Narrative:

I was on a special VFR approach into kjln. I had visual contact with the ground at 2200 ft MSL. I had visual contact with the runway 2.5 mi to 3 mi out. I made a normal approach, did my first gump check at 4 mi out and my second gump at 2 mi out. I touched down and my main gear collapsed. I had no indication that there was any problem until my propellers were in contact with the runway. There was no proximity horn/bell. I slid to a stop, pulled the mixtures, manifold pressure, and propellers, shut off the electrical system and exited the plane without further incident.
