So, how many guns do YOU have? A rhetorical Thanksgiving question.

[LeeTheToolGuy]

Turkey day, best wishes to all for a great day with family, friends, food... And to those serving and those home, bless you all for allowing me and mine to be able to enjoy this day. 

Now, for the topic at hand, how many? My answer, one more than I thought I had. I frequently tell people if you can count them in your head then the answer is really "not enough". I understand some people (like my daughter) are just starting and have 4 or 5. I also know there are people who track every gun, serial number, magazine, etc. I'm not one of those either. 

Today, my daughter is hosting her first Thanksgiving, in her new house. Her best friend is in town for the weekend, brought her boyfriend. While the ladies cooked, he and I went out to the backyard range (GOD I love living in Free-Merica). Went down to the basement, started moving a gun case, realized it felt heavy. Opened it to see why, inside was a gun I had COMPLETELY forgotten I owned. Holy ####! 

So how many do I own? One more than I thought, one fewer than I need Happy Thanksgiving to me! 

So Happy Thanksgiving all, may your days be blessed and full of joy and love.

More than I care to tell my wife about, although she knows as she has access to the storage.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Rather small collection compared to most. 2 handfuls of handguns from 357mag to 22lr. Couple 22lr rifles and a 12 gauge. I’m content with my pile. 

[Snaveba]

Less than a dozen pistols, more than a dozen rifles. 

[Snaveba]

Plus a couple shotguns

[btq96r]

Three pistols in different calibers,  pocket .380, .40, & 9mm in standard size; one shotgun; one fun gun .22LR rifle; and two ARs, one 16" & one 10.5" SBR.

I’d have to devise a strategy on how best to locate, log, and  count them. So far I haven’t felt the urge.

[pop pop]

Not as many as I want! 

[Scotty]

Remember Covid, not enough for what they’ve got cooking up next. Usually gets a chuckle. 

[FUJIMO]

As many as big brother shows that I own

[Pain103]

I was always told asking a man how many guns he owns is the same as asking a woman how much she weighs.

Somewhere I read there's an aboriginal tribe in South America that counts "One, two, many..." I have more than two

And who's asking

[res308]

I have almost as many as I need. Almost. 

[monkeylizard]

Man, You guys are lucky. I lost all mine when the dog flipped the boat over.

[papa61]

I started a spreadsheet, made a few trades and,,,

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

I use the Ork counting system: 

"One"

"Two"

"Many"

"LOTS"

I also have more than two

[monkeylizard]

I can't count that way. "one" "two" "many" sounds like "one too many" and we know that's not true.

[Will Carry]

I don't own any guns, but I am thinking about buying one.
