Access can be the relatively cost free act of posting (anonymously for the security conscious) photos of those hallowed collections, and there is not much of that going on.
Oh, you didn’t say the above about “hallowed collections”? That statement would suggest you are at minimum including collector pieces. I don’t see where you only indicated the Cracker Barrel fireplace guns as the only guns to be included (and Cracker Barrel will let you photo their fireplace guns, not sure about handling though). So, yeah give us a break. PS, and btw, there are museums which display guns, such as the NRA museum. I doubt, however, they will let you handle or fire their collections. Sorry.
