I had to get out of the house tonight, went to look at car for someone on another forum as it was so close to me. A screwy character with 88 handguns and about another 20 or so various other guns and riffles hanging on the walls of his garage. This house was in a neighborhood developement with front entry garage doors on his house. I held back from looking interested, intrigued would be a better word. The initial reason for me being there wasn't going well so I then switched the subject. "Aren't you worried people can see your guns? Don't the insurance companies require you to keep them under lock and key?"
He has tall stacks of gun catalogs everywhere. Then I noticed these guns (some that I could see) had solid barrels or shallow drilled holes at the barrel ends. It's getting dark out and his well lit garage just says "Hey neighbor's, look what I have!"
We talked again about his car and parts, but he blurts out "I can't have real guns so I collect the non functional replicas."
You have to really love guns to go in that direction, and they are not cheap either! This guy thinks he'll be left alone if the word is out he has all these guns. He made sure any pictures I could take didn't catch the back wall of the garage. Some strange people out there!
 
yes youll occasionally find some rather amazingly stupid people ,
or people who have lost a firm grasp on reality
,if you flaunt a source of, what appears too be, easily stolen and valuable good's,
in a less than difficult to rob location, youll eventually get robbed!
theres about 5% of the population that feels ENTITLED to steal anything they see thats not nailed down with an armed guard standing on it 24/7/365! and even then they feel cheated that your making it difficult to get too
(WHAT THEY CONSIDER THEIR RIGHTFUL SCORE, that they feel ENTITLED TOO)


lets for a second think about the potential here.....some low life sees the supposedly valuable weapons collection
hes obviously going to think one of two things,
(A) thats potentially a good deal of goods I can steal and sell/or pawn, but I could get shot robbing this guy
(B) IF I could get shot robbing this guy, I better rob him while I.m armed and having several armed friend helping me , that might be smart for me, as at the first indication of him resisting Ill need to shoot him.
 
Yes Rich that sounds like a very strange individual & just because he's not allowed to have real(registered) guns I would bet the farm he has the other kind of real guns
