Do I sell my guns?

[Tyler-The-Piker]

So this begs the age old question:
What is the minimum number of guns that each red-blooded American man should have?
If you're not interested in having unused guns in the safe collecting dust then what would your arsenal consist of?
1 pistol, 1 rifle, 1 shotgun? Add this, add that? Depends where you live, rural or urban? Whether you hunt or not? How many kids or just in your household? What's your threshold and why

Off the top of my head.

Must have:

(2) duplicate full sized centerfire pistols. One for training and one for EDC

(1) sub compact centerfire pistol for more discrete carry

(1) pistol or revolver in .22 lr for pinking

(1) pump shotgun with field barrel for hunting or skeet/trap and shorter barrel for possible home defense role

(1) battle AR or AK rifle (non sbr). Two is better

(1) rifle in .22 lr for plinking and or small game hunting

So minimum of 7.

Nice to have:

(1) big bore revolver in at least .357 or larger (woods gun)

(1) AR or AK SBR or pistol for a QCB or home defense role

(1) good bolt gun in .308

(1) flavor of a milsurp rifle

(1) semi auto shotgun

(1) micro compact for pocket carry

What am I missing?

If I didn't care anything about guns and just wanted the basics, I could get by with a Shield Plus for discrete carry, an M&P compact for home defense/belt carry, an AR with a couple of different uppers for SHTF, a Ruger 10-22 for stuff you do with a .22, and a Mossberg Maverick 88 12 gauge for general purpose. Wouldn't have a problem swapping the Shield Plus for a G43x and the M&P compact for a G19 or G45, but I really like the M&Ps a bit better.

2 is 1 and 1 is none, so at minimum 2 of whatever you deem necessary.

2x AR-15s in 5.56 for sake of easy ammo access - one an SBR
2x 308 rifles
2x 22lr rifles
2x compact pistols
2x full size pistols
2x shotguns

For me it's roughly the above.

Told my wife I would sell a couple before I buy a Ruger No. 2. Found a Remington bolt action .22 to sell. If I can get a hundred bucks I'll be happy. Got a inline muzzleloader too to move. Have not made it to the back row yet.

Mini 14 just for the fun factor

For years I’ve sold guns that I didn’t really use that much in order to buy others. Mostly because I needed to in order to afford the newer gun. I’ve told myself not to do it anymore. Yet, here I am. I do not need to sell them for the money to buy other guns but.. since I really don’t take them to the range, should I sell them? I recently picked up the P229 Legion and well, love it. Do I start replacing the Springfields with Sigs? I can’t be the only one battling this.

Keep the ones you have. You will find them interesting again in the future.
