One of the things I'm really careful with is having firearms that are superfluous to my needs; I don't seem much point in having multiple firearms that perform the same tasks, except for my back-ups of course. So, if something doesn't get used or can be replaced with something else then it's moved on; the same goes with potential new purchases - it has to make sense.
Lol...batteries? People are so dumb at times...although most people are so clueless with firearms that I guess it makes sense they say dumb-ass stuff like that.
One thing I find so amusing (and pathetic) is firearms handling and usage on TV and movies and all...I don't know who they hire to teach the actors but it's (mostly) just laughable.
