How many is too many??

I don't recall the subject coming up when I called to register or transfer....

Ha's off fellows. We are in the presence of a exemplary Gunnut.
 
I dont know, however I got invited to a wedding the other day. I went to my closet to get dressed and all I had was one old sport coat and 1 pair of 10 year old dress pants with the ass tore out and 35 guns. It was only then that I realized I needed another gun.

After seeing Ganderite's stack of papers there, I don't feel so bad with my own, what now seems like a laughably paltry, collection of 7 old Winchesters.
 
Laminated. Only have two of those. I don't know if several hundred of those would be easier to handle or not. maybe they would, because you could sort them. All the pistols in one box, the rifles, in another, and then sorted by caliber or something.

My first registrations are not laminated. They are a registration certificate with my name on it and the RCMP then typed (as in "typewriter" (Google it, kids)) each new gun I added. That was in the 50's. The 1950s.

I wish the feds ahd given us the access to our own files as "read only" and allowed us to sort them ourselves. I have to thumb through a lot of paper to find the cert I want.
 
I don't think there is an advantage. If anything it is a disadvantage, because you are open to more police inspections.

I suspect the classification came about because a number of people did not have any "shooting" justifications to own firearms. They did not compete. They were not members of clubs. They did not hunt. So "collection" became the reason for having a gun.

Easier to write than "Just because I want to."
