Dude, they are so cheap that you don't need the gun fairy for that; go donate plasma instead.
Gun fairy steals all you guns and leaves $20K

Somewhere in there.

Please place me in your will, to recieve all your guns and whatnot. We poor college students can barely afford our AR15s and Glocks.
If the fairy pulled that stunt, even if it took the safe along with the guns, I would still come out wayyyy ahead. (By 'wayyyy ahead', I mean 20k = about 5x the value of everything gun related I own. At least 5x. Maybe closer to 10x.)
Only real loss would be an old .22 that I couldn't replace.

I would have to cover the bases of hunting, HD, ccw and if enough was left a trophy or two... B-C

That is the greatest truth I have ever heard. I am hitting the crossover point in age where I begin to look around and say "where did all this crap come from?"

I can probably buy all the guns I want and need for under $6K, so I'd have $14K left for ammo, training, beer, a fairy-proof gun safe and a fairy-eating dog.

Somewhere between C and D. I'd have to have a couple two or three $1,000 plus guns, and the rest would be quality shooters, ranging from new rifles to used milsurps.
I'd have to get a Colt AR of some sort, an Ed Brown Kobra Carry, a Remington custom shop deer rifle of some sort in .270, and probably a Ruger Red Label over and under or a Citori.
After that, it would be a mishmash of S&W airweight revolvers, SKS's of all kinds, Mosins, Mausers, a few Glocks, a few Kimber 1911's, pump shotgun or two, Garand, M1, 03A3,....are you sure we only get $20,000?
My interests are just too broad. I like everything. I'd spend it like a drunken sailor, and still pine away for the one gun I wasn't able to afford.

While I would be making a profit (assuming said fairy took my only guns), I'd still be kinda ticked.
Besides, with my luck I'd get robbed when I came home from work and, not having any firearms, I'd be out the $20k.
But to answer the question, I think I'd be somewhere between C and D.

C or D
Final choice might depend on the weather or the direction of the wind that day. Leaning toward D with maybe one "looker"

Well the Fairy don't know about some things. I'd have something to CCW as I got busy getting OLDer Used :
4 Gov't models of 1911
4 K frames, 3"
4 BHPs
4 870 pump shotguns
4 Model 94 30-30
4 Model 70 in '06
4 Marlin 60s
Kinda like basic tools: hammer, saw, pliers, socket set , wrenches and screwdrivers. Never can have too many of the basics, then one adds the other tools for tasks.
Redundancy is good. One to use, one for back-up, one in case one needs fixing and one off site. Granted I prefer odd numbers, perhaps I need two off site so that means 5 of each of the basics.

After replacing my stuff (and some aren't replaceable... hierlooms and such) Buy a DG rifle and go fairy hunting.

$20,000 could get me just about every non-NFA weapon of WWI and WWII in pretty good shape, maybe with room for one of those, too.
Realistically? Buy a few of the guns I shoot constantly, probably up the grade of M1 and AR I have now, maybe a few more uppers for the AR, and pocket the rest of the money for a year of college.
Oh, and add a Saginaw M1 Carbine to the collection. Only gun I have a desire to buy, but won't because of cost.

Which begs the question. How do you bait a Gun Fairy?
I mean besides guns, do they fall for pulled tooth from kids? I mean these gun fairies probably steal from other fairies like the Tooth Fairy.
Just wondering if a bunch of fake teeth scattered about would not draw them into range just as well as to having to get Air Softs or something.
'Sides I figure enough parents have these teeth from kids anyway, been wondering what to do with 'em all these years.

I would get a good, reliable 12gauge, .45acp, 5.56mm combo set, use the rest as bribe money to go find that friggin' fairy, and get my guns back...plus all of yours as well.
But, where would you begin to search for a gun fairy? Definately not San Francisco...I don't think that those fairies will associate with a "gun" fairy.

One Barrett semi-auto 50 cal. 7 to 8 thousand
Two quality 1911A1 45's - 2 to 3 thousand
One Browning Highpower - 500 to 600
One Custom Bolt Action 308 - 1/4 MOA - 2 thousand
One M1A Springfield Nat Match - 1,800
One AR15 - 1,000
One Shotgun - semi-auto - customized - 1,000
That would leave about 4 to 5 thousand dollars that I would use to purchase Ak's, shotguns, boltguns, pistols wholesale - that are popular sellers at gunshows and auctions - in order to sell them at a profit and then do it again and again

Somewhere between B and C.
I want:
one nice bolt rifle for medium thin skinned game (Custom shop Win 70 Featherweight)
one nice bolt rifle or double rifle for dangerous game (dunno what exactly)
one well built homeland defense rifle (nice AR with all the trimmings)
one nice SxS shotgun for small game and shotgun games
one nice revolver for "woods walking" and handgun hunting (M29 or Bowen 38/44 45Colt conversion)
one nice CCW piece (100% M19 or M13, etc)
a rimfire rifle (happy with my tuned 10/22, but it would be prettier)
a rimfire revolver (some variation of S&W's 6 shot k-frame 22lr)
No bargain priced models or "basic" versions. Each one would be built to my specs and tastefully embellished with nice wood, engraving, etc. I'd use up any left over money buy accumulating vintage S&W revolvers.
