I am both.
I love to collect and I love to shoot. There is only one firearm in the picture I have never fired and don't intend to. I love my C and R license and the CMP North Store. Please ignore the spots on the carpet. It has since been torn up and was the reason I decided to take everything out and take the pic. These are just my C and R long guns. From left to right
