How many *MORE* guns do you still want to buy before you are finished?

[Microlon]

Before I answer, tell me... how do I know when I'm finished?

 

[PTK]

I buy and sell. I'd be shocked if I don't buy more than 150 firearms further in my life (and subsequently sell most)

 

[CajunBass]

I think "all of them" is a nice round number.

Seriously, I could say I "need" a good deer rifle, but I really don't hunt deer all that often anymore. I could really just keep using the shotgun I've always used for deer hunting, or I could press an SKS or a Mosin into duty once in a while.

How many will I buy? I have no idea really. I don't have a list.

 

[doc2rn]

I just want 3
-EMP 9mm
-Ruger 77 MKII all weather in 30-06
-AA 12g
these three would round out my collection and allow me to utilize what I have for what I need.

Before I answer, tell me... how do I know when I'm finished?

Easy. When you get the transferrable BAR.

 

[Joe Demko]

I don't shoot most of what I have now. Nothing out there does anything I need done that something I already own can't do.

 

[MJZZZ]

Just one more......honestly.

 

[MGshaggy]

Just one more......honestly.

Same here; just one more.




(Repeat as necessary.)

 

[Joe Cool]

Well at one gun a month I suppose it's a lot and I hopefully have a lot more months to live - take that you anti-gunners in NJ limiting my rights

Truthfully though it's hard to say as I have yet to buy a revolver, but having tried a nice S&W 357 I know I want one someday. And then once you have one, well you know what happens... Then there's a few shotguns more once I start hunting and skeet shooting with my son. So maybe only 4 or 5, but who knows, really!

 

[RoadkingLarry]

You need one more option on the poll

- All of them or maybe One of each.

 

[Deanimator]

"Finished"? As the Irish stand up comic said when asked if he'd had enough to drink, "I don't understand the question."

I'll never make enough money in my life to buy 1/100th of the guns I'd LIKE to have.

 

[Coyote3855]

Can't say when I'll be finished, but I'd like my next gun to be a S&W .22 Kit Gun.

 

[Noxx]

All of them.

 

[Old Grump]

More guns, who me?

Thought I only needed 2, then 3 then 6 and I'd have to consult my inventory list to tell you what I have now but I need 6 more and want more but I can't store all I have so maybe I need a bigger house with a couple of dedicated gun rooms, somebody to reload and clean guns for me and somebody to put up targets for me.

Well a bigger house with a dedicated gun room and 6, 8.....a few more guns.

 

[3KillerBs]

I've only got one and I can identify somewhere between 8 and 15 specific guns or specific types of gun (with exact model undetermined), that I'd like to have for various purposes (including one that is essentially useless but which I'd like to have just because).

The one that I have is my .22 plinking pistol, a Ruger Mark III Hunter.

The others, in no particular order, are:
A centerfire range pistol, I want a Taurus PT99
A .22 rifle
A centerfire rifle, possibly an AR-15
A 20 gauge shotgun
A primary carry gun -- to be a Taurus 85 revolver
One of those beautiful, little, small caliber "lady's guns" of a size that would fit in the tiniest evening bag just because I want one.
A single-action .22 revolver because I believe that's the best gun to teach children and newbies the fundamentals, probably a Bearcat because I have two young sons who will grow into it.
Some kind of handgun chambered in .45 in case I ever need to make larger holes for whatever reason.
A blackpowder pistol for Civil War reenacting?
2-3 extras of my favorite types in case one is in need of repair or to have on hand when taking people who don't have guns shooting.

 

[scrat]

i can think of at least 8 more. but then i need to get a new safe first

 

[jpsimms]

The list right now is like 16, but I would like to be able to arm a small nation, so as many as I can afford

 

[joop]

With all the Mexican drug cartels pushing up from the south, you never know when you'll need to arm your neighborhood.

A little more seriously, though, I'm very big on historical guns and gun technology in general. To steal a jingle, "once you pop you just can't stop."

 

[arflattop]

I always think I'm just a few shy of what I "have" to have, then the manufacturers come out with something new and "bam", I'm off and running again..........i.e., the collection will never be finished.

 

[rantingredneck]

All of them .

I thought once I got my AR finished I'd slow down for a bit. But now that I've got my upper purchase planned for this weekend I'm alreadyt thinking ahead to what's next.

The good news is that I don't yet have anything picked out.

 

[XD_fan]

I came up with a list of about 50 or so that I want now. Can't imagine how many I will really end up with.

 

[learn2shoot]

I only need one more, but everytime I buy one the answer stays the same.


Honestly- if I won the lottery - I would be to guns what Jay Leno is to cars/motorcycles

 

[Thernlund]

I voted the max, but truth be told, I'm unlikely to be "finished". I didn't exactly start out with a target number.


-T.

 

[sqlbullet]

I recently heard an excellent law for determining how many guns you need. Here are the steps to perform the calculation for yourself.

1. Count your guns. Record the count:
2. Add one to the recorded value.
3. Purchase guns to make inventory match new value.
4. Repeat.

 

[DoubleTapDrew]

What is this "finished" concept you speak of? Every time I get a gun I think of half a dozen more that I want.
I think a collection like Bruce Stern had would be something to shoot for, although I doubt he was "finished", and I don't think I would be either
