I'd be happy to take the excess off your hands - don't want to see you suffer..... 
Reminds me of back when I usta do woodworking.
My wife asked me one day, "How many power tools do you need?"
My answer, "All of them."

Franklin, arjay is right. Most of us have been through what you are feeling, and came back good as new! Remember that when you're feeling down, there's nothing like a new gun to cheer you up!!! Also, remember my old rule: always buy, never sell (unless you find out you accidentally bought a gun with an internal lock, in which it is permissible to sell for a slight profit). Follow this simple rule and you will be good as new in no time. If your safe is full, remember that an extra safe is always a good investment as well. Hoping to see you up and around in no time!!!

This is the algorithm you need to follow:
1. Check safe
2. If there is a no gun you want skip to step 4, otherwise continue to step 3
3. Buy gun and return to step 1
4. You are lying to yourself, go to step 3
1. Check safe
2. If there is a no gun you want skip to step 4, otherwise continue to step 3

I have all I need.
But that doesn't mean I'm not going to buy another!

Well I am going to an auction Saturday and I hope they have another one I NEED. I did buy another long gun today. And can't believe I did it. It is a Thompson Center Hawken 50 can Muzzleloader. Like I need another but I got it with powder balls cleaning stuff extra rods and It is a Flinter. The price was pretty good and I think I can sell it to make a bit cause I also got a Smith M-48 with it for too much money. Not to mention I went to a Porn..er pawn shop and the guy there offered me 4 shothell loaders for a 100 bucks. One was a nice Mec 600 2 were single stage Pacific/Hornady's and the 4th was a decent Pacific/Hornady 366. All 12 ga..Why do I buy this crapo?? I just went in to buy a RCBS 510 scale.. And to top it all off I had to go buy a NEW router. My old router a Lynksys G died. I got it at a yard sale 5 yrs ago for 5 bucks. I may have gotten my money's worth out of it..but money better spent on a S&W 28-2 I have my eye on. The M-48 was a 6 inch gun unfortunately. I like the 4 inch and shorter. If it keeps going like this I may have to buy a third safe....soon.

you guys amaze me. i now have three,3, count them three handguns.
i try to keep them neatly in their holsters, but there's always something i gotta do with them.
anyplace i sit or lay my head is a gun.
they are all over.
n, no, i have no fear of home invasion. i'm too far from the pavement to worry about that.
so, if i find a model 14, i'll be tripping over guns.
i can't clean around here without moving guns.
n, i just buy guns i absolutely need.

Susie, you need a shotgun and a thutty thutty by each door, a shotgun by the bed and at least one handgun in each room: just in case. lee

I may have enough.
I was an accumulator, not a pure collector.
I loved to hunt and shoot. I bought guns that fill that niche.
But how many pre 64's in '06, 270, 264 Mag, 257 or Model 12's in 12, 16 does one need?
I sold many of the extra Winchesters before I retired or shortly thereafter. I slimmed down to 3 1911's, some 4" 684, 4" 629, 4 or 5 22 pistols, and my safe is still full.
Found an old Ithaca 37 and slicked it up, found a M 37 bbl that had one inch cut off of it and bobbed it to 20" for dual purpose. Found a new Copy of the High Standard Riot and bought it, found a front half of a Model 1912 riot, NOS Sile walnut and slicked up my 1928 M-12 so it too can pull double duty. What do I need 3 riot guns for?
Did some trading and ended up with an FN 300 Win Mag.
Did I mention my safe is full?
If my son would get a safe I would give him the family stuff.
I never thought so, but perhaps, just perhaps for me I may have enough.
I've always said this, when I was young I could only afford a shotgun, a deer rifle, a 22 rifle, a 22 hand gun and one CF handgun and really enjoyed being outdoors with them. Many times it was just a shot gun and deer rifle with a Python or Colt Combat Commander or a 29-2. But just one CF pistol at a time. With those I did not have to decide which pistol or rifle or shotgun, I just grabbed it and went, life was pretty carefree. Heck I could take all of them to the truck in one trip.
I hunted with passion and often. Now I sit mulling over a full safe.
Life was much easier with 2 or 4 guns.
So I guess for me it is the old thread, if you had to, which guns would you keep?
Shinola, all of them for now.
Who is the OP on this one, see what you started?

You will know if/when you get to that point.
I may be about there now.
When you go digging through the safe for some item and find guns you forgot you had bought, you may be getting close.
Or, it may just be Alzheimers...

I don't need (or want ) another gun. I need to go shoot the ones I already own. The "Old Guys" have been to 6 gun shows over the last 18 months and came home empty-handed each time without another gun. We did buy some cheap primers and powder, but no guns.
Yup, we have enough guns.

I'm still looking to collect a couple more model 27s to finish out my little collection. I need to pick up a 6" barrel and an 8 3/8" barrel 27 so that I have at least 1 of each common barrel length. But first I need to get the money together to do this and with the oilfield so slow right now that is hard to do.
