I own an AR-15, a 20 ga shotgun, a .22 target pistol, an 1873 Colt 45 replica (my favorite gun to shoot), a S&W 9mm, and a S&W 38.

The latter 2 are my winter and summer concealed carry weapons.

And I belong to a beautiful gun club just a few miles from my house.

Excellent! I try to do my part as well. I own a Mossberg 500 12 ga deer/turkey combo pump gun with interchangeable barrels, one rifled for slugs, a Mossberg 835 ULTI-MAG camo combo 12 ga pump gun, a Winchester Model 1200 12 ga pump gun, a Winchester Home Defender 12 ga pump gun with a shortened barrel and a pistol grip, a Remington model 1100 semi-auto, a Browning A-bolt 7mm magnum with a Leupold Vari X III 3.5 x 10--50 mm scope (my favorite hunting rifle of all time that I call Killer), a Panther Arms LR-10 .308 semi-auto with a Leupold 3 x 9--40mm scope, a Ruger556 AR-15 semi-auto with an EOTech scope, a Knight 50 cal muzzle loader with plain old iron sights, a Henry Arms customized .22 repeating rifle with inlaid stock, foregrip and octagonal barrel with a sweet iron sight, a Sig P226 TacOps .40, a Glock 27 .40, a Glock 17 9mm, a Walther PPQ 9mm, (my favorite concealed carry weapon) a S&W Bodyguard .380 as a backup CC weapon (because I have to go into Memphis at least 3 times a week and one pistol doesn't seem like enough) and an M&P Shield 9mm, all with trijicon night sights and custom triggers from various manufacturers. Oh, and a S&W Airweight .38 snub nose that hurts to shoot.

Oh, and a Matthews Solo Cam compound bow as well as a decent crossbow with a red dot scope I've yet to use.

Wait, I owned all those before the great flood swept them all out sea, about 5.5 hours away. I had them stored in a spare bedroom closet that I converted into a custom gun closet with the door jam reinforced on both sides with 2x4's secured with 8 inch lag bolts holding them together and a solid core door with reinforced heavy duty hinges secured by 2 deadbolts and two 3 inch slide bolts top and bottom secured by two heavy duty padlocks. I suppose someone could (have) eventually chop(ped) through the door with an axe but they aint kicking it in. Oh, and there was plenty of ammo for all of them that took up about half the closet. It all got burned up in the fire.

Oh, and I have a nice sized collection of vintage mint condition Case XX knives and several tactical style machetes and hatchets. And a big ass German Shepherd. And a pair of really cool nunchukas that I used to be very proficient with back when I was into the martial arts in my younger days.

Personally I think I need more because the closet still has empty spots. Did I mention I may (have) be(en) a bit of a gun enthusiast (at one time, before everything was stolen by traveling gypsies)?

My girlfriend thinks its a touch over the top and that I may be borderline paranoid but what does she know...
