I own about 15 guns. unlike some of my friends I don't carry or keep in the car. (or truck when I drive trucks)

last year I found a buck thrashing by the road, and regretted not having a gun to put him down - so I am considering getting a 22 for the trunk of the car. a couple of years ago I was in a similar situation - young deer hit by a car, hips crushed and thrashing, and was able to get home, get a rifle, and help him.

personally I think all men should master gun handling.
