    How many firearms?

    A comment in another thread I was reading got me wondering how many firearms most CalGunners have. I am not going to put my specific number in writing but I will contribute to the anonymous poll. At one point my goal was to have one for every year of my age but I am more than double that now. I have never sold a weapon and you can look at my collection and see the various phases. There was the broke college student phase that was very utilitarian, there WWII surplus phase, the I am actually making decent money now tacticool novelty phase, and now the I am bored with black rifles I want lever actions, rolling blocks and Civil War weapons phase.

        I have a feeling that is what most of us would say in person or if our names were attached to the answers.

        Or this which is how I have responded before. I have also been known to say, "More than I really need but not as many as I want."

            We all started there. For me that was 22 years ago when I was 15. When I was 15 my grandfather gave me his father's Westernfield .22 which was my first firearm.

                Mine was a Marlin 989 M-2 51 years ago. Still have it.

                      When asked, I tell people I have more than one. If they ask how many, I tell them I have more than one. Repeat as needed until left alone.

                        Just like when my wife asks how many beers I've had because I'm falling asleep in my chair, "a couple", real number is somewhere between 12 and 24.
