I have guns that have been/will be passed down to me. I am struggling with sentimentality verses guilt, and trying to figure out why I am attached to some guns, not to others. To be fair, I have never really, wanted to get rid of a gun, and have only sold 4? I think that were in my possession at some point, one I will get back one day, one I shouldn't have gotten rid of, two I had or have something else that does the same job as good or better, and so I don't miss. I kind of limit myself to what can fit in the safe, (I have young kids) and I don't let myself have any more guns than I am old (another rule I made up to control numbers). Anyway, I have a few guns that were Christmas presents from my Dad when I was a teen and started hunting. I have one that I got from my Dads aunt that means more to me than any of those, and means more to me than my granddads shotgun, (1912 winchester), because I don't know that I had even ever seen that gun until he went into a nursing home. My Dad has a couple guns that I remember fondly, and there is a Fox double gun out there that my great uncle shot himself with that I would buy back if I could find it. I guess all this to say, what do you consider a "sacred gun" one you can't get rid of, one you have to keep forever, no matter what? Should I feel guilty for wanting to sell a 1912 winchester because I have no attachment to it just because it belonged to my granddad? Is sentiment the same as guilt, or is this all just some bizarre hoarding instinct?
