I'm still very young (24) so I definately don't have enough guns to want to get rid of any, but I do appreciate the logic - even though I plan on owning more guns, I want each of them for a very specific purpose and to be unique, useful, and quality. Right now I've got a 1911 in 45ACP (nightstand gun), HK P2000 in 40S&W (CCW piece), SIG PRO SP2022 9mm (car gun), and S&W 22a in .22LR for plinking, and for long guns it's a 20" accurized AR15, Benelli Nova 12ga, and 2 .22lrs (one bolt / irons, one scope / semi). What I want to add are a good 6" .357 revolver (maybe a GP100), an AK47, an AR15 16" lightweight carbine, a good .308 bolt precision rifle (Rem 700 or Savage 10fp?), a deep-concealment handgun (Kel-Tec FP9 maybe?)... maybe a Marlin 336A in .30-30, maybe a side-by-side coach gun in 12GA...
The trend is, no duplicates, no two guns that do or are the exact same thing... I like variety, but don't want a huge accumulation of the same thing. I like having my bases covered, although in truth, I do enjoy shooting some of the same guns more than others... I spend alot of time with my AR15 and 1911, partly because of idealism and practicality (respectively, if you get what I mean), although I do try to stay sharp with all of them.
But if I ever look into the safe and see a gun I don't like shooting or see a real need for, it'll be time for it to go.
