It Really is Possible to Have Too Many Guns

[SteyrAUG]

In addition to my collection, I have some demo guns and trainers.

So IF it should all fall down, I will have some handouts.

I guess by some schools of thought, having more than you can run away with it at full speed is too many. Of course, if you have so many that you can't keep track of them....there's probably a middle ground here. Utility and proficiency before volume is probably the best approach I think.

It's strange that a simple discussion about having too many guns to shoot them all often, or buy top quality optics for, has turned into a discussion of survival. I own a lot of stuff I cannot bounce with if SHTF or zombie hordes invade my neighborhood, like my house.

We live in uncertain times, but not every discussion needs to center around the end of the world.

I find myself looking at my collection once in a while thinking “I never shoot x, y, and z....I could sell them and not miss them” only to never attempt to sell them.

That said, during the stay home this year, I have really begun to think about this. I will be proactively trying to sell of stuff...when I can do for non-crack head prices. Use that money towards some extra T-2s and hopefully a PVS14.

I have more than a few guns, some would say too many. But my attention drifts from milsurps to cowboy guns to modern tactical stuff, so I naturally have a wide variety of guns. Selling some as interest wanes is not logical, as my interest will be rekindled as time passes. It's kind of handy to have some obscure calibers these days as stuff like 5.56 and 9mm are sold out locally. .30 carbine has been more readily available locally than the above mentioned calibers.
