why do you have so many guns? thats the question i get asked alot, i usually say its your right, or jokingly ill say ill be ready when the zombies come! but i wanna know how many have you run into this question and whats your answer to them?

Its like asking "why do you own so many shoes"

 

Usually the asnwer is "because I want that many" or because "They all fill a different role" or "because I can". This is of course if you are dealing with women. You can of course subsitute shoes for golf clubs, cars, etc

 

Then you just say, well, thats why I have so many guns.

I bore easily

"I am a deep and complicated man, of many moods, many interests and varied hobbies and skills. Each serves a purpose, and each speaks differently to my soul"

 

See what they have to say after that.

Because they're fun...

I don’t have many people think it strange how many guns I own as I only have 7. Ammo is another story. 17,000+ rounds makes them ask why so much. Answer “Well the zombies aren’t going to kill themselves”

"I am a deep and complicated man, of many moods, many interests and varied hobbies and skills. Each serves a purpose, and each speaks differently to my soul"

I may have to steal that

Why have so many wrenches or screw drivers? Why collect a whole team of baseball cards? Each gun performs a different task and is suited for a different type of shooting. And because they are cool.

If asked by a woman I would reply - "Why do you have so many shoes?".

 

If asked by a man - "Why do you have so many golf clubs?"

Because I have a compulsive buying disorder.

 

 

 

IMHO, the less people know what you have the better off you are......YMMV........

i do have a very particular set of skills. skills i have acquired over a very long career. skills that make me a nightmare for people like you.

 

 

 

say that and see what happens

I feel it is the thrill of the "chase." There maybe a gun you have always wanted or a new line of guns from different manufacturers. But it is the thrill of "wanting the gun." I smoke alot of cigars and if you are hardcore cigar smoker, you know there certain hard to find smokes that I try to get my hands on. Once,I get that item...I go on chasing after another item...The thrill of the chase is what I call it....It is a great feeling.

I have the same answer with similar questions like "why do you do this?" Or "why do you have that?"

because I can!

Hardly anyone knows about the one gun that I currently own. (I hope to acquire a few more in the near future.) Seems like there is a stigma attached to being a gun owner, at least in North Jersey, so I don't like to talk about it much. That's why I have you guys.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. I have the same issue I just never knew how to explain it.

I will be using this winner as well.

Define alot.

why do you have so many guns? thats the question i get asked alot,

 

you only have 6 and theyre calling that alot??

I'd like to think the newspaper article about me will throw around terms like "arsenal" or "large cache"

Because I have a compulsive buying disorder.

 

I really do have that lol

The sheer inability to continue life without them

I'm a fashion plate and I don't like anything that clashes with the flannel of the day.

I tell them I buy guns that look cool in movies so I can look cool. Its the same way I choose sunglasses.

 

or

 

I am buying every gun I can that was in any Call of Duty game.

Because I hate paper.

I can arm other people in a emergency.

If i use 1 in a self defense sitiuation it may be taken by police.

I like to bury a few in case of a gun grab, hopefully they are not watching me while i bury them with sattelites.

I can't understand why there are people with hundreds of Hummel figures. I know one guy who has...ready for this....about 150 chess sets! My guns are just as dangerous to upstanding citizens as Hummel figures or chess sets. I also have over 100 cameras in my collections and they never hurt anyone.

I have more screwdrivers than guns. They are just as dangerous - ask Bernie Goetz... (pulling a reference from waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back)

I am sad to say, being a guy, I have too many guns, golf clubs, cars, motor cycles, and yes, even too may shoes!

You were doing well up until the Shoes part.
