Come on, the honest answer for most here is "I don't know."
How many guns do you own?
- Thread starter 1Shelby4guns
- Start date
Simple answer: One more than my wife wants me to have, one fewer than I want.
Now the truth; all that I want and none that I don't. And I don't want any more.

I thought they were already saying that about me.
I have a close friend with an FFL license a couple years ago he got audited, and the lady doing the audit asked him specifically about me by name

That’s a likin’ to askin’ a feller how many cows he has.
My father told me to never
ask about other folk’s assets.
As my grandfather once told me,
son a million dollars don’t go as
far as it used to

I find myself wondering how many people are like me in that their answer to this question is, literally, “I don’t know.”
Some of the guns around here are unquestionably “mine.” They are the guns I take to pistol matches, grab when a raccoon decides to invade my wife’s bird feeders, or are part of my “collection.” But I have three grown kids and a couple of kids-in-law who all shoot at my place on occasion, and a few of their guns seem to have taken up residence. Others that *were* mine have been “borrowed” on a long-term (and probably permanent) basis. And I can only assume the shotgun that the ex-boyfriend of one of my daughters abandoned here a decade or so ago could legally belong to me now. But I’m no lawyer.

My rant in post 122 still goes. You people are ridiculous thinking that anyone is following you on this Forum. On normal social media, maybe. On here it's aliases and, at best, or worst, city of residence. Ain't nobody tracking you down to steal your guns, bash your head, blow up your house, NONE! Finding folks on the Internet is easy. Finding Paladin, Frailer, Hairtrigger, etc., AIN'T EASY!!!! 
Besides, if they're properly secured stealing your guns is going to be hard. Alarms, safes, dogs, etc.
Because guns freak some people out so they want to know if I'm carrying because I do not hide this hobby from anyone.
That is totally correct! Except for a newbie or two who comes on here with "I bought my first revolver" or some such most of us do not know the answer off the top of our heads. My number used to be 100. Now it's less. How much less? I don't know.

True story bro, you would lose that bet. I own four.
This leads me to another question, If "Non Gun People" asking you this question pisses you off why do keep putting yourself in a position that almost guarantees they're going to ask?
It's like the old joke "Dr. it hurts when I do this." and the Doctor replies "So don't do that."

Okay, I lose. You, too.

It's never strangers. It's always people who know me and my hobby and my politics. It's just a rude question. I always give the same answer.
DID THE SUN COME UP TODAY??!!??!!
Let's just say.....
I'm hovering around 20. Revolvers, semi auto pistols, pistol carbines, bolt rifles, lever rifles, pump and semi shotguns, semi-auto rifles/carbines. I like to have at least one of each.
I have a moratorium on spending, and it looks like it's going to stay that way for a while.

Not a good question to ask on a public forum that may be monitored by entities that do not like what we have and do.
