40. Nothing should happen to you. You own a couple of guns that you keep at home.

But...if it were up to me, you wouldn't be able to buy that rifle legally, now. That would be considered an assault rifle, wouldn't it? Its purpose is to kill people, not for hunting or skeet shooting. But for rifles inherited or previously bought, what you own is what you own.

I have a 38 revolver, myself, for protection.
