46. I have a S&W 1911 PD (.45 cal) a sig P239 in 40 S&W for
my concealed carry piece, a shot gun for trap shooting, an AR 15 assault rifle for just plain fun, a Springfield XD-40 for the car a Marlin lever action 30.30, and a .44 magnum single action revolver. I think I'll get a S&W .357 5 shot revolver when I renew my CCW. May also get an 1861 Springfield replica cap and ball rifled .58 caliber civil war era musket. I shoot twice a month at least 3000 rounds per year, and I hit what I shoot at.

A gun in the hand is better than a cop on the phone. Do any of you really think the cops are there to protect you? If you do, then wake up and get real, no body else will protect you if you are not willing to protect your self.
