It's a "need to know" question that does not require an answer,
truthful or otherwise, unless one feels compelled to swagger a bit, or
perhaps share display of proudly-owned possessions to one who might
appreciate them. A polite deflection is simply to respond by asking
the asker about an interest of his or hers.


My friends don't have to ask, they have likely shot a few of them. For all
