I haven't been up to this group in a long time mainly because I haven't done anything gun wise for nearly a year. I have given my sons quite a few of my guns now rather then making them wait until I take the dirt nap. I figured I would rather have them use them and enjoy them while I was still around instead of them just sitting in my safe. I'm a car guy so I started collecting 1/18 scale diecast model cars in the past 3 months and I'm collecting mostly 60's and 70's muscle cars. I collect the ones from my youth that were my favorites like Mustangs, Corvettes, Cudas, Challengers, and GTO's. It's snowed more this year then in the entire 8 years I have been in Arkansas. We are expecting 5-8 inches of snow just today. A few car model pictures

I'm assuming the upset other half (X) smashed your model cars and that's just plain cold man.

It looks like we're going to get off lite on the snow. It's mostly playing out before it gets here. You made a good call on the guns. It keeps them scattered instead of in one location and like you said you get to enjoy seeing them used. I know one guy who made most of his guns. A punk or punks snuck into his house and helped themselves to a considerable sum of them. The ones they didn't get he had well hid. The low lifes evidently knew he was in the hospital.

Sweet collection of model cars. I have a small collection of Nascar cars.
You did right by going ahead and giving your sons the guns. You get to see them use them and you can borrow them if you want too.

It's kinda bad though when you have to put your firearms in a safe if you really stop and think about it. Criminals have lost the fear of buckshot. Not so long ago a thief given a prescribed dosage to the bottom area would have gotten a serves you right from a judge as he sentenced the crook to prison. Doing so now will net you a prison term.
A local farmer learned the hard way. A guy I know has his house and his parents house beside it. Some trespassers decided to break into the old house {which was being kept up} and throw a party. He being an elderly gentleman decided to let fly with a shot into the air with a shot gun. It wasn't aimed at anyone. He then called the sheriffs office. Upon arrival the trespassers informed the deputy of what had happened and the farmer was arrested. Needless too say there was some heated calls and letters went out over the incident. His neighbors including me we not too happy about it.

It was a guy up the road. The next road up at that intersection. This was about 15 years ago I guess and he was elderly then. He has to be close to 90 now. He was a man no one in the community had an unkind word for. That used to be how things were handled though. A harmless round of buckshot in the air worked as good on foxes as it did on thieves in running them off. It was then their choice to heed the kind warning or let round two be a bit more personal.

Hey Art do you have a 1969 Mach One Mustang. It's my favorite muscle car of all time. I had 2 of them, and a 68 GT Mustang Fastback!!
