I’m trying to think of the minimum guns you could justify.
- 9mm pistol
- AR15 (or AK, if that’s more reasonable where you live)
- precision rifle
- .22 rifle for cheap practice
- I guess a shotgun? For hunting or home defence that doesn’t overpenetrate?
So yeah, 4-5 if you’re really trying to cover every possible scenario? How do you get up to 7?
I don’t remember, unfortunately.
I do think that there was one compact pistol, and one full size pistol, though, so that’s one more.
Edit: I tried to see if I could find an archived version of the video. Couldn’t, but found a forum post talking about it, and the essential list is:
Carry-size pistol, full-size pistol, semi-auto rifle, large caliber bolt action, shotgun, 22 rifle, and 22 pistol
To me, it’s long gun, handgun, that’s it. Get a new one, sell an old one. Sure, some extra fun guns, but they’re not needed.
If I was a hunter, I could understand keeping a hunting rifle in addition to an AR/AK type, obviously.
So, this is supposed to be, like, an appeal to not buy too many guns, yet since it’s by a gun person, for gun people, “not too many” meant seven.
Blog post is here. But the yt video it goes to is no more.
Also, I’ve always had shit luck with 22 semi handguns. They cycle awfully. Ammo is always blamed. And maybe it’s true, but geez, if it needs to have one specific brand of 22 to function right, when even finding 22 at all is tough, it ain’t getting used very often. 22 revolvers are cool, though.
