wow... .. that;s a big collection of firearms.... ..and some very historic ones too.... ..my sister owns several but i don;t think that many.. .. hers are all related to her job . ... ..ironically i;m not supposed to handle firearms at all - but all the guns belonging to both her and my dad are locked up in a huge gun safe that is built into the back wall of my walk in closet.... (i don;t have a key to it)... . ..the room i occupy use to be the station managers room when this was a fully operational safe house... ...
we do have a mecs 12 gauge shotgun shell reloader which is not locked in that safe.. ..it;s in a box right next to the door of the safe with boxes of empty hulls and waddings on top of it... .. but i don;t think anyone has used it in a long time.. ...it was something my dad owned even before i came into the family....
i have written about it before... but if i was ever able to start using firearms i think i would like get into black powder shooting.... flintlock muzzleloaders......my dad has a few of them and i have watched other people at the range shooting them a few times... . even got offered the chance to shoot one of them but turned it down.... ...i studied a lot about them on my own after going through a class in college on balistics and body damage caused by different types of bullets at different speeds.... that was all part of pre-med... ...pretty fascinating... .. but terrifying at the same time......
maybe .... but then i tend to collect things others find boring too.... ..but to me they are awesome....... i have been collecting seashells and historic coins and artifacts brought up from the deep sea for years..... i also collect patches and challenge coins... ..i have a large collection of longbows and a few recurves....in various draweights..... plus and even larger and growing collection of arrows that match them..... but those are all used either to hunt or in teaching archery... ...
i attached this patch to the front of the gun safe with a magnet once but my sister made me take it off.... . i understand not having anything in front of it that could block the door - but she doesn;t want anything stuck to it or hanging from it either.... .. ..but i thought this patch was very appropriate for the front of a gun safe.. ....
