Never Fired?

One. A CVA .44 caliber Remington black powder revolver, purchased in 1984. Never got around to shooting it, though I did finally buy the stuff needed (powder, balls, caps, etc.) during the summer of 2007. Now, just need to get to an outdoor range...
 
Currently zero, but recently I did have a shotgun that I had never fired. It took me a number of months to get to the range and test it out.
 
Every firearm manufactured has already been test-fired at the factory to 'proof' it. Most aren't cleaned after proofing and are shipped with residue in the gun.

I just don't get the importance that some people place on supposedly unfired guns.
 
Zero, I do have my grandpa's old higgins model 31, great gun, fine shooter, but I want to keep it just the way I got it. I shoot it every now and then.
 
Never been fired EVER? Or never been fired by me?

I own ONE firearm that has never been fired by me. And that's simply because it's an ancient wallhanger that ain't safe to shoot.

If I ever bought a gun that had never been fired EVER, and I wanted it to stay that way...I'd have to sell it to someone real quick with more self control than I got. I'd shoot it, fer sher dude. I mean like totally.

Now I'm gonna go count my ammo and decide what to go shoot next.
 
It much more enjoyable to use the arms rather then store them.
If you got it, use it.
 
A lot. I mean, just looking at all the guns in the store i have never even chambered a round in..:)D:D:D:D)..wait, you meant of guns i own...well, none, otherwise i wouldn't own them.
 
1932 Lignouse made in Austria, all original w/ holster. There's no way I'd fire that gun, I built a box and mounted it with the gun inside. Coolest gun I've ever saw.
 
I don't own any that haven't been fired. (I don't count factory proof firing.)
However, I have about two dozen that I haven't fired. Maybe I will sometime if I ever get bored with the ones I do shoot.
 
Zero

I can't remember the last time I bought a brand new gun either.

I prefer trolling the used case and find something that someone else paid full retail for.
 
I was going to post a similar thread regarding "the longest you went from buying a gun to shooting it" because weather, holidays, work and etc., etc. has prevented me from shooting two new acquisitions for over two months on one and a week on the other.

So, for now, two guns.
