Some anti gun types like to claim the "gun culture" in the US a new phenomenon, which anyone with two working neurons and basic knowledge if US history knows is horse pucky. These authors looked at historical sources to conclude guns were popular and common. Not a new paper, but one I had not seen before:
COUNTING GUNS IN EARLY AMERICA
William and Mary Law Review
VOLUME 43 No. 5,2002

Awesome find.
Cliff's Notes for you illiterate types:
There were more guns in Colonial American households THAN CHAIRS.

Due to the time it took to load one, having several quality guns was a big plus when you might be dealing with multiple enemies. If you didn't it went hand to hand, hatchet to hatchet or knife to knife rather quickly.Originally Posted by Outlander Systems

It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

Good stuff, thanks for sharing.
When you only have one shot you typically have multiple rifles at hand considering loading them was cumbersome.

I do believe this was a fairly common practice.
I remember reading that some raiders during the civil war carried as many as six revolvers and sometimes had more holsters attached to their saddles.
