Reminds me of the case in Vancouver with the elderly man who had 174 firearms seized. Mostly WW2 firearms but they weren’t stored safely. He was also of poor physical and mental health.

Large quantities of legally owned firearms are more common than you think. At my height of collecting, I had more than 40 but less than 60, now I have dwindled it down more than 60% to just precision / hunting rifles and shotguns and handguns.

One thing to not fuck around with is safe storage. Puts a bad name on all of us for improper storage.

Man I haven’t know the exact number I have for at least a decade now lol… always went with more than a dozen, less than a hundred, somewhere in the middle I’d reckon.
