One gun is like having one testicle.

Were I ever down to one gun, I'd consider myself out if guns.

Is that some sort of SAFE act bullshit?

There's only one with me now, my second is still waiting to be shipped from Buds

I've owned more before but had to sell some.
I'll get the collection going one day.

Beware the man that owns only one gun, he knows how to use it.

My Mom owned one for a while. A .357mag. Now she has two. Added a lcp for carry. She's not a gun person. They are simply personal defense tools.

I own one gun. A J frame that I keep unloaded in a biometric safe in my dresser with ammunition stored in a coffee can in the pantry.

Actually, I don't own any.

I've had some financial drawbacks the last couple of years. Down to one Colt Lightweight Commander.
Sure would like to add an AR to the goodie box.

Dogs are notorious for leaving their guns in ruff shape.

Two is one and one is none. If you own one gun then you own none guns.

Ha! The RO at the gun range today...one gun guy - High Point .45! Yup, all he needs is his 1 gun.

don't quite know if true. I used to be friends with a guy that I invited to dove hunt. Asked if he had a shotgun. "yes". What is it. "a single shot .410". Okay, I'll let you borrow one of mine. "what is it?" a semi auto 12ga. "that's crazy, that will just blow the birds apart".

After a slight bit more discussion, I realized he was ignorant.. ignorant is lack of knowledge, stupid if having the answer handed to you and refusing it.

but now I own no guns because they are icky.

For about 15 years my only gun was a Mossberg 590. Bought it right after the LA riots stepped off.

I got up to about 10 guns in the years after that.

Then the boat sank.

Now I haz nones.

I just have a little old single action .22lr revolver since the boat sank.

Nobody's skeered o'that!

Not likely. I know a couple of people that only have one gun. Pretty sure none of them have taken them out of their closets in years.

Damn, you too? I should have maintained that boat better.

All jokes aside, my goal right now is to reduce the collection to only about five or six practical guns.
12 gauge shotgun
2x 5.56 AR15s
2x 9mm handguns
something in 308 (probably PAP M77)

Anymore things are getting too expensive and unpredictable for several different calibers.
I plan to simplify all aspects of my lifestyle over the next few years, though.

The last time I owned one gun, I was six years old

I actually don't own a firearm. I will again at some point, but current life circumstances have not allowed for it...

No offense to you for repeating that, but in my experience the man who only owns one gun these days has no interest in firearms, has no idea what he has, and is marginal at best in it's operation.

I think this "one gun man" thing was popularized during the great depression when any man was fortunate to have a solid firearm at all and he damn-well better have known how to use it.

I could be wrong about this and am open to any other theories on where the "one gun man" warning came from.

My great great uncle on mother's side only owned 1, an 1884 Trapdoor. I own it now.

My great grandfather on my father's side only owned 1. It was an Acme Belgian side by side. Very utilitarian. It's mine now too.

Two is one. One is none. Gun safes that is.

It is just a saying that fit the discussion at hand, but to the point that a man with one gun has been forced to use it for everything. I have known plenty of old timers who could shoot quarters out of the air with a single shot .22, they shot the 1 gun everyday and could do what ever they need to with it.
