What percentage of your total savings should be "invested" in guns and ammo?

*I'm actually just looking for funny answers
but if you have a good suggestion I'm sure folks would like to hear it (so they can argue with you).


You know how there are rules about how you should spend five years salary on your engagement rings (or divorce lawyer, whichever comes first) and there are other rules / suggestions about what percentages you should invest in stocks, bonds, precious metals...etc.

Well, what amount of your total financial worth should be invested in firearms and ammo?

A lot of it!



But, seriously. A lot of it, of course, and in both guns and ammo equally. Then, after so many of one's favorite firearms have been acquired, one should shift the investment emphasis wholly to ammunition, components and reloading gear. And secure, locking storage!

I considered the " All-in " option but then you have to factor in your Bacon Investments, even if you're single.

No more than what my children want to deal with when I'm gone.
Before then, hope to offload what they don't want, and set that aside as ca$h not accounted for in the trust.
As a %, the total of the firearms, accessories, ammo, reloading stuff, etc., is a small fraction of total value. Numerous properties, fully paid for and owned outright with absolutely no debt whatsoever in any other manner, have value that adds up quickly.

Buy the largest safe you can fit in your house. Fill it and repeat.

Guns and ammo, while an investment in your safety and pleasure ARE NOT investments for wealth UNLESS you buy highly collectible rare firearms that you do not shoot.

You want enough to defend your family from the cluster F of the past few days.

Beyond that, don't be that guy who owns 20 guns in the closet and has a F-upped relationship with those he should be
having a strong relationship with. The successful shooters I know have current job skills & successful marriage and work
in an environment they don't hate everyday. Jack Russell Terriers or German Shepards are always a plus.

Firearms are not good investments. Most will sell for a loss or break even.

Enough to arm all the family members who will show up at my relatively remote home if civil unrest gets uncivil. Both of my friends will bring their own.

After the first gun for HD, all the guns after that is just a hobby, not even a collecting. Speaking of "saving" and "investing" , my philosophy is "Never buy guns with saving (for a rainy day) money" and "Never invest on guns". I buy guns with my small change of extra spending money.

[Wordupmybrotha]

C'mon, who are we kidding, guns and ammo aren't investments. That's just what we tell the wife.
As for how much to spend, large enough to buy something decent, but small enough that your wife won't notice.

[LongLiveTheRepublic]

I don't know I just keep buying.

[Bull Elk]

Strange question. I don’t know of anyone who thinks like that. I don’t use savings. If I want something I buy it. I don’t dip into savings.
