Smile This is what happens once a C&R is obtained

I've been collecting since 1985, here is a small part of my collection. I collect military, .22 rifles, sporting arms as well as shotguns, pistols and revolvers.

I showed the photos to Mrs. Triggerjerk and told her to be happy that I have so few rifles!

No not a museum, if I were I'd claim all arms I own C&R eligible! I have four more safes that I might show. And then the stuff that just hangs around....

Hmmmmm, about average, I'd say. I'll be renewing mine for the third time next year. I recently had to sell off a couple of dozen or so just to make room for some more rare ones. Heck, I had 25 M1 carbines alone!

Seriously, I have dreamed of having a collection like that, a couple of my walls decorated with the collection, yours needless to say is a great one.

i thought that with a C&R you could not sell them only trade them?

You can sell them, just not to make a profit, or be in business. Your guess is as good as mine as to what THAT means.

I couldn't afford to get a C&R. I could swing the licensing fees and all, but I'd go into the poor house afterwards. Nice collection.

Now, that right there, is firearm pornography! I was waiting for the foldout section! LOL. Seriously though, great collection. You must travel far and wide to find those gems.

That is just further reinforcement that I cannot have a C&R. I woud behave more like a crack addict than I do now. My wife would divorce me when she would catch me sneaking in late at night with cosmoline under my fingernails.

That is a great collection. I am afraid that a C&R would put me in the poorhouse too.
