You forget how many .30-06's you have.

or

You "find" a 9mm pistol you forgot you had (Kel-Tec P-11).

List some of yours.

Edit: I meant a situation where you thought you had too many guns. Yes, this question is in jest.

People ask how many guns I have and I tell them I don't really know.

When they ask that I say more than one and less than one hundred. Hell it's true.

No thing as to many guns, to much ammo or to many mags.

My friends call me Burt Gummer.

That about answers it. (though I have far fewer guns than Burt, I have far more than most of my friends)

When you find a good deal on a gun, And you have to take a while to think about weather or not you already have that model.

When your planning a move, And your collection is going to be its own trip in the uhaul.

You might have too many when...........you can't remember how many boating accidents you have had.

When you move, you move your bed only to find a cloth case containing a Bushmaster XM-15E2 you haven't seen in 3 years and totally forgot you had.

I can never remember off the top of my head. I don't have a lot, but I have to go through them all mentally and count them on my fingers. By most people's idea of how many guns a person should own, I'm pretty much Reed Knight.

You know you have too many guns when it takes you longer than 5 minutes to get them ALL to your vehicle when TSHTF.

Posted: 8/1/2009 6:25:05 AM EDT

[#19]

When you had to search high and low for a inventory program for the laptop to keep track.

You know what's worse? Buying magazines because you THINK you might have a gun that fits them. (Or will soon)

Shit, how about 45 minutes?

Also, I guess you have too many when 2/3s of them have not been out of the safe in over a year.

You find that Vz 24, and Enfield mk 4 in the back of the vault you have forgotten to take out and shoot for the first time.

You could just send me that P11, a Kel-Tec 9mm is on my short list.

WHen you bring 12 weapons to the range, people gasp and say "Wow, thats a lot of guns" and you say "That's half of one safe"

You don't have enough drivers for the vehicles to carry your guns in SHTF situations.

Sadly, the boating accidents keep this from happening to me.

I was trying to remember where I got all of my Garands the other day ... and couldn't. I remember buying the one, and picking it up from the FFL, but for the life of me I can't remeber where I got it from. Guess I'll have to dig back through my old e-mails.

With a dial combination lock so EMP will not keep me from all my weapons

when someone asks if you would want to buy some extra rifle magazines, and you say yes before they even tell you what they are.

Just because you know you either have something that they fit or you will be buying one soon.

When you convert a shed to house your guns then realize that you are better off living in the shed so that you can have more room to keep your guns in the house.

Not a true story, but I can dream!

Was moving furniture, opened wife's blanket chest and there was a Marlin Papoose .22 in it's case that I forfotten about. Think it had been in there 5 years.

Decided better start an EXCEL spreadsheet, and then found a LLAMA .380, and S&W 9mm I had forgotten about in one of the safes.

Then decided I better hide the spreadsheet so Household 6 doesn't see it.
