I’ve kicked this around for a while. Wife and I are downsizing and eliminating clutter in our lives and it feels good honestly. We are far from extreme, but getting rid of a lot of extra junk makes it easier to kind stuff I actually need/use.
I’ve been trying to do this with firearms. I have been hanging on to a Win 70 7MM Mag for no real reason…hadn’t shot it in 6-8 years…it was fun to shoot 20 years ago but not so much these days. Sold it and all ammo. No regrets (yet)….
My conundrum is with revolvers and lever guns. I recently began buying a few just to have for fun. And while I’m gonna keep them, I have to adjust my thinking that I don’t need as much .38 ammo as I like to keep in 9MM. Same with the 30-30 or other calibers that are infrequent shooters (once or twice a year max).
So I’m weeding out the stuff slowly but surely…and while I’ll always have more guns that I don’t shoot, I’m gonna get rid of the excess that just doesn’t have any future with me.
Anyone else taking these steps? When I catch myself thinking I may need something I haven’t used in years, I feel like a crazy hoarder person like you see on TV…LOL!
