Odd outlook. esp. considering a mental disorder would likely preclude you from owning any firearms.

Having had a couple of days to think about my "collection's" theme, I came to the conclusion it's "Guns I like to shoot."A "collection", as Jim Watson said above, has an underlying theme.
My lack of focus when it comes to collecting guns.....]
I agree. My themes are:I know that some people believe that one should have a theme for their collection. After thinking about that I can come up with a few themes for my collection.
Like fpgt72 said, the hunt for the gun can be a big part of the fun. To tell the truth, I find the hunt more fun then shooting the gun sometimes.
I have been giving some thought to selling a few guns from my collection, but every time I think about it, I end up buying another gun.
I did have seven Vz 24s but ended up giving one away. I guess you could say that I have a Vz 24 collection.
I don't think it's important to have a Theme or focus in a gun collection.
When my daughter was little she collected stuff animals. They were all different sizes and colors. I was sad the day she decided she was to old for stuff animals and gave them away. Collections will grow and shrink,come and go, all depending on how we feel. If you really need a definition for collecting, just pick the one that suits you and have fun.
Our park ranger, back when I was a Boy Scout, was a very interesting character. All I knew him by was Dutch. Later, on Green Acres there was that character who was like the fire marshal, the building inspector, etc. Reminded me of Dutch. He (Dutch) owned a hunting lodge (White Oak Inn in Pike County, Pa.) and in addition to being a hunting guide, etc. with the lodge, he was also the Fish and Game Warden and various other county hats.So who else here watches the news and sees the very dangerous man arrested with an “arsenal” of thirty guns shown laid out on the carpet.....and thinks “amateur”…
