Do you ever lay a few of your guns in front of the TV to admire during the commercials? I have for years and I suspect I'm not the only one...
What are commercials? Just kidding... but ever since the daughter got me into streaming and I found out that I could watch networks shows after their original broadcast date without commercials, well. But sometimes you gotta have something to do during those freakin' ads for toenail fungus treatment (as if us old folks that watch Gunsmoke and Bonanza late at night all have it?)Do you ever lay a few of your guns in front of the TV to admire during the commercials?
I suspect you'd be correct.I have for years and I suspect I'm not the only one...

Sort of, sometimes if I set myself up with some food in the living room or bedroom or am watching TV I'll lay a gun out beside my stuff, or if I'm mowing the lawn or weed wacking when I stop to take a break I'll pull my revolver or pistol off my hip and point it at a spot on a tree and practice my draw and see how fast to target and steady I can be, and if you're weed wacking that's especially hard with all the vibration going through your hands even after you stop and take a break.Do you ever lay a few of your guns in front of the TV to admire during the commercials?

No offense meant. Why are you on a gun forum then?Never. They are just tools.
I haven't had a TV since 2010.What's this "TV" you're referring to?
Now folks think you’re a crazy gun nut if you snap your gun at the tv.Jeff Cooper wrote about keeping an unloaded rifle with him while watching the "televisor". Whenever a commercial came on he would wait for an "O" to appear and then try to snap shoot it before it disappeared. I do recall him noting that Coors commercials were especially entertaining.
My kids learned to work the bolt while dry firing and reload their FR8's with strippers loaded with dummies in front of the TV as kids. Whatever we were watching on TV was the target material.No, I don't actually take guns out unless I'm doing gun things. If I have time to watch TV, my kid is almost always home too. Rule is, he doesn't have access to his guns to just take out to look at, and when they're out, there's no phones, tablets, or other distractions on his end. I'm not much of a "Do as I say, not as I do" type...so I abide by the same.
But I also don't own anything as neat or pretty as the OP's stuff.
