Gun Porn/Collection & Retirement

dadoser

Master Class
After a 39 yr career in education (mostly Higher ed) I have decided to embrace retirement (Mainly because at 62 I can get SS, with a pension and go on my wife's medical insurance).

In the past 3 years I have been both culling and expanding the collection to prep for this time. Weds. 4/1 is my final day at work.

I'm not saying I will never buy another gun, but if I never do, I'm very satisfied with the current collection. I have went with both quality and firearms that truly interest me and I enjoy shooting. (Never got into, or had an interest in distance shooting)

Purchase philosophy at this point - with a very full safe - If I buy one, I need to sell one.

Anyone else change up their firearm purchase and/or practice perspective in retirement or going into retirement.
Please share with me any wisdom any of you retired folks have for me as I step into this next phase of life. Thanks.


Here is most of the non-handgun going-into-retirement collection. I am very happy with all of these.

556, 300 blackout, 9mm, 10mm, and 12 gauge represented.
(Missing from this pic is the Ruger 10/22 I've had since the mid 1980s)
