How many firearms is the right number for YOU?

[Fjold]

Honestly, I could probably get by with 7-8 handguns and probably 13-14 rifles and 3-4 shotguns.

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.

Always 1 or 2 more than I currently have. I only have 6 so maybe that will stop happening after a few more.

[Black Majik]

1 million should do it, but that's cuttin' it kinda close.

enough to justify building a gun room (in the future when i have my own place)

I always love the posts where you need to give your "top 3,4,5 choices". I want to do something slightly different in this thread. What is the rightnumber of firearms for you? I certainly enjoy big collections that some of my friends have and enjoy when I get to play with them at the range. Having said that, I do have some I have bought over the years that I really don't shoot anymore and some I regret getting and others I don't.

So, I'm not asking how many you have per se, but what do you think is the perfect number for you? I need to think before I can answer this myself.

PErfect? Since I don't really have space limitations, but do have budget limitatinos I have no idea what the perfect # is. I think I could be happy and content with about a dozen if I had to put a limit on things

I always seem to need at least one more.......

[bomb_on_bus]

Well I would keep everything I got. The shotty, M1 Garand, POF5.56, POF.308,if CA "ever" lifts the BMG ban an M82A1orM107 for me. for the wife the good ol 5.7 pistol and PS90. And as much ammo as my truck can carry!

No idea what the right # is. All I know is that I need more!

[Eroland7]

1,435

[DRM6000]

it's an impossible question for me to answer. i always have more than i need and less than i want.

[sorensen440]

I dont see an upper limit in my future

If I see one I like I buy it

[Farva]

I could live with one rifle, shotgun, and pistol. But Id be severly depressed.

How many can your safes hold? If you can answer that without thinking, you need a few more safes!

[Rekrab]

I break it down by type...

I want one poly handgun
I want one metal handgun
I want one DA revolver
I want one SA revolver
I want one modern bolt action rifle
I want one C&R bolt action rifle
I want one modern self loading rifle
I want one C&R self loading rifle

So far I've got my poly and metal handguns... 2 down 6 to go!
