Pretty much all of mine are for sale for the right price, though I try and keep "gun money" in my guns and I'll always have something(s) for defense and target, I don't believe in being unarmed. My liking for firearms is in the freedom they represent and the capabilites they give me, primarily self defense.
The only gun I've ever owned with sentimental significance is a Sears shotgun, 16ga pump that was my dad's. I got it as the eldest after he passed when I was 8 but gave it to my youngest brother who wasn't born until 2weeks after dads passing. Beyond that nothing gifted nor of great personal meaning.
To me guns are tools, very cool tools, but still tools. I like my tools alot but believe first and formost in function and utility. My most valued guns are a Glock 17L and a RRA national match flattop AR. I also have a strong yen for a Ruger LCR. All outstanding in their own way, but generally not alot to be sentimental about.
