Amazing! Why would he be selling his guns?

Amazing! Why would he be selling his guns?

No idea! Maybe others will have insight.

 

[PARA45]

Maybe he doesn't have anyone to leave them to, so why not sell them.

 

[CJW]

Amazing! Why would he be selling his guns?

He's 78 years old for one thing.

He's 78 years old for one thing.

Exactly

 

[Altitude sickness]

I’m guessing it’s a tiny fraction of his collection

 

[375 Ruger Fan]

Rumor has it Selleck needs the cash, apparently the reverse mortgage didn’t work out for him.

 

[Flewis]

He’s down to his last 50 million.

Maybe he has Rosie O'Donnell flashbacks whenever he looks at his guns.

Amazing! Why would he be selling his guns?

I’ve often thought gun-friendly celebrities buy guns and just sit on them as an investment and then cash out using their name. Dunno.

 

[375 Ruger Fan]

I’m holding out for the red Ferrari from Magnum PI

 

[Flewis]

No he is a shooter.

 

[Wishfulthinker580]

IIRC quite a few of his were sold through Steve Barnett 2-3 years ago

 

[Red Leg]

No he is a shooter.

And hunter.

If my mustache isn’t a dead giveaway… I’ve been a huge Tom Selleck fan boy ever since the 1970s (I still consider Magnum P.I to be perhaps the greatest TV series in existence, because of the very realistic way that it portrayed Vietnam War veterans as normal yet traumatized people as opposed to unhinged mentally unstable killers as portrayed in a lot of media). Tom is an extremely passionate hunter and firearms aficionado and an unrepentant supporter of the American 2nd Amendment. I remember how he once very calmly defended his pro-firearms views on the “Rosie O Donell” show when that big gorilla was constantly trying to provoke him with her anti gun rants.

Yes, he is auctioning off a small part of his extensive firearms collection. When a man gets older, he wants to hold on to a few special firearms for the rest of his (hopefully long) life and wants to dispense with the ones which might not interest him anymore.

He still owns a very impressive collection of custom made .45 ACP M1911 pistols (mostly manufactured by Smith & Wesson) and at least 1 best grade 12 gauge James Purdey & Sons sidelock ejector.

I wish more more of those modern hypocritical Hollywood soy boy types (who publicly blame firearms for every single tragedy, yet have no issue in making money off hundreds of films by brandishing firearms onscreen) followed his example.

I don’t have any insight into why Tom Selleck would be selling some or all of his firearms, but I expect I will be in a similar position one day.

My kids aren’t terribly interested in hunting, nor are they at all ‘gun’ people. As in, they are fine with firearms, but see them more as tools than works of art, as I do. So once my hunting days are more or less behind me, and particularly if I have some advance notice of my impending departure, I think I would make life easier for my executor and dispose of my firearms myself. I also think I’m best positioned to know the value of my guns - certainly more than my executor or my children.

So at his age, makes sense to me.

I get it. I have traveled the world pursuing my passion for hunting/shooting and managed to obtain over the years a collection of highly desirable shooting guns. Now that I am older, my kids have no interest in hunting and son-in-laws are not shooters. I brought in a shop and they hauled everything except my impossible to part with guns. In the process of giving away/selling all of my reloading equipment that no longer gets used.
