How many guns does it take to be considering having “too much”

How many guns is considered to be too much


  • Total voters
    223
  • Poll closed .
There was an article about someone getting caught doing something, and they found 500 rounds, talking like it was some crazy-prepper-level arsenal. Dude, no, that’s “I need to order more soon” levels.
I start worry at that point
 
I recently DROS’d six guns.

When I went in for the paperwork, my FFL asked me “What do you have this time, JF64K?”

I couldn’t remember all that I had ordered, haha!!

For a *split* second, I thought “Man, does this mean I’ve got too many?” before my FFL said “Can’t remember them all? That’s awesome. I hope to be like you someday!” Haha!!

tl;dr There’s no such thing as too much.
 
Depends on the perspective of the person asking…California Democrats will say none are to many 🤣
 
Forget the number of guns....Is it a problem that Im rethinking a walk in closet as the new "safe" rather than the pandoras box of just a bigger safe?

You experience true firearms freedom when you ditch the safe(s) for a safe room, haha!!

It’s such a kick to walk in and see your collection on display and everything within easy reach.

Thats not enough of any one caliber. Then there is multiple calibers. .380, 9mm, 38 special, 357, .45, .22, .223, 6mm, .308, 30-06, 12 ga. and I am sure alot of people of more calibers. It not actually a lot, but that is going to scare some people.
 
How many watches are too many? What can I afford. I have a watch. It tells time. it two then too many? Although that one overthere is pretty nice.
 
Let "Y" = The number of guns that are "Too Many"

Let "X" = The number of guns presently owned

Then: Y = X + 5
