I hope I never have to use a gun on anyone. The Python is a used piece that I got in a trade. Oh yeah, the .357 is loud, really loud ! I keep it for personal and home protection. I do have a carry permit, but only carry a weapon when I travel. If I go out of state I check to see if the states I go through or visit, recognize Tennessee carry permits.

A few years ago I started attending gun shows with my nephew. It wasn't long before I began buying different guns. Didn't take long until I realized I could only shoot one at a time. It's nice to get them out and look at them, but I finally realized I didn't need a dozen guns in my home. It's easy to get hooked on collecting them.

My nephew has about 90-100. He also has a walk-in safe and lots of insurance on the guns.
