I have no idea how many guns I own, but I bet I've sold or traded off three times as many. Hundreds, I'm sure.

I also don't get the "never sell a gun" thing. I've bought guns I found out I didn't like after trying them out. I sold others that I bought because they were a good buy and I was able to get something better by turning them for a profit. I sold others because I was in a financial bind, and providing for my family was more important than that inanimate object.

Once a gun is gone, I never think about it again. Why bother?

I have a couple that I would only sell in an absolute emergency - my grandpa's Fox Sterlingworth, some of my Dad's guns. But they would be on the block if it was truly necessary.

They are all going to get sold one day anyway - either by my kids or their kids or my widow's new boyfriend. I doubt very many guns get passed down through more than 3 generations.
