You may have too may weapons when your wife sits on the toilet, turns on the exhaust fan and a Colt 1911 nearly falls on her head,

When she asks ANGRILY, "Exactly HOW MANY GUNS DO YOU HAVE, ANYWAY?"

DO NOT answer excitedly, "ONE MORE THAN I THOUGHT, BECAUSE I FORGOT ABOUT THE "POOPER SHOOTER!" DAMHIKT!!!!

I think you can never have too many but you can have them too scattered around. Kids might not be a problem if you have none and none visit but if you scatter guns everywhere as a defencive measure it can be a double edged sword. You have access to quick defence but the assailant may stumble upon more offence provided by you.

The pooper shooter story is funny
 
We have several, being a Texas country boy we learned to shoot before we could walk. I don't have an inventory but 3 gun cabinets are full and there are some not in the cabinets.
 
I have 7, but only wear one at a time. The rest are stored securely. I have taken to carrying around home because everyday there is a story about a home invasion in the media. I am too old and smart to be caught at a disadvantage by the animals in our society.
 
Better to have one too many when you don't need em, then one too few when you do.

I carry more and more each day, simply because the world continues to get worse and worse.
Did you see the story about the guy who strapped the bomb to the girl's neck or the guy who severed the head of his 7 year old disabled son, because he was tired of taking care of him. Oh, the humanity.

Amen Brother.
 
I believe it's been posted before but it's too god not to post again -

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]A Texas Highway Patrol pulled over a pick-up truck owner for a faulty taillight.
When the Trooper approached the driver, the man behind the wheel handed the Trooper his driver's license,
insurance card and a concealed weapon carry permit.

The Trooper took all the documents, looked them over and said. "Mr..
Shepherd, I see you have a CCP. Do you have any weapons with you?"

The driver replied, " Yes sir, I have a 357 handgun in a hip holster, a
.45 in the glove box and a .22 derringer in my boot."

The Trooper looked at the driver and asked, "Anything else?"

"Yes sir, I have a Mossberg 500 12 gauge and an AR-15 behind the seat."

The Trooper asked if the man was driving to or from a shooting range
and the man said he wasn't, so the Trooper bent over and looked into the
driver's face and said "Mr. Shepherd, you're carrying quite a few guns.

May I ask what you are afraid of?

Mr. Shepherd locked eyes with the Trooper and calmly answered,

"Not a D*** thing!" [/FONT]

Sad isn't it? Is it the media that bombards us with this stuff, or is mankind just becoming less decent and more degenerate?
 
I don't carry a gun to scare people. I carry a gun because sometimes this world can be a scary place.

I don't carry a gun because I'm paranoid. I carry a gun because there are real threats in the world.

I don't carry a gun because I'm evil. I carry a gun because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the world.

I don't carry a gun because I hate the government. I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of government.

I don't carry a gun because I'm angry. I carry a gun so that I don't have to spend the rest of my life hating myself for failing to be prepared.

I don't carry a gun because my sex organs are too small. I carry a gun because I want to continue to use those sex organs for the purpose for which they were intended for a good long time to come.

I don't carry a gun because I want to shoot someone. I carry a gun because I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed, and not on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon.

I don't carry a gun because I'm a cowboy. I carry a gun because, when I die and go to heaven, I want to be a cowboy.

I don't carry a gun to make me feel like a man. I carry a gun because men know how to take care of themselves and the ones they love.

I don't carry a gun because I feel inadequate. I carry a gun because unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am inadequate.

I don't carry a gun because I love it. I carry a gun because I love life and the people who make it meaningful to me.
 
"How many weapons are too many?"

Where I live, that would definitely qualify as a dumb question. It would surely qualify you the the blank "deer in the headlights" stare from some of the goodoleboys around here.
 
I have 4 and it's one more than I need to cover any use I might have for one. Bows on the other hand! Well lets just say I have more bows than guns and ammo combined.

You left out:

I guess it depends on whether you have a bombed strapped to your neck or not? I'm voting.....the latter. With this caveat....I don't think man is less decent or more degenerate.....I think man is less inhibited. (unless looking down the business end of a .45)
 
Hmmm....well I don't have any right now, but that's just a personal choice. I stopped hunting in 1986 and sold my guns when I was moving in 1999. I was a better than fair shot with both hand gun and long gun and probably can still shoot well enough that a burglar wouldn't want me to be shooting at him. I'm still an Endowment Life member of the NRA.

I am in the camp of it's better to have one too many when you don't need it than one too few when you do.

I don't ask my wife how many sewing do-dads she has and she don't ask how many guns I have. Just once did I see a man who had too many. We had a man who didn't attend church and was a pretty rough fellow. Lo and behold one Sunday in he walked, nice fresh white shirt and pressed overalls. He started to sit down in the pew and his .38 fell from the inside of the bib of his overalls and hit the pew. It didn't go off, but if you never heard a pistol dropped on a church pew, I can assure you it is one of the loudest noises you will ever hear!! INMOP he had one gun too many!!

No offense, but you need some cushions for your church pews.

Guns........................

Canadians don't talk about guns because they don't have/carry/need guns.
Canadians have real beer.

With real beer & guns we would take over the world or shoot our eye out

Yes we do, I used to have 15 handguns and 4 long guns. The wife and I used to go out twice a week to shoot until my back gave out. Now I'm down to 1 handgun and I'm not about to give that up.

I am so sick of the bleeding hearts on guns in the home. Oh the kids is their answer. But growing up there were guns around, and I knew that I was not allowed to "play" with them. There was not a need to show off to friends cuz their parents had them too. My best friend in NY, his dad worked for Remington. The kids that accidently shoot each other in the home are always where the gun is hidden.

I have a shotgun right beside my dresser and my 2 kids are in my bed room constantly, and they don't even glance at it, the 2 year old knows not to touch it. (no it is not loaded, the shells are in the dresser!)
