I do not view my guns as a financial investment.  They are an aesthetic investment.  I don’t like them in a safe, where I cannot see them.  Nor do I like them “displayed” where they are the focus.  I like them littered about as if left by the last user, and awaiting the next.  I have some on the wall, but in the same way a user would put them up after coming in from being out and about.  Tools of a trade.  

I grew up in a house like that.  Loaded guns all throughout the house.  We were taught to use and respect them at a very young age. Never knew what might pop up in the yard or out behind the barn.  Visitors at night were either lost or trouble.
