How Many Firearms is Too Many?

[Grant H.]

Too many?

N+2 where N is the current number you have.

The appropriate number?

N+1 where N is the current number you have.



As for a real answer to your question.

Overall, for me personally, there really isn't an "appropriate" number. I've gone through a lot of different "phases" where I have focused on different things. Hunting, long range rifle, tactical rifle, IDPA/IPSC, etc. On and on and on...

Between the fun/challenging aspects of it all, the obvious practical benefits (self defense, food procurement), and all the rest of it, the collection has grown over the years. I've got stuff that I haven't shot in years, hell, I actually have some stuff that I have never shot.

There are a few that I have sold in the past, and out of them, I regret selling all but 2 of them. So, now they just get kept and stored...
