I've given this a lot of thought. I could get rid of everything but my Ruger 77MKII RLS in 308, my 77/22 and a S&W 3000 12 Gauge pump with a multi choke barrel and a slug barrel. But then I realize that I still need a muzzleloader for the black powder deer season and when I retire some informal SASS shooting and an occasional CMP match with the requisite AR would be fun and there's six more guns that I "need". Sentimental attachment kicks in (10% sentiment and 90% mental) and I would miss grouse hunting with Dad's Sweet 16 and how could I part with Grampa's Savage 99 and Springfield 03 or Great Uncle's 99. Then there's the Sharps, the Marlin 94's and Dad's 71. You see where this ends up, looking for a spot for another safe.


Leave the gun, take the canolis.
