This exchange is real close to being political,I apologize if it,s taken that way.Claire,s post is very close to being an insult,uncalled for in this context,also not allowed in any forum but the political forum,thus my reply.
If the statement Claire made was done so jokingly between two close friends, it would be one thing. But to do it in this matter on this forum is very insulting. People like sarge that served this country and used GUNS to protect our liberty is THE reason someone has the freedom to get on here and voice their opinion, no matter how ignorant they are of how they got the freedom to do so. So in reality, that statement Is a compensation for lack of knowledge about how freedom is attained.
Thank you for your service, Sarge.god bless you.

What a beautiful collection! The history alone, encapsulated in all those guns is just awesome. Thanks for sharing. And what a great neighbor. I have enjoyed the spirited conversation on this thread. Keep it up everyone!

Nice collection and NO I will not show my hubs .. hehe Hubs and family have enough to outfit an platoon ...

I've curtailed my buying since Hurricane Michael slammed us in Oct 2018. Not knowing how long the repairs would take, or where I would store them.

Bad enough transporting just these, with me having averaged 8 buys or more in a year at times. That could have theoretically been another 24 plus weapons. That would have been pushing past 70 weapons by now.

Besides it allows my gun allowance to keep building up.......
