Buy a big one. Seriously.

Started with a 3 gun. Upgraded to a 6 gun. Added a 5 gun. Got the 5 gun extended to 8 guns. Added a 6 gun.

Now have 3 cabinets (plus one in my office at work) and 2 separate ammo safe's with 2 cabinets having locking top boxes.

Are you some kind of arms trader?

No. Both myself and wife shoot. We've got a good collection:
Wife 3 shotguns
Me 5 shotguns (1 on FAC)
5 rifles
2 dart guns

You know when your collection is getting too big when you look at the space under the stairs and think that'll make a nice custom gun cabinet

I have one, and two spaces free in the cabinet

Only shoot one at a time, won't be going pheasant shooting and doubt I'll have a chauffeur loading the matching pair  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I'm impressed
Not really used a shotgun much, but used to shoot targets with air-rifles and .22 bolt-actions. But that's my limit, nothing really impressive compared to yourself.
But, what is a FAC? Are dart guns literally for drugging animals or is there more to it?

FAC fire arms certificate

I assume it will be a semi auto shotgun, that can hold more tan 3 cartridges, and therefore needs to be on a different licence to a shot gun certificate Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

just the 1 shotgun for me at the mo too but i'm tempted by a semi auto..

What animals do you dart? Thinks with sharp teeth, like on tv? are you a vet or something?

not sure on the rules for ammo, but i place my shotgun shells in a large safe with digital keypad, not a legal requirement, but with kids about its safer

I know what your meaning, my safe can carry probably about a thousand carts, but i only buy 250 at a time, so after a afternoon shooting i'll have about half that left and that makes a lot of room for gases to expand

I also ran this past my FAO, who still advised my to get one with having kids in the house, afterall if there was a fire big enough to set off what i had stored in the house, I wouldn't be in the house Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis
