Been there for a long time. Several of mine will likely never fire another shot.

Same here. I was speaking with my 21 year old son the other day and he said he’ll probably never have to buy a gun. Between all the ones I have, the ones I’ve bought him, and the ones he’ll inherit from his grandfathers, he’s set.

I don’t want to put a number on here, but we have a bunch and only shoot 5-6 a year.

You see what you have and then say to yourself, I'm good.

Yeah.... and it passes.

There are so many different options, it's damn near impossible to just "be done".
You can have plenty of handguns, and get bitten by the AR bug. You can have a lot of ARs, and then suddenly there's something like the bolt-action uppers that BCA has, that make you consider adding one.

There can be a wave of surplus guns that hit the market, where you almost have to grab one

I recall seeing the run on Beretta 81's in .32acp a couple years ago. One day, they showed up places like J&G Sales, AIM Surplus, Classic, etc. $199 in G-VG condition. I remember thinking oh, those look interesting, and I do have a couple .32s so it would share ammo, let me check prices to see if it was a good deal.
There were several on Gunbroker, with bids already around $700. Ok I ordered one that minute.
I then went to ammoseek and priced .32 acp, there were some decent deals listed. And I ended up buying as much as I could afford from the 8th-best listing that day... because the first 7 had sold out. One of them sold out while I was trying to add to cart
Obviously, there was a HUGE run on those Berettas happening, and people were grabbing what they could get.

Long story short, you never have enough guns, until you have all the guns.

I could honestly do just find with 4 guns. A centerfire deer rifle, a 12ga shotgun, a .22, and a 9mm pistol. That'd be plenty enough for me.

Now, does that scratch the itch I have for a sako trg? No, of course not.

Gaucho will run an alter up to 56k posts just to pull our leg.

When I need to buy a new gun safe!

Agreed. I wouldn't even be daydreaming about an AI AXSR if practical was the only thing that mattered
