One day I happened to look behind the bedroom door and there were a few odds and ends leaning there.  Amongst the junk was an Egyptian? rolling block rifle I didn't recognize.  I don't know where or when I got it.  Dusty and dirty - it had been there years. I cleaned it up with Pledge and took it to a gunshop and got a tidy little sum. That's how many I have.

One shy of "enough".  And when that slot get's filled, it'll still be "one shy of enough!"

When you say "guns"....are you talking about ALL guns including the CAS stuff?   Just stuff that's functional outside of CAS (home/personal defense, hunting, etc)?   What about percussion or flint lock black powder guns, count those too?   What about antiques that are really challenging to obtain ammunition for?

All I can say is if we are attacked and they try to come ashore at Granby Place, I believe I can hold them off for a while :)

I can truthfully say that I own no guns.

 

Neither do I own any howitzers or mortars.

Just so you know, a mortar IS a gun.

From Wikipedia, but matches with what I remember from the 1863 Ordnance Department manual:

"A gun was a cannon designed to fire in a flat trajectory, a howitzer was a shorter piece designed to throw exploding shells in an arcing trajectory, and a mortar was a very short piece for firing at elevations of more than 45°."

 

That's my story and I'm sticking to it. ;)

Quite correct, but a gun is also defined as a weapon with a smooth barrel, which a mortar has.

Not enough of any of those categories except safe queens.

 

 I don’t have any safe queens.

Does that apply to the "tube" on an M1An tank? How about the 16in. naval rifles on the Iowa-class BB's?

That's what sank the canoe that had my guns on it. Riles me up to this very day.

Three that have never had more than a box run through them. I still like them though, and really do need to make an effort to work them into the rotation.

I've got one of those. 

I was given (free) 2 holsters, one belt and one shoulder holster. The shoulder holster is a S&W. A little research and it's for a 8 3/8" model 29. That free holster cost me a bit of $$$.
