    No. If the cops need only one vehicle to haul away your stash, you need more stuff.

      I actually became one of those guys at one point when I had 3 Ruger MKII, because I wanted to pass it on to each of my kids when they got older and didn't want them fighting over different models. But lately, I'm leaning towards getting rid of redundancies. It's probably not a big deal for my kids to get different models.
      I resemble that

          Kind of that point too of not wanting to buy any more guns. There are several reasons that the desire to buy more guns has set in with me. My safe is full. Money is limited. I don't want to burden my wife and kids with what to do with them when I'm gone - what I already have will be a lot for them to deal with. Lastly, living in California and seeing what a lot of the rest of the country can buy is a like going to a steak house but only being able to order a salad.

            I start to think that, luckily new guns keep being released. Still need a CZ TS2O.

              You just need to open your heart to used consignment guns. There are so many interesting (off list) guns available on the consignment shelves.

                  There was a number of firearms I bought when I left California,
                  Some just a big middle finger to California..

                    Im off the same mindset. I have enough; I want some just for what they are, not because I need them.

I feel like I'm at the point where I have enough for my needs and wants for the foreseeable future. Thinking in terms of, I don't want to have to buy more than one large safe, and I want to be proficient with the ones I have, and I feel having more guns than you realistically have time to train with is counter-productive, even though I do have guns I've had for years and haven't shot yet. The last few times I've gone to Scheels and visited the gun section, I haven't had the desire to see what's in the cases. I don't know, maybe it's a phase, and after I finish the builds I'm currently working on I'll get an itch to buy more, but right now, I just feel flush.

                      Anybody else get to this point and stick to it?

                      a) I'll echo that you can literally truly NEVER have enough.

                      b) But that said....it's not that I "have enough guns / ammo"; it's more of a "I don't have enough house / storage for the guns I've got."

                      So....yeah......

                      I literally can't buy anymore guns until / unless I get more / bigger storage, whatever that might look like.

                        Why would someone ever need more than one gun?

                            Why even one?

                            Guns are gross & they kill people and puppies.

                            And kittens.

                            YUCK!

                              I think I have enough, but it is the revolvers that always trap me because eventually I want a 6 in and a 3 in not just a 4 etc.

Why have 4 crappy examples when I can afford one of the best. But then I can refocus on stuff like night vision, amor etc. I?m not done buying, just done buying redundancies.
                                Update: I bought a redundant gun less than 21 days after my original post. Picked up a 365 even though I already have a 43 and a j frame.
