Your controversial stance on gun storage

[Alan]

I don't safe-queen anything. Every gun I own gets shot. If it's too valuable or rare to shoot, I won't buy it. Guns sitting in safes as investments aren't guns, they're furniture. Use your tools or sell them to someone who will. Collector culture is fine, but not for me..

I’m with you, guns deserve range time not just collecting dust and admiration.

I agree... Every gun serves a purpose and is a "tool" much like a hammer, a screwdriver, a belt sander, etc...

My father openly displayed his 1977 Winchester model 70 .308 w/scope (his IBM retirement present!), and his beloved JC Higgins late 50's bolt action 16ga shotgun with a poly choke on the muzzle (wow, remember them?). He had a custom made, wooden 2-slot, gun rack made for him, and he screwed it into the wall above my parents bedroom headboard.
