How many guns do you own?

[bulldog]

Not enough! Still wanting an 8 shot S&W PC.

Why stop at 20+ why not 100+, you might be surprised

I guess guns are like Lays potato chips, you can't have just one!

With 47 respones, all categories are well represented except zero replies for one gun.

Perhaps Bacon is the same as guns and Lays chips, probably why it is so popular on this site.

Way more than I need but not nearly as many as I want. I'm 79 yo next month. Should be selling off my guns instead of always looking for "that gun".

A friend tonight asked how many Dracos should one man own. I replied it depends on how many sets of dinner China your wife has. As long as it's less than a 1:1 ratio you're OK. You never know when you're going to have a lot of people over you want to entertain, right?

This led me to wonder how many guns the members here own. I've heard the "why do you need more than one" comment so many times I'd like some reference points for the next conversation.

I'm at 3, but 4th is on the way thanks to UPS. (side question, it's shipping to FFL but on UPS.com I can change the destination before it arrives. Does UPS let you do that with guns or is it locked due to potential hazardous shipment?)

My wife is into scrapbooking and each album she puts together costs as much as a gun!!! Lucky me

There you go, another good example. They have their hobbies, we have ours.
If she loved you, she'd make a scrapbook of your gun collection

For all you who lost yours in tragic boating accidents where do you guys boat at?

 

[Titanium Man]

Sure are a lot of guys in tragic boating accidents, but they never give me the horrid details. I tried.

 

[Black_Wolf]

More than I need, but still not enough.

I'm curious about the 4 who don't own but follow the site. Interesting demographic breakdown

Are you saying it's a bad thing that non gun owner are menbers?
I think it's a good thing.They are willing to learn about guns, gun laws and more before they actually become gun owner.
That's very wise.I see many people who just buy guns and dont know anything about guns prior to that, some of them carry and dont know anything about carry laws or self defense laws.
Also some users are under 18.
I made a thread about user's age.I think 3 or 4 were under 18.
I know a new menber who is 13, "Mosinowner" if im right about the name.
I think he's a shooter but since he's parents own the guns for him he's not actually a gun owner.
That doesn't mean he cannot post here, plus he sounds like a good kid.

I'm in the middle, looks like I better get busy.

AJS357 capsize his boat & all 100 guns in my collection went under

Man that day sucked bad. Why in the hell did we take them all with us?
Lost my beer and smokes that day too.

Never seem to have enough!

Here is a picture of me with few of my handguns, im not really into handguns (like you can tell) that's why I just own a couple of them, I keep long guns in a larger room.
I dont have a lot, I know that, I hope to buy a few more soon to finally have a decent collection.

LMAO ! ! ! ! ! !

I am somewhere between 5 and 20. All long guns except a small frame Astra .38. The long guns range from .22 to 20 ga. to 30-30 to .50 cal. black powder flintlock. And I have a blast shooting them all.
And soon to add a .45 1911 to the pile.

This is where I got my personal gun rule #3: NEVER SELL THAT WHICH HAS BEEN HANDED DOWN TO YOU... no matter how bad you need the money.

I follow this rule as well.

 

[LionWeight]

I didn't start out wanting to own more than 1. Just seemed to happen. Talk to people about guns enough and someone is going totalk to you and say they want to sell one. Sometimes even though you don't need or even want it, the deals just too good to pass up. Next thing you know your an AARP member and you need another safe....And another...or so I hope.

 

[Goober135]

Nope, not at all. I just said curious. I started out enjoying shooting and firearm discussions before I actually owned any. But to actively follow a site dedicated to them without owning I found interesting. I did not expect to see that many.
