That was a fine collection of long guns. Very sad that they were lost at sea! Good thing you took this picture before they were all gone.
I think I'll take a couple pictures of mine before I have a tragic boating accident, I have a feeling it could happen any time now.

I am worried about the impact that all the Firearms laying in the bodies of water around the Country are going to have on the Ecosystem. Seems that hundreds of millions of accidental drownings will have to have a congressional investigation to determine the impact on the Climate. After my accident, all I'm left with is a rusty, single shot .22 Rifle and half a sandwich bag of fuzzy greenish colored 22 shorts. I hope they will still fire if I have to supplement my Families Government Rations with a little Squirrel meat from the front yard.

Was transporting my 1,100 pound gun safe with all of my guns across Lake Superior when my kayak swamped and the gun safe went straight to the bottom. Took my GPS with it so I don't have a clue where it went down. Luckily I was able to re-enter the kayak, bail it out and paddle three days to the shore. Cannot believe my bad luck!!!!!

Losing them at sea won't stop them from ripping your house apart trying to find them.
They are not obligated to repair your house after they trash it.

Here in the People's Republik of Kaleeforneeyah... we are not allowed to "possess" banned guns.
We can "own" them out-of-state, but cannot "possess" them inside CA.
The state has no jurisdiction over what you own outside of CA.

Fantastic collection! Too bad about that boating accident! My firearms got buried during that big VA earthquake we had in 2011. I need to get a metal detector and find them someday...
