Too many Guns?

I have 1 tiny safe that's like an 18 gun that's overflowing. Everything else is shoved in the corner in a closet. Had to spend 10 minutes finding the 3 rifles I wanted to take shooting tomorrow. At least my ammo is finally somewhat organized

Abolutely, and as in anything, at all times past and resent.. That bears repeating. All of the serious issues of which I have been been directly knowledgeable have involveed matters other than weapons or use of force.

I was thinking more of an editorial. However, in a legal proceeding, it is likely that trying to explain away the comment would cause even more damage than has been done.

On my rural road, half the driveways are posted like this -- and even with all the King County and Microsoft millionaires buying up all the property around here, I've not heard a whimper about this.

Nor shoud we expect to, absent an ambiguous shooting,

Sorry, but I will err on the side of having to be held accountable for my words rather than bowing to the lords of political correctness, the woke and prejudiced vocal minority.

Not creating evidence that can prove damaging has absolutely nothing to do with 'political correctness", and it never has.

The message here isto be careful about what one puts on paper or in electronic media. Once done, it cannot be undone.

One other point: people have been triped up by files that have been built up in "changes mode". What was in earlier versions can be the problem.

Too many guns? That should not be a problem, inan of itself.
 
Here's how I look at it. My firearms break down into the following groups:
1. Competition guns. I shoot on the U.S. International Muzzle-Loading Team and the North-South Skirmish Association. Dabble in ISSF pistol and NRA Bullseye on occasion, but the muzzle-loaders are the primary interest. But between the USIMLT and N-SSA, I'm shooting 10 events...four with original firearms. And with all of them, you need a backup. If you compete with an original, you need a repro gun to train with (try getting parts for a 220-year old flintlock pistol).

2. Self-defense guns. Figure on a pocket pistol for discretion, a compact gun for winter carry, a rifle or shotgun for the house.

3. Collectibles. OK, I like weird. Not to mention having finally learned the First Rule of C&R - that when they import guns, buy two...because the instant the imports dry up, the price doubles. Sell one that you bought and recoup the price on both.

They do a great pro 2A work and that's appreciated. But I find the channel unfun to watch, unlike when Barry Elliot was around.

What is a signed that you have too many guns or a addiction to buying guns?

I vote:

1: Have more guns that have not been shot then guns you actually shoot

2: Dream about Colts & Smith’s, fantasize about finding a Registered Magnum at a Pawn shop labels “Unknown revolver”

3: Have more than one full size Safe

4: Wish IV8888 would do a Berry special on the man who is an idol

What you say?

Love the episode where they were doing Big Bore revolvers. Ray the gunsmith brought out all his finest… Berry was like “These gun will physically hurt you, if you don’t know what your doing”
 
I have "enough." There's a half a dozen that have never been shot. One safe, it dictates how many. When I held an 01 FFL back in the 20th century there were more. Got rid of a quite a few. Full again. No big deal. Never spent the "rice and beans money" on any of them. Joe

The secret is to be paid to attend training and shoot their ammo. 😉

Certainly one good option. In most cases though, assuming we're talking about military and/or LE, the small arms training they receive isn't nearly sufficient for more than just a base level of competency. And, of course, that would only be an option for a small percentage of the population anyway. But, the principle, that of more money having been spent on ammo and training than on the gun, still applies.
