    I can see buying multiple guns in different form factors, because they’re a tool like anything else, and you need the right size tool for the job.

    As you need proper training on each individual gun i find it hard to believe that there is any person who reasonably needs more than 5 or 6 firearms and that includes sports, hunting and self defense

      Well, rifles are rifles and pistols are pistols. The skill set downgrades pretty easy, upgrading not so much.

      After shooting my .45-70 Government, a .22 pea shooter is no big deal, going the OTHER way though…

          Nah, never shot anything more threatening than an old school metal coffee can. Just being a gun owner doesn’t make you dangerous.

          I own several hammers too, doesn’t make me a carpenter. ;)

            Oh I was just making a dumb joke about calling a 22 a pea. I’m a videographer and don’t own a camera, haha.
