I never buy a firearm with any intention of selling it. Over the years I've given a few to friends and relatives, but for monetary investment only? No, they are worth much more than mere money.

Amen! I would only sell them to put food on the table.

sadly the fact is that guns & ammo are a much better bet than stocks & bonds as investment instruments today...

its a double edged sword for a guy like me, who presently cant afford to buy up a bunch, just to hold for future 'profit' or even as insurance that I have lots of someones watchin my back in the event that they become more valuable than the paper they were bought with...

unbridled capitalism works, but alas when the gov screws with the market, purposely or not, we will always get a measure of 'greed' from those who seek solid portfolios and have the means to invest...

If I could I would, but then the flip side today is that many who are buyin em up wont have the balls to hold em when theyre outlawed which will result in a market flood that destroys the price...unintended consequences X2...

What if a friend wants to buy one off you?

The only gun to leave my hands was my first Glock, a .40 caliber Model 23.

Something was hinky with the barrel, it always started to tumble bullets after they flew about 10-15 yards.

I traded it for a Model 34, a real tack driver.

I’ve still got about 1500 rounds of mixed .40 round nose and HP ammo and no .40 to shoot it out of.

I’ll probably hang onto it for now.

I’m with you, Joe. I’ve done the same thing and continue to own firearms with no intention of selling any of them.

Be Ever Vigilant!
