Recently laid off from a big corporation, currently working private security and waiting to get into the police academy. I don't have 1% of the guns some guys on here do, but it's enough to suit me fine.

I'm old and retired. I'm also forced to shoot a lot because I have to get rid of all the ammo I enjoy reloading. There now, don't you feel bad for me? 
I am 38. I work for the phone company as an outside repair technician. I am single.
I only have 5 guns lol, which is probably pretty conservative compared to most here. .22 handgun, .38 special snubbie revolver, Colt Python .357, a Springfield XD .45, and a recently converted Saiga .308. I also have a 9mm XD subcompact but that is for sale on consignment.

I'm male, 54 now, a court clerk by profession. Have 2 adult daughters from my first marriage, divorced.
Have been buying/collecting guns & shooting since .. oh must've been 1980 or thereabouts. You don't have to spend enormous amounts of money to gather a collection over a period of what.. 28 years, do you ?
I reckon I spend about 5 % of my paycheck on guns & gun-related items.
I presently own 17 handguns & 3 rifles, with 2 more handguns to come
shortly. & I handload
I only shoot for fun, don't hunt ( by inclination) & living where & how I do nowadays, don't really really actually NEED guns for self-defense (thank God).
My present partner isn't intrested in guns much, but -for instance- the other night she said "You haven't forgotten there's bowling-pin shooting contest two weeks from now, have you ? You got enough ammo ? shouldn't you be reloading or something ?"
Just GOTto love that girl.

Old, retired, divorced, my job is to help the struggling economy by buying reloading materials, spending hours in my loading room and returning the bullets to the earth. I am great at my job!

Married for almost 11 years - with two children (5 year old son and 8 year old daughter)
I have my own business and my wife works in the medical field.
I live out in the country (Oklahoma) on 5 acres with 2 dogs, chickens, 2 horses, some goats and other animals. It's kind of nice living out in the country. If I desired - I could sit ouside on my deck (naked) and shoot at targets - nobody would care.

Who I am
I am 31 with a wife, 4 kids (2 boys 2 girls) a mother-in-law and a grandfather in my house. I work as an estimator for a commercial construction company. I have all the guns I need, in that I have enough to do whatever task needs to be done, deer, rabbits, clay birds, etc, but I don't think I will ever have all I want. My trick for adding to the collection is to be patient. When I get an itch for a certain gun, I spend several months or a year saving and searching for the right one at the right price. Of course there are always a few that call with the siren song that you just have to take home right then. Remember it's easier to ask for forgiveness than it is for permission.
