I guess at 75 I'm not a kid anymore...... Anyway, been involved with guns all my life - FFL for 30+ years, NRA Firearms Instructor, WAC & NRA Life Member, etc., etc. But like others on this site, I'm concerned about my collection of firearms and will either start having to sell them off or will them to the NRA. Maybe one day I'll post a list here and see who's interested. Otherwise, I'm happy to be here and look forward to reading through the posts.

Welcome to WaGuns!
Part of this “sport” is sharing. Sharing the love of collecting, shooting and most importantly sharing the knowledge of years and years of experience. I have enjoyed this sport and I enjoy seeing the joy it can bring to those starting out in it. I enjoy also seeing how people get excited about an old gun and cherishing it in only a way someone who can as a new gun owner. A new gun be it old or new but new to them. I hope you have family and friends to ensure those cherished firearms are continued to be save and cherishly guarded in this age and on. Welcome and if you can share some stories and/or pictures. |

If you’re thinking about thinning the collecection, this is a great place to do it. My only suggestion would be to run the list past me before you post anything up...
Also, WELCOME! |

I gave up my FFL when I moved out of Hawaii, and now just hold a C&R license. Most of my shooting now is just plinking up in the hills to maintain some proficiency with my CPL. Alas, trips to "the pit" are not as much fun since I had to destroy my bump stock....... |

Welcome to the club!
I hope my daughters marry "gun guys" because otherwise I'll end up like you in ~30 years. If Big Brother allows me to keep them until 2050, that is. I collect S&W revolvers and will certainly be interested if you post any up! _________________ "Wherever you go, there you are." |
