I have no guns at all, sold the lot more then ten years ago. Don't miss them at all.I dont enjoy killing anything except rats, not even owned a gun for 17 years and only had that to drive rooks of the barley, never been on a shoot in my life although quite often have a few pheasants given to me, we have at least a dozen deer on a 70 acre part of the farm and ignore any damage they do. I saw five fawns in one 7 acre field last month when mowing, I had to cut it in several odd bits to ensure I didnt kill any, We try and encourage as much wildlife as we can, we dug a pond about 30 years ago and it teems with bird life when we remove predators.
Ah. I do have a 1913 BSA .177 air rifle that my Great Grandgather gave to me when I was 13 years old. I lost it for a long time but when sorting out my workshop re-discovered it in its slip. Oh joy!
