Two guns one purpose

[nwslopoke]

I have a few guns that really fill one purpose. Example CZ P01 & P07 (9mm). Sig P229 & SP2022(40). Two ARs as well I'm in the mood, got the itch, how ever you explain it for another gun but it's hard to justify.

I've heard some people have just one gun but I've never actually seen it. I feel somewhat gluttonous having more guns than I can carry, but I'm hoping to get over that.

GIVE IT UP, . . . You'll never get over it. . . . You'll always need one more gun than you currently have!!!!!

There's a rifle I'm looking at that's about $700 now. I don't need to add yet another caliber but i am concerned about the coming months.

It is? How about if one is a gun enthusiast/collector. I have five lever action rifles and three are in 30-30 Winchester - and that's just lever action. Some of us have been around guns a little longer than others and 'carry' is not the primary reason for ownership.

For me, guns are like a set of golf clubs. I may have 3 "deer rifles", but they all fit a different niche. Is there some overlap, yes. But why relegate yourself to playing with a 7 iron when you can use something better suited for a long fairway on a par 5 or a chip shot just off the green?

Exactly Buttman, I've never seen a golfer with only one club.

I have been down to no guns and as high as forty something. As for explaining a purpose for them, well, who cares? I want them just because I can. A "brace" of pistols is better than having to stop and reload, so there. I don't hunt anymore but I want to be able to exercise that option. So what if I have a rifle capable of stopping a truck or a helicopter, you never know when one is going to run amok.

Btw what is a "golf" and why do you have to club them? Wouldn't shooting them be more humane?

Exactly! As far as lever rifles, I've "givin away" eight .30-30's all winchesters and a beautiful JM stainless .45-70 to kids and Grandkids.
Not to mention many bolt action hunting caliber rifles given to young kids that I knew the folks of that were just entering the world of hunting and needing a rifle.

All of them (too many to remember) were just bought cause I told myself I liked it.

Excuses, we don't need no stinking excuses

Yep - pretty much it! I never understood the statement 'Well, I only own one (of anything) because I can't (shoot, use etc) more than one at a time'

Everyone needs two guns.. New York reload. duh

Two is one and one is none. Redundancy is critical for defensive weapons.

Buddy bought an xdm full size .45. Seems to like it and says it's for self defense at home but doesn't keep it loaded and has no interest in buying more.


I like special purpose guns just for one thing (hunting rifle for example) but I've already told the wife I'll never stop buying guns so ill have guns just to have them at some point again.

Its a game where you use a f***ed up stick to whack a ball into a gopher hole.

I have given up on the reasons I need a new gun so I use the excuse that in the case of a "ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE" I may need extra guns in case family members can make it to my house but had to leave too quickly to grab their stuff. (It could happen)

And of course I need to shoot them from time to time to make sure they are in good working order I don't want to issue a bad firearm to family in the middle of a "ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE".

Oh and if nothing happens remember it better to be prepared and not need them, than to need them and not have them!

This is my story and I am sticking to it and I am just happy I have a large family!

Beware the old man that owns but one gun. He is sure to know well how to employ it.

Why in the world would you feel the need to rationalize, to YOURSELF, the desire to own more guns?!?
Do you have a job? If you can afford a gun, get one! It's not like guns are some scarce commodity and you'd be depriving some poor soul from having one.

Yea and now that I have 'discovered' the Mossberg MMR I MAY be an AR owner (again) - The Mossberg is the only AR that 'floats my boat' - good reviews and incredible accuracy. AND my B-day is coming up soon and I typically buy myself a gun every year as a present to myself!

Unless I find an 80's era Colt A2 HBAR !

Or as my uncle used to call it---cow pasture pool...

 

[salmonriverjohn]

Aw heck, if I had a dollar for every rifle and pistol I've ever owned, well I'd probably buy another one or two.
Yep I've got it bad.
