Do you own any guns? (repost w/poll for BVAR)

[Major Nikon]

38. I have several guns but only one of those were purchased by me

All the rest were inherited. I keep them because I have a strong sentimental attachment to them. I have my grandfather's police service pistol which is my connection to his days as a police officer. I have my dad's rifle, which is a military surplus rifle converted for use as a deer rifle and it connects me to the many hours spent in my dad's workshop converting those rifles for hunting which my dad did to earn a few extra dollars. I have my dad's and my grandfather's pump shotguns which connects me to the times when we went bird hunting. The only gun I ever bought was an over/under shotgun barrel set used for shooting skeet. It has fixed skeet chokes and is wholy unsuited for pretty much anything else. I spent about 15 years shooting skeet on and off and I might again someday. I purchased a gun safe when my youngest child was an infant and they have been locked up from that day. I can't remember if my kids have even seen any of my guns and my youngest is 16. Neither has ever expressed any interest in them and I have never encouraged them to do so. I have never been in any situation where I think a gun would have helped, even in my 10 years with the military.
