I didn't vote because you don't have an 'all of the above' option which would have been my answer.

Self defense is the most applicable answer for me but I have 101 reasons why I am a firearms enthusiast/collector.

Didn't vote, because there are no reasons to list SD-Home and SD-Carry in separate categories. SD is SD, and it's a human right, period.

Many reasons, but I'd have to say defending myself and my own is a god given right.

Home and self defense are a given but they are primarily a hobby for me. I sort fall into most of those categories but primarily I am a hobbiest.

I've been fascinated by them since I was a little kid.
I believe in the God given natural right of self defense.
I like shooting them.
I like hunting.
I like people who like guns, shooting, and hunting.
Pretty much every reason you have and then some.

One (or more) of each.
You also left out:
Customization host.
To see if I could build one from a box of parts.
The guy said I could have it because there are no magazines to be found. Had to make one.
So, yeah, as Jimbo said:
All of the above.

All of the above, essentially. I jumped into the hobby with both feet in 2008 and never really looked back.
