House/Gun Poor

[OHOD]

So how many of you guys have a kick butt collection of firearms and ammunition along with reloading stuff.....But you barely make ends meet?

[RedFord150]

Modest collection, no reloading stuff, live well within my means, and I find OHOD incredibly sexy.

Nice collection, live with in my means. Love a good BLT!

Own a home, own guns, have kids.

Home is nearly paid off, POS that it is. Guns are nothing special, i.e., Rock Island 1911 vs. Kimber. Kids are all out on their own finally, so things may change. Example: grocery bill is now next to nothing.

We might buy a new car for the first time ever, and/or keep buying silver.

I live within my means outside times of panic. After some schmuck stole my long guns from my storage unit I went without because I didn't have enough insurance coverage.

During the panic of 2012, I replaced my .223, and may have picked up extra receivers.

During the panic of 2016, I replaced my .308 with something nicer, and may have picked up extra receivers.

With the Sacramento shenanigans going into effect on 1/1/2017, I may need to follow a one-gun a month policy to lay in a lifetime supply.

My bills are paid, my kids have college funds, we pay 1K/month over our mortgage to have it paid off several years early. Shooting is one of my hobbies, and I treat is as such. I have all the firearms I want, and probably much more than I need lol. As a husband and father it would be irresponsible of me to put my family in financial peril to buy what are basically toys.

No kick-butt collection here - just a couple of Sig P226s, P226 22LR adapter, and a couple Kahrs. So basically just two ammo types (9mm and 22LR) and three magazine types.

Ages ago I went hog wild on 10 speed racing bikes, but in the end learned one only needs a decent 10 speed bike and a rider in excellent shape. I think the same applies to firearms - small collection which you use and shoot well is all that is needed to enjoy the sport (and for self-defense, if ever needed).

My house isn't much but it's paid off. Small collection since my ex stole my old collection.
No vehicle payments. Just taxes and utilities.

[92E2]

My wallet is raped monthly by insurance companies and BHOcare taxes. Spend more on insurance than anything else.

[small hole shooter]

800 yards, check
300 yards, check, check
75 yards, check, check, check
15 yards, check, check
4 feet, check + machete
No safe queens. Have plenty of food, money, toys.

I know live within my means. I didn't always...

Thank heavens for this OHOD poll. I was having withdrawels.

You need N+1 for the 10 speeds, Italian, campy, touring, go fast, rain, mountain, beater, Merckx, Ciocc, N + 1. I am just getting over my sickness, you need a Panto,Campy, Torelli? 57 cm? Just joking.

[Garv]

I have an arsenal if you ask the antis.
I'd get a lot of "meh" from our guys.

Good to hear from you OHOD.

[packnrat]

i admit to owing one flintlock muzzle loading blunderbuss, and the action is all rusted up.
