I would say my dad was right on the edge of being a gun guy but didnt quite catch the bug. He was a very avid hunter and sportsman. He grew up hunting from a very young age and hunted with friends until we moved to Wyoming. He used the same rifle to hunt big game pretty much his entire life even though he had a few other guns. He was a subscriber to Shotgun News back when it was a good publication for sales, bargains and access to items small towns didnt have. I think at his high point he had about 30+ guns. Some were collectors, some were for fun etc. He did reload but kept it pretty utilitarian. I would say he was more of a gun guy than most people but not a full blown looney.
