Do you think you've got enough guns ?

LAPD finds 1,200 guns, two tons of ammo in dead man's Pacific Palisades home - LA Times

More than 1,200 guns were strewn about the Palisades Drive house and garage, police said. The weapons ranged from high-end pistols to shotguns and rifles. Many had never been fired. Some were still wrapped in their boxes, with the price tags still attached.

Police also found roughly two tons of ammunition.

Detectives are also trying to find out why the man had so many guns. Smith said there were no initial indications that the man had a criminal motive, no signs he was smuggling the weapons or plotting any sort of attack.

Two tons of ammo...... That'd do nicely

I wish I was in his will

Nope.

Just proves you can never have enough guns and ammo.

His guns to ammo ratio is not quite right. 1200 guns should work out to about 7-10 tons of ammo.
That's what I work on anyway.

If you were buying 1200 guns you would probably get the 2 tonnes of ammos for free with them any way.
Just enough to brake in the barrels! :-)

Bugger they found my stash the bastards

Something we all should aspire to :thumbsup:

i have seen on US forums questions like ' how many guns do you own but never fired ' .. . and there is plenty of guys with more than one sitting around. In some ways it seems to me that having to much money and to many toys, when buying is more important than using them, you have a problem .. . . to me.

Is that not normal?

As a handbag or shoes is to Woman, Guns are to men.
If collecting is your thing, then do so if it makes you happy: but you cannot take 1,200 guns hunting...

Well, no way he was married :thumbsup:

I could never hide that many rifles from my better half, no matter how hard I tried :D

Makes me realise how lucky I am - mine just says "hey, new gun ? Nice !"

1,200 though, yeah nah....

My better half just rolls her eyes, but I think if i tried for 1200 I would have problems-space being just one of them!

While im not in that league, I was asked on the weekend how many guns i owned and i couldnt remember them all so im getting there.
It was a bit like one busy az winter (head down bum up. stupid work !) i went into my safe and found a new 10/22. I had always wanted one and there was one in there! After a bit of head scratching i just remembered buying it.

Apparently in Texas the saying is "if you know how many guns you own you don't have enough"

I had to show that to the other half.
She always asks why I " NEED" another rifle. I tell her it's not NEED I just WANT. Then she mutters something about shoes or something and goes away.

Yes I can relate to that, luckily she thinks my sneakily aquired Daniel Defense is my RockRiver, although has peered at it with suspicion

Mines sweet. Can't tell them apart. Calls them pointy tubes with oar type thingies on the end.

In a gun shop with my brother,he has more of a an issue,disposable income,older so more time to build a collection and maybe a tad prone to memory fade.Anyway he is handling a rifle that caught his eye and I can see the justifications scrolling through his mind when after about a minute he pauses having realized that it WAS HIS,he had left it there a year before to sell on behalf.So happy man walks out with a firearm with no $$$ changing hands.

Guns are cheap there. He must of had a big safe

Sent from my workbench

how many stamps do you have in your collection?

Imagine the size of his.......... Safe

well, you got to admit, there are several calibers to try

To answer the question in the title, no.

You can tell her that. ONCE!

I guess this just proves that old chestnut, he who dies with the most toys, still dies...
