No, but I am a good old Southern Boy, proud and true, and was in the military. Always loved shooting. Started with a pea shooter, and moved up. Quite a ways up actually.
It is only lately as I get older, that I am clearing out a ton of stuff I have collected over the years, guns, rolling stock, light watercraft, old electronics, clothes, old family stuff, etc.
I have begin to realize that the important stuff is things that have been in the family. A great new gun or an acquired antique muzzle loader doesn't come close to the intrinsic value of dad's old S&W snub nose which we had to turn the attic inside out to find, and mom wanted out of the house when he passed.
That gun has history, almost like a patina.
I realized that I had to reduce in size or buy another barn. We have two now, her big one and mine and hers which also is a garage.
