    Thanks, I've never heard that one before. Makes me wonder what I'd hang on the wall when my collection is done, hopefully I'll never find out

      The only difference between a collector and a hoarder probably is that a collector has the items in safes and organized.

      Your first warning sign is probably the day you find a gun you completely forgot you had.

      The second sign is when you find a gun you can't remember that you ever bought.

        Good to know. Don't be surprised if you get a PM from me in the very near future.

          One of everything that interests you.

          And when you go to a shop you see another that you cannot do without.

          Makes you a collector.

              Being a bit of a collector,I would say when you hit the threshold where you will not shoot certain guns due to value, rarity or historical significance. or Where you buy certain guns, knowing you wont shoot them. I'd say a hoarder is one who buys more then one of the same type gun and that gun is not particularly rare or valuable..Like the guys with 20 Nagants or the guy with the 20 Glocks....not that there's anything wrong with that

                I figure when your "Guns I want" list gets down into single digits you got a problem, till then all's good.

                We already have the only reasonable Gun Control we need, It's called the Second Amendment and it's the government it controls.

                  Thank you. It's so obvious. The fact that your collection is just starting is immaterial.

                    That's a good way to put it!
