While I might say, "I Don't own a gun I don't shoot, I suppose that is slightly different from "I Won't own a gun I can't shoot."

Perhaps a better way of saying this is that, "I Can't own a gun I won't shoot."

I have no idea, not even an order of magnitude guess what that Maurice Ottmar rifle costs. But I am quite sure, it is not in my price range. I also don't have Van Gogh originals, that I don't hang on the wall. I just don't have a ticket to play on those playgrounds.

FWIW, the most valuable rifle I own is that J. Lang double rifle. It deer hunted all but the very last night of the season with me this year. It was not fired, but it's condition suffered some for the experience, so be it I guess.

Meanwhile, do I own not very many guns? I don't know what "not very many" is to you, but by my count of several years ago, it was in the range of 30ish. Since then more have been acquired than sold, and three are being birthed at very locations around the country as we speak. If that's not very many, so be it. It's what I got, I like what I got, and I shoot'em.
