Categorizing Guns

[Howard1955]

I'm thinking about the various categories I can group firearms into - maybe for storage, or maybe just to relieve today's boredom.


But I might store the things according to their most common uses, or intended purpose. Might be helpful for my heirs to have things organized that way.

None of the firearms pictured here are mine. The pictures all came from Mr. Google.





(1) Toys

Dart guns
Squirt guns
Paintball guns








***


(2) Decor/Wall Hangers

Movie props
Replicas
Miniatures




***


(3) Collector/Historic

Too old to use, but too nice to lose.




***


(4) Plinking/Target

All kinds.




***


(5) Hunting

For food and for sport.




***


(6) Home Defense

Because when seconds count, the police are only minutes away.




***


(7) Carry for Community & Self Defense

Because I'm not strong enough to carry a whole cop, and not rich enough to hire bodyguards.





***


(8) Battle

Because history keeps repeating, I want the most effective weapons I can get.





***


(9) Experimental

Because experimenting and inventing is fun.

What, no fuzzy dice?

my grandson doesn't need much help in visualizing an object as a potential "gun." To wit:

What, no fuzzy dice?

I looked for pictures of rifles with fuzzy dice on them, but only came up with leg warmers and one sad, red tassel.

Opens up another category though: Decorated vs. Undecorated Guns.

Does it hurt less if you get shot by a gay gun?

 

[Howard1955]

I think everyone needs a gun safe that's dedicated to these little guys.

If you get Red Flagged and Swatted, just open up the safe and let the confiscators confiscate.

I actually have the bottom gnome out in the front flower bed...

More.
The time spent sitting in the shower crying afterwards is lost productivity.

The Mind of Howard can be pretty strange territory sometimes. Today I'm bored silly, so it's good to find something entertaining. I might need to get a little army of those garden gnomes.

There's California guns and then there's guns.
Good talk.

Now that's funny right there, I don't care who you are!

Impressive.

But that scoped caulking gun with a pistol grip and adjustable stock might get you into trouble with the politicians.

 

[Howard1955]

I've been giving this a bit of serious thought, and have arrived at the following:




1. Pleasure Guns

A. Toys

B. Decor

C. Collectibles

D. Replicas



2. Working Guns

A. Hunting

B. Animal Control

C. Home Defense

D. Personal Defense/Carry

E. Competition

F. Instruction

G. Target Practice



3. Fighting Guns

A. Societal Collapse

B. Open Warfare (Invasion)

C. Community Defense

D. Revolution/Resistance (Guerilla Warfare)




The fighting guns could be supplemented by any other functioning firearm. But those designated as "fighting guns" should probably be stored separately. Then if confiscators show up, they'll get the first two categories - but not the third.

Of course, with the rise in boating accidents, there may not be any "fighting guns" left for the confiscators to find.
