a small 22 that belonged to my father in law, a S/W 5 shot revolver and a hunting rifle..We don't hunt and rarely target shoot. They are locked up, out of harms way with no ammo, but I can't for the life of me understand why we own 3 guns. My brother in law owns 23, but he's a raging Texas gun nut. I'll sell all three for a trip to Hawaii.
