Ok. Was reading a post on glock talk, where a poster got hammered after he suggested that some people spend toooo much on guns, and not enough on equipment, ammo and training.

What do you think?

 

Personally, I think anything beyond 2 pistols, 2 rifles, and a shotgun, is a luxury and not a must have. 2 Pistols just in case, a 22LR, and a bigger 223/308, and a shottie for crowd control, home defense.

 

Even right now, I noticed with myself, my next planned purchases would be offset by selling something else, that I just do not need, and I am sure that would leave more guns that would just be safe queens. IE, my brother has all safe queens now.

 

So right now, I am at... 4 handguns, a 22lr, 2 9mm's, and a 45.

and.... 5 rifles. 2 Mosins, a 22lr plinker, an AK, and a Remington 700.

 

I can see adding another one or two bolt actions (338 Lapua and a 223), and another 1 or 2 pistols, fine, maybe 3. (browning high power, a wheel gun of some sort, and yes... I want a 50AE, Gold Desert Eagle in Tiger camo)

 

ok, forgot the few ar's and ak's. so make that 2 more.

 

Once that is complete... I dont know. I would rather spend more time and money on magazines and reloading. lol.

 

so.... questions.

 

Can you have tooo many guns?

Do you see a limit for yourself?

And how many total do you own?

Can you have too many guns?

 

Hmm - can you have too much sex?

 

 

Do you see a limit for yourself?

And how many total do you own?

Hey, Its your money. If you have the cash, I see no reason why you cant buy anything you want.

3 times? Read Matthew 18:22...

HAHA, except the People's Republic of New Jersey may have a problem with that

 

Can you have tooo many guns?

 

No

No

What are you writing a book? Leave this chapter out!

well, here is the other thing though.

 

You have 20 guns, all in different calibers. the guns and purchases I have planned, are along the caliber lines I can easily get or reload for.

 

223/308

22lr/9mm

 

only oddballs are 7.62x54r and the soon to be 338 l.

 

But seriously, wtf are you goign to do with 100 guns? look at them? how about shooting them. unless you are really collecting them, or are a dealer.

This is America Maks, you can have as many houses, cars, kids, TV's, shoes, or whatever else you want!

Obviously..... I am not saying legall how many should you own... but practically, and if that money is better spent on ammo and training.

I think its a personal decision ultimately. However, I do agree with the notion that without the proper amount of training/equipment, what good is hardware? (Without software.)

 

I know people who have 4+ handguns, a few rifles, and two shotguns-- but maybe 100 rounds/shells for each at best. I also know that aside from range time, they have no formal instruction. I don't think its a bad thing necessarily (because, like I said, its a personal decision), but I do feel that they're coming up short. I do not think it makes them irresponsible owners at all (because I feel that some may read that instead).

 

Then of course, if its someone prerogative to be only a collector, then I can't argue against that logic either.

 

Personally, I'm going to streamline my firearms and ammunition.

Can you have tooo many guns?

Do you see a limit for yourself?

And how many total do you own?

 

No

 

No

 

Enough

Can you have tooo many guns?

As long as all your other responsibilities are taken care of, then no.

 

Do you see a limit for yourself?

Money and space dictate the limit. Sadly, I don't own any carwashes

 

And how many total do you own?

i don't know exactly how many i have, but i recently acquired all of my fathers guns(did not pass away; had like a nervous break down type thing)......so my collection pretty much quadrupled.

Two handguns, 9mm, and .22, 1 rifle .22, and 1 shotgun 12 gauge. Can you have to many, I suppose, but I must buy more....

Let's see

 

NO

NO

none of your business but you already know because you have seen them.

lol.

 

i am not trying to get people to post if they dont want to. just go put it in the poll.

Why don't some ppl want to post how many?

6 rifles, 2 shotguns, 2 pistols... and 1 musket. 11 guns. Chad, want to sell me one of those tac 12 gauges?

Why don't some ppl want to post how many?

OPSEC?

I already answered. your poll bottomed out too early.

Well, if you have nothing to hide, whats the problem?

 

No thanks sparny

I lost count Chad

Knowing the number is the first step towards awknoledgement of a potential issue. =P

But I would figure the subject is taboo to alot of people.... , like income and size of your.... _________

oh i have many issues. Too many to acknowledge and deal with. i just keep them bottled up with the voices.
