Would a car guy go on to a car related forum and not post pictures of his car, or some upgrade that was just put on there? They put a lot of time and money into their cars and they want to share the results with other like minded individuals. It's a shared interest and a shared appreciation.
Looking at other people's pictures gives me a lot of ideas of what I do or don't like or ideas for future projects. I don't feel the need to throw a picture up of every run of the mill gun I pick up (do you really need to see a picture of a Rem model 550 22lr). There's nothing wrong with showing something that's a little different or that others may not see every day. :twocents:
I'll never understand the paranoia about random internet terrorists kicking down your door because of a picture or a post that they read online.

It seems like the "guns and ammo" section of an outdoor enthusiast forum would be pretty boring without pictures of guns. :dunno:

I certainly get tired of it. I could show off plenty of new toys, whether its guns, fishing equipment, optics, trucks, etc., but I choose not to. Both here and on Facebook. Just don't see the point of it, and when it comes to guns and other expensive toys, I don't really want everyone knowing I have them, whether they know me or not. And I don't mean I get tired of everyone, just the ones who feel the need to show off everything, every time they get something new which often times is several times a week. Just gets a little old.
True! :tup:

The outright hilarious part about the gun a week guy is when the truth really comes out, the firearms/ land they profess to own isn't even theirs!

I don't see any real reason not to share a picture or two of a few guns you are proud of. Kinda like sharing a picture of your children. Are you afraid the child molesters and kidnappers are coming to beat down your door to take them? There is a lot a guy can fear now days, reality is I don't like to live in fear. I do what is legal, morally and ethically right and otherwise what makes me feel good. If sharing a pic here and there is that so be it. If you want what I have....well come and get it....I will give you the ammo first!! :rolleyes:
With that being said...I do agree that sharing your arsenal would in general be a poor decision.

Stew away! Seeing a trust isn't public record and your not possibly being able to be further out of the loop. You are clueless. That only leaves gossip and rumor, shame, shame.
landon, is your response to me?
I'm not seeing where my post implies I am referring to you, or anybody in particular for that matter.
You should try and not be so narcissistic.

Agree that a pic here or there. I direct this more to the boastfull type that profess close to mini arsenals. I would rather those around not know exactly what I own. Guns have become harder to finder, pricier to buy, some may soon be banned, thus raising demand and price, and there is no 100% background check on a stolen gun. Just saying the temptation is getting greater for the badguys.
Also, some of us have had things stolen out of our vehicles. A smash and grab might be more likely if bad guy knows you have a Kimber or two?? Just food for thought. Each of us have to decide for ourselves how we react to this strange new world. Wish everyone :) luck in that!

Yes Jreb. Many have come and gone thru my hands, both as my livliehood, and as personally owned...probably more than most on this site combined. But what ones do I still own??? Hmmm...Will just let everyone wonder...hence, the op question. Not all agree, and thats fine. :)If you tired of looking at gun pics don't look at them!

What is your opinion, given the current state of affairs in this country, of showing off your firearm collections on sites like this (or facebook, etc) so "everyone" looking or maybe searching, knows what you have for an arsenal?? Me, I'm just an archer (wink wink)..nothing but "bows" (wink wink) at my homestead! State your view...
Who is showing off? This thread is useless without pictures!

Not sure I would display all, but having said that, I live vicariously through what others on here do post up :tup:
Wether it is pictures of a trip to Africa, or a sweet AR build. I enjoy looking at them. If all of you stopped posting you "arsenals" this site would be pretty friggin boring.
I have used info from Holster pictures to trigger recommendations from info people have posted.
Where else can you get an honest appraisal and opinion from someone that has what you may want in the future, be it a knife, rifle, pack in or hunting trip?
Heck if I was envious of all of you for posting things I do not have, what the heck am I saying, I am totally envious of what some of you have, please do not stop posting just because I am jealous and wish I had what you have.
Just saying, I think :dunno:
