Gun Control & RKBA
Showing Original Post only (View all)Why would anyone need several handguns? [View all]
I observed one poster on this site that mentioned that they already had several handguns, but was planning on buying three more. The poster did not indicate that they were a collector. So why would a person with only two hands, need 5 or 7 or 10 handguns? The term "gun nut" is bandied about frequently. Would a person owning multiple handguns be a "gun nut"? What is a gun nut. I could understand guns with different purposes, but multiples of the same purpose - what end does that serve? I invite gun owners to respond. For anti-gun posters, I would ask that you confine your comments to rational cogent arguments, and not rude and insulting comments which serve no purpose other than to polarize opinion.

You can delegate the need to carry a gun to the ones who answer your 911 call...
