Bright Spot

My buddy, JT, was talking to someone when asked about his being prepared for something and he included, "And I have a lot of guns!" in his list.

Marv, Willard and I all went, "Awwwwww, he thinks he has a lot of guns."

  1. Well, according to the gun-cops, the media and all the anti-gun people out there, I have a veritable arsenal of chaos and doom, and the fact that I have over 50 rounds of each caliber means I am an evil gun hoarder and a terrorist to boot.

    With what I have and the numbers of everything, you and Willard and Big Country and others would, yes, point and laugh if I decided to get mouthy about my ARSENAL of FREEDOM and all the FREEDOM SEEDS I have yadayadayada.

    There are people who are okay. People who are well off. And people who could outfit a squad or platoon and still not touch most of their collection.

    But anything over a single gun and a short box of ammo is a horde, arsenal, bunker (if it's a basement) or any other militaristic term for lots. Never do the anti-gunners use terms like 'collection,' 'a smattering,' 'eclectic group,' or anything like that.

    1. I think I entered some odd world when I started accumulating the correct combat loads and load-bearing gear for several eras...

      50-rounds? I have a repop belt that holds 100 rounds that dates from the Spanish American War...

    2. And that 100 cartridge belt makes you an eeeeeviiiiillll militia/right wing terrorist.

      Needless to say, my meager ammo collection doth far surpass a simple box of 50 rounds.

      Just waiting for the commies to come knocking on my door to seize my guns and ammo and pieces parts and knives and axes and swords and spears and tomahawks and machetes and, oh well, just let them try to take any one of the wifie's 70-odd knives... muhahahahaha.

    3. How many people reading this have more than 50 rounds of more than 50 different cartridges? Probably more than a few.

    4. Now there's an interesting question. My first crack at answering it was "Nawww, nowhere near that many. I'm a plain vanilla kind of guy when it comes to cartridges." Then I sat down and made a list and came up with 22. That's a good deal more than I originally thought.
