Been thinking of dabbing into buying silver, mostly because it’s cheaper for me and easier to begin with. But someone I know who is a big gun buyer told me to, instead of gold and silver, go with finer rifles and pistols. More collectible. Not the $10,000 ones, more more in the 1-2k range pistols and rifles. I’m more familiar with them personally, and I don’t think they ever go down in value, from the ones I’ve had for years now.
Although I’m still very interested in buying silver or maybe one day gold, but what some of you, smarter than me financially, think about this? Do’s and don’t’s? Could guns provide similar financial holdings as silver, if the dollar goes poof? Thoughts?

Can't lone wolf it, have to be in a group. He want into some detail on security (most homes already had a 6' wall around them), always have friendly eyes outside with radios so they can confirm if friendlies are coming in over the wall or bad guys. I doubt I still have the link as it was an old article, I'll see what I can find.
