The vast majority of people who purchase firearms over the counter are not experts in using guns. Training and practice is something that is hugely overlooked, and that’s unfortunate. What do you think is better: to own one gun with plenty of ammo and be expertly trained in the use of that gun, or to own two guns but have limited ammo and training for both? Obviously the first option is more desirable. Let’s discuss this next and then cover the basic types of guns that you will need to cover your bases.
#Do all types of guns have rifling how to#
That being said, there is at least one fact that we should all be able to agree upon: being trained in how to use your gun in a true life-or-death situation and having a healthy supply of ammunition is more important than actually owning more firearms, at least for those who plan on using their weapons for defensive use. For someone who likes to collect different historical firearms, that person will never be able to own enough.īut, on the flip side of things, for someone who doesn’t necessarily likes guns but sees the value in owning one maybe for home defense and family protection, only one would suffice.
So how many guns do you really need? Here’s the answer: it varies by the individual.
In other words, you can be adequately armed with only two or three guns in your arsenal versus twenty or thirty, or even two hundred or three hundred (and really, you only need that many guns if you’re a collector or plan on outfitting your own personal army). The old saying goes that you should beware of the one gun man, because he more than likely knows how to use it. Regardless of which side you’re on, here’s something that most of us should agree on: simply owning more guns does not make you more armed. If you own a variety of guns in different calibers, you’ll have to stockpile far more ammo, and you’ll only end up having less ammo per caliber.įurthermore, if you have more guns, you won’t get as much training time in with each one and you’ll ultimately be less of an expert with your particular weapons of choice. Many would argue that it’s more important to pick only a handful of guns and train with them extensively, spending the money that you would have otherwise spent on more guns for ammunition instead. On the other hand, there are solid arguments against owning multiple guns. You also have backups in the event that you lose a gun or if any are damaged. And since you can always sell guns for higher prices later (depending on the model), you could be making a valuable investment. Owning more guns could also mean you’ll be owning more calibers, meaning you’re not limited in what you can pick up and use during an SHTF or ammo shortage situation.
