I had a discussion with an old friend about just how open are we with others about the extent of our gun collections. I am fairly open about it and am glad to show my collection to friends, but I am selective. If someone asks about my guns and I don't really know them, I change the subject or say I don't really have much. A friend of mine had his house burglarized and his guns stolen 2 weeks after his son showed them to some of his friends. Coincidence? He doesn't think so.
When I am loading my car for a hunting trip like prairie dogs, I may take 5 or 6 guns and 100s of rounds of ammo. Or a trip to the ranger I may take 3 or 4 riffles and other equipment. I back my car into the garage and close the door before loading. My ammo and reloading equipment is all in locked unmarked cabinets. I don't show it off. I think all of us are at least a little guarded, especially if the collection is substantial. I'm curious how you guys think about this issue. I will appreciate your thoughts.
