How many firearms is the right number for YOU?

[Federalist]

Shortly after I think I have all the guns I need, I find that I absolutely need at least one more.

In March, I thought I had all the guns I needed. Today, I need six more.

As always, that doesn't include the ones needed to replace what I recently lost in a tragic boating accident. (I have to learn to stay away from those damn boats.)

30 would probably do it.

[MiguelS]

As many as I can possibly buy before I am homeless or dead..

I might be homeless, but at least I will be well armed...

You can throw you pisto at them...

Homeless with no ammo.


Well, I just bought my first in June and now I have 3. Hmmm..I need at least two more pistols.

I can't put a limit on how many. There is just so much out there that anyone would want. Hell, you can start with 1911s, then glocks, you gotta have a cz75, revolvers, shotguns, ARs, AKs, rifles, c&r stuff. The list just keeps on going. You can have like 15 mosins and still want more!!

All I 'need' is one rifle or one handgun. I can pretty much take care of whatever I need to with either one, both have their +/-.

I think for me, that depends on how much $ I have .

This is my answer too. If I were rich I would have my walls covered with them.

I like it. I wasn't even thinking of it at the time.

Glad someone caught it.

[savasyn]

How many is right for me?
Hmmm, one miiiillion

[Ruiner]

At least the number required to arm everyone in my household in the event of you know what hitting the fan. A couple extras would be nice.

[Sunwolf]

One of every .308 rifle ever made.

[3GunFunShooter]

I have as many guns as I need, but not as many as I want.

[kazman]

Since I 'only' have three handguns, an AR and a shotgun, about 12 sounds right. But I'm sure when I'm at 12 about 24 would seem right, and so on

I was just contemplating this idea the other day, and I came to the conclusion that I could get by with only four guns - a pistol, a precision rifle, an AR-15, and a shotgun. I think this is a pretty good variety of guns and could keep me occupied for the rest of my life. Of course, I don't plan on restricting myself to only these four guns, but I could get by with only these four if I had to.

I've been thinking the same exact thing lately, ever since I sold my SKS I told myself that with finances and space factored that I should streamline that this was my exact conclusion.
.308, 5.56, .40, 12gauge

I day dream of having a big safe stock full of choice rifles, but this is what I could live with.

The right number is one more than I have right now. The same holds for mags and ammo. 1 more Mag and 1K more in ammo than I have right now.
