How many of you keep a gun you will never use in the woods?

FFL for private party has been like a decade now, the 3day waiting period is about a year old now and the FFL (required in the decade old law already) is gonna follow the new 3 day rule.

It may happen eventually, esp. if the state keeps going the way its been going.

sell the supergrade. especially since you have two 300 WSMs in the same rifle. that funds a new gun, or ammo, or just puts money in the bank. the only reason i regret selling any of my guns is that they'd be worth twice as much now compared to when i sold em! i need to clean up some guns and consign em. i even shoot some of em. they're just things.

I have a safe full of rifles my dad bought when he thought he was a collector, that I will never use.

And what happens to those rifles when you pass? Are you going to burden your offspring or family members by putting them in a similar situation? Pass down those safe rifles and leave them saying “I have a safe full of rifles from Dad/Uncle Bob”?

I don’t live in a whitetail state and my state is stingy on giving out doe pronghorn, doe mule deer & cow elk tags so I’m down to maybe one rifle/muzzleloader hunt each year so most of my guns don’t usually get out each year but man if I could do whitetail every year with some doe patrol I’d use every thing I have.

I have a couple guns a few years old (pre covid) that haven't been shot yet. I have some that have been shot or used prior to myself buying it and haven't seen shot by myself. Lots of guns not a lot of time. A couple are for the kids when they get older so they'll get shot eventually.

I’ve got a Rem 760 pump action in 30-06. I doubt it will get out very much. Maybe on a hunt where I want to shoot it for nostalgia and I don’t care about weight.

Yep they are heavy, but the extra weight and pump action helps to stay in the scope vs a bolt action.

I have a hard time hanging onto firearms that don’t serve a purpose for me.

Lots of guys have safes full of rifles that they don’t even know if they are sighted in. I’d rather use that money for components, barrels, match fees, hunts or travel. But then my disposable income isn’t like some on here.
