Do more people own long-guns vs. handguns? Personal Observation.

[predator20]

I have 19 handguns, 15 long-guns currently. I sold 5 handguns over the past three months, just to thin things down. (At 24, that's the largest I've had at a single time.) I've sold/traded countless handguns over the years, but I've only sold one long-gun.

I enjoy shooting handguns at the range more than I do rifles or shotguns. So maybe that's why I end up selling pistols more than I do rifles. When it comes to collections, every person is different. Handguns are nice to collect because they take up a lot less room.
