About twenty years ago I sold most of my gun collection in order to fix up a house for my family. This was before I ever thought of owning a Leica. Now I have left a lovely old Ansley Fox 12 gauge double, a K38 S&W revolver I bought in the 70's, a Ruger semiauto .22, and a blackpowder .45 - none of which has been shot in the last couple of years. I have a Leica I, two Leica II's, two IIIa's, a IIIc, M2, M4-2, and an SL. I guess that's more cameras. And they get a lot more use. But my admiration for firearms as mechanisms, artifacts, and historical instruments equals my similar feelings about cameras. Anybody want to take cameras in trade for a Colt Woodsman, or a Spencer or Martini rifle? Richard > > > Now for the questions: > > > > > > How many of us Leica owners are also gun owners?
