Weapon condition

[Tnhawk]

It's interesting almost everyone says they don't keep safe queens. Yet when they are placed for sale, a high percentage of guns are 'new, unfired' condition.

So, somebody is lying evidently....

Maybe the guns people are most likely to sell are the one's they've never fired, or only fired a few times.; maybe because they think they will have more value, they are duplicates, or they just didn't like them...

Personally, I have several in that condition.

Some people don't actually have a safe.

Safe queens are a waste of a good gun. Unless it’s unsafe, guns are meant to be used.

I don’t put much stock in claimed round counts unless I know and trust the person.

My favorite are the ones claiming they have few rounds through a revolver and are the original owner but it has a prominent turn ring on it.

Seeing as I never spawned no bastards or kids other wise my guns are my daughters, I just want to see them go to a good home.

wait... Daddy?

I don't have any that I haven't shot, but I could see if I had one that was a beautiful gun with engraving work or inlaid wood stock or something, I wouldn't shoot it. I would just admire it.

I bet your bed is pretty uncomfortable with all them guns under the mattress

 

[Maverick44]

The only reason I wouldn't shoot a gun is if it's unsafe or if it is so unbelievably rare and valuable that it basically belongs in a museum. Seeing as I don't have the kind of money that would be necessary to buy something like that, that last exception is not a concern I'll ever have to worry about.

No fix needed. I said what I said.

If I could afford a $100,000 gun, I’d shoot it. A lot.

I actually have two safes. But I know many that don't even have a cheap locker.

Maverick, never say never........

I would never have believed a couple of the guns that were gifted to me..........just from being friendly polite and courteous to folks.........

But they probably have the latest in expensive electronics........lol......

I reckon we differ on that.
I have a 100+ year old shotgun that was gifted to our family , which I believe to be safe to shoot, but wouldn't consider it.

 

[glenbo]

I've bought several over the past 10 years that I still haven't shot. Age, health, time needed for other stuff sometimes get in the way of range time. And some I just don't want to shoot because they're too pretty. And I hate cleaning guns.

 

[SQLGeek]

I reckon we differ on that.

Yep and that’s quite alright.

 

[rotor]

Every gun I own I have shot and tested but many if not most become safe queens after that.
