up in a box - so they can't hurt innocent bystanders.

I have them in a building so I can just look at them every once in a while. [;)] 0 -
To me, modern guns are just a tool, available to be employed when needed. No great value and the last place I want them to be is locked up out of my reach when needed.
Mostly I'm into old, pre-WWI guns. I have zero interest in any old gun that has done nothing but sit in a corner unused since made and is now in 95%+ condition. Such a gun has not experienced any history, it's just a lump of metal and wood that has sat around for 100+ years. And I won't kid myself into thinking it is an investment.
My old guns have all earned honest dings, scratches, and worn blue on the trail, in battle, on on the hunt. They reside in my gun room where I can smell the history and wonder who did what with them.0 -
no 0 -
Yep just have the time to go out and shoot them all. Surprisingly enough most of them are my cheaper guns. 0 -
Dont have any queens here except the wife and cat and dogs. Rotate the safe stuff and sell off the dusty ones... 0 -

Ive got guns to shoot, but Ive got some like a Winchester Model 88 new in the box that I wont shoot. Should fetch more someday if I decide to sell it.0 -
I don't think either of your questions are any of your business...[;)][:D] 0 -
I have a couple. I also have some silver dollars I don?t carry in my pocket or use in a vending machine. 0 -
They all went down with the boat. 0 -

I inherited guns from my great grandpa, grandpa and uncle is the reason I have some safe queens. There's a couple of them I'm not particularly fond of but I'm keeping them anyway because they've been in the family so long it just wouldn't seem right to sell them. 0 -
Raven .25, Cause I can't hit the Broad side of the barn with it and am never sure when it will fire or not. But it is Cute. 0 -
I've got a few...HRA M1 Garand, LE6920 that remain unfired after several years....sold my Python and bought a couple shootable guns. 0 -
None yet but when I hit the Poweball I?m going to make a lot of gun collectors sick! 0
