I keep a wheel book with serial numbers. The only time I look at it is when I buy (add) or sell (subtract). I donāt keep a hard count as the number is always changing, and I find keeping anything but a running count futile.I was asked this today, and after pausing for a moment I said "No, not off the top of my head. Do you know how many shoes you own?"
She didn't.
So, do you know how many guns you have?
Just in CA?The real question should be how many gun safes do you own?
Anywhere counts.Just in CA?
I also have a crazy spreadsheet on all my guns. Including all my long guns, AR Builds, Inventory of Parts/Accessories. The file has 12 worksheets inside it. It started off small about 11 years ago, made a spreadsheet of previous guns that I've owned from 80's, and then just added more and more info over the years. It has a lot info, including Serial Numbers, DROS Numbers, FFL, Transaction Date, Pics and who I bought/sold the gun from in PPT. Also, every penny I ever spent on it, and on what.I have a spreadsheet with all my guns, what I paid for them or remember paying for them in case of the ones I bought long ago. Copies of DROS and receipts also in the sheet, at least for the ones bought in the last decade, before that I was not organized. But surprisingly I found the receipt in a box for my very first gun ever back in 1976 (S&W mod 66), proudly scanned it and put it in spreadsheet. And by the way, I have never sold a gun.
That spreadsheet is out of date now that I type this, I just bought and finished a Kibler Long Rifles flintlock a few weeks ago, I have to add it to the spreadsheet when done typing here. But yes I know how many exactly.
Also have a rough estimate spreadsheet for ammo, but I shoot and reload too much for that to be accurate![]()
